If any of ye lack wisdom

we are starting another year with BYU Pathway Worldwide. this time as District leaders in South Lagos Nigeria. We  are excited but scared as now we need to help other missionaries learn about zoom and whatsup and we are still learning!! And part of our learning is admitting to needing to wear glasses when I type and that my fingers arent hitting the keys in the right place all the time. SO, if you see typos here, I am not wearing my glasses now nor can I see anyways, but we do love to learn and grow. I continue to have many guestions and a better understanding which I am seeking and praying to have answered.

spinning my way in this work out is one way I find peace in my day. Another is reading, all kinds of books Right now I am reading a book called Swimmers which I borrowed from granddaughter Layla. It is about working out in the water, finding peace and dimentia.

Jim has spent many many hours working on the fire house, tims property, and now Jarons new home. The good is at almost 80 he can still put in a full days work and it brings him great joy

I love being a helper in Valsr  class and she usually lets me lead yoga and or some kinds of PE activity. I miss teaaching but I dont have the energy to do a full day everyday. Valerie is greatly loved by her students and faculty

Natalie and Mariah and Layla are here. Natalie is doing nails and sows her great talent in art by hand painting designs on our nails. I just love having her do mine, She is so talented.

my youngest grandson brings me great joy and I can usually share each early out day with a fun activity. He is funny and inquesitive and teaches me each time we are together. SOOO  if any of you lack wisdom I have included some of the ways I have found that help me. Being wtih those you love, using your talents, working out, reading ,,and going to the temple and praying.v I dont have all (even any) of the answers but I am working on it.

      

 

Band Nationals in Indianapolis

we had an exciting weekend sharing the talent and hardwork of over 90 bands from around the nation. Kade and his school compete again this year coming in the top 25 making it to semi finals. It was great fun for me to see all the creative choregraphy, sets, and of course the marching bands music and costumes

On of the days we met up with Kim, Lorianes daughter who the kids grew up  thinking they were cousins because we got together often. We laughted and cried as we shared our love and testimonies 

me and the boys just hanging

I taught them 3's , a new card game which Erik soon mastered

I alwaays love the beauty of the Canton area and lucky for me the kids had a day off while I was there

Sharing more talent, Erik is a nija warrior and while we were gone Austin ran fast enough to finish the cross country year making it on Varsity his freshman year 18.18.8

And I always love time with Val. We go to her school and I get to help her as a TA and I love being called granma again and again. But most of all being loved and getting to love them and even teaching a little yoga while I am there. All and all we ahad a great adventure and charish these times together
