Another Busy Week

I am going to do my best to get a post up at least once a week. So in that spirit I wanted to take a few minutes and recap last week.

As usual we had something going on nearly every night last week. There was a Primary board meeting, yes I am still helping with the Valiant 11 boys, on Tuesday. The Bronco Men's Basketball team played on Wednesday night and beat Cal State Bakersfield 84 - 72. Cal State was a bit outmatched and the Broncos never trailed.

Thursday Mikki went to the Stake Women's Conference and I stayed home and prepared a casserole for the next day. On Friday Mikki and I attended Virgina Hansen's funeral at the Ward Building. Mikki was her visiting teacher for a year or so. The Relief Society provided lunch for the Hansen family at the church after the graveside ceremony.

The funeral service was very moving, Virgina was very well liked and quite a personality. She left very specific instructions about what she wanted said at her funeral and both Corey Perkins and Bill Brown followed her instructions. Her testimony of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Plan of Salvation were emphasised. I felt the service was very uplifting a celebration of Virginia's life and the promise that her family will be reunited.

Later that night there was a party at the church. Sister Scholes arranged an ice cream and game night. The attendance was very good and everyone had a great time. Families brought their favorite games to share, Carter really liked the fishing game and Ryan played Risk. Kennedy was bored with the whole thing and just hung out with Megan.

The weather was bad on Saturday so we didn't go up to Bogus. The mountain was clouded in most of the day making visibility very poor. I spent the time doing some minor repairs around the house. I never thought I would be a plumber but I was able to replace the drain in a bathroom sink after finally locating the correct parts. The Broncos played against Siena Saturday night loosing 93 - 70. It was a tough game for the Broncos against a small but very quick team. The officials did not help out very much making some very interesting calls and allowing the teams to be very physical.

This week promises to be just as busy with the State Basketball Tournament starting on Thursday. We are really looking forward to Mikki's family coming over to visit.
