A Story from Scott's Mission

  Skyline of Little Rock, Arkansas Scott served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission. He served in Memphis, Tennessee, and Little Rock, Arkansas, as well as a few other places.  His last area was in Little Rock. This story is about a woman he baptized named Glenda Bennett. Two missionaries named Elder Smith and Elder Stanger knocked on Glenda's door but Glenda was really busy at that moment. Among other things, she was trying to clean her house but the plug of her vacuum had gotten stuck in an outlet and she couldn't get it out. She told the missionaries this and one of the missionaries had been an electrician so he offered to get it out for her. He was successful and they made an appointment to come back and teach her. Sadly, I have no picture of Glenda with Scott but here she is with a couple of other missionaries from his mission whom Scott served with.

Family History Moment, March 2016

A picture of Lincoln from his mission with a soon-to-be familiar face in the background! March 6, 2016 (written by Scott) Yesterday, Ev, Su, Cam, and I went to SLC to help my mother with painting, drywall, and yard work. Talmage went to the stake powwow and was the only student in Citizenship in the Community. Everett's bball team lost in the OHS intramural tournament. He consoled himself by playing in the Mountain View Intramural bball tournament. Su and T are still both in track. Talmage's friends have apparently dropped out. Camille made a little yarn bunny in activity days, but then shredded it for fun. Su, T, Min, Cam, Paula, and I watched Ella Enchanted last night. Camille visited the kidney clinic in SLC. Her creatinine is a little higher, so we're pushing fluids a little more. Paula taught the RS lesson today and almost ran out of material. Susanna drove us to SLC to my mother's house. She has 8 hours driving in. Su, T, and E had a combined activity at the Bean ...

Family History Moment, February 2016

Feb. 7, 2016 We drove to Rexburg this weekend to visit the Morris family and see Max's baptism. We saw the Craigs too and enjoyed that. Everett's basketball team dramatically won one of their basketball games this week. T and the deacons worked on the fast offering routes. Ev and the priests went to the temple Wed. morning. Susanna did a photo scavenger hunt for YW. Mindy made chocolate-dipped strawberries in Activity Days. Feb. 14, 2016 Yesterday Everett took Mariah Oakeson to the OHS sweetheart's dance. They ate English muffin pizzas at Noah Johnson's. Camille is at grade level now in school so she moved from an IEP to a 504. She will have aides in class and still go to Adaptive PE. E, S, T, and M went to the dentist. Su has two small cavities, although she contests the second one. The youngest four plus Scott and Paula went sledding at Aspen Grove yesterday. T went off a big jump and hurt his rear end (still in pain today). We're thinking about burying our trampo...
