Good morning Jared,
This week is the first week of Spring!
Saturday night we went to dinner at Cafe Rio and ran into Cadence and Ian. They both work there. They asked about you and wanted to know how you were doing. They said to tell you hi. Ian said that his Aunt fed you dinner awhile back. It's a small world.
The speakers in the Sacrament program were the members of the Elders Quorum; Mike Johnson, Topher Maxwell and Ryan Davis. I thought Topher did a great job and spoke directly to the youth. I noticed Taylor gave him his undivided attention. Ryan stood up and said, "The last time I spoke in Sacrament meeting was about a year ago when Jared Wise left on a mission". It caught me off guard and choked me up a little bit. I had forgotten that he spoke with you.
Wednesday night was the South Davis Orchestra. Mikayla and Hallie both did very well. They are getting pretty good. After hearing them practice solo for so long it was neat to hear them with the full orchestra. It was beautiful.
Tim is in town. He came over this week to visit. He hasn't changed much, he still likes to tease an have a good time. It was fun to see him. He and Steffi will come back this week and cook us a German meal.
I went to our caucus meeting Thursday night. I'm trying to be a little more politically involved. It was interesting how things work but I was a bit annoyed how unprofessionally things were run. We voted for people who wanted to be delegates, but because there was such a huge turnout, they ran out of ballots. They were just using pieces of paper, so there was no way to know if people voted more than once or even if people who weren't supposed to vote were voting. After I came home it bugged me even more. Oh well...what can you do? That reminds me, are you going to vote this year? If so, we need to get you and absentee ballot. Let me know.
Taylor is still on his fixing spree. He got the snow blower going. Yeah! Maybe next year it will snow. A working snowmobile and a working snowblower and no snow this year. Weird!
Have an amazing week. I sure love you!
Mom
Hey,
This week may be the first day of Spring, but it feels like summer here. It's already pretty hot and humid. We've been biking all over the place in the heat. We're not the only ones though. Next month is the "Little 500" bike race. It sounds like it's a pretty big deal. There's even a movie about it called "Breaking Away".
It has been Spring break here this week, so we didn't get many teaching appointments. We spent a lot of time finding people to teach. We also helped a lot of people with yard work which was a nice change. We had a pretty cool miracle happen this week. We were walking down a street trying by a few potentials and I felt like we should knock on a door down the street. We knocked on the house and they guy wasn't interested at all. As we were walking away Elder Santy said he thought we should knock on the neighbor's house too. That's where we found Elnora, an old widow that needed help with yard work. She said she had been praying that someone that could help her clean up her yard would come along. We went back the next day to help her pick up some branches in her yard. We had a big blessing come from this service. While we were working Elnora's neighbor came over. We introduced ourselves to her and turns out she's a member that's not on our ward list. She hasn't been to church in a long time. She says she's not interested in coming back right now, but we said we wanted to help her with some yard work she lightened up a little. She said we might even get a church visit out of her.
We had a good lesson with Nikki and Josh this week. After the lesson Nikki told us some friends of hers told her not to listen to us, but Nikki said that everything we are saying makes sense. They're on the right track and doing well.
Love you,
Jared
