One of the many responsibilities Aunt Angela has as the Stake Relief Society President often involves feeding the missionaries when they have a mission conference. The request is get them in, fed, and out in as short a period time as you can so the missionaries can get back to work. I think she has perfected that request.

Update
Back in March I shared a picture of Duncan working on a project to design and make a knife. This is the end result. I still am not to sure I'm excited about this particular activity but Duncan was very happy with his finished project.
If you notice the boy on the right--that's exactly what I worry about😏 Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Fortunately, Duncan is much brighter than his friend! |

May I Say
I know that my grandchildren are perfect but I have to say that my three newest grandchildren are absolutely the best of the best. Rachel, Ellis, and Owen have married the most wonderful spouses and I absolutely love them. Thank you Austin, Lexy, and Evangeline for coming into our family and adding so much goodness to it. What can I say-- we've hit the jackpot!

Father/Son in AZ
The Whitney boys and dad enjoyed a night away with other members of their ward. From the pictures Christian sent, it looks like they had a great time. It was especially nice because Lincoln was home to join them. The Utah Duncan's outing is next week.

Fathers and Sons Time
It is that time of year again. The men and boys head up to the camp grounds and the girls stay home and party! Last Saturday Uncle Andy and Caleb went to their wards campout and since Uncle Andy was still whispering because of his long lasting illness and couldn't join in the campfire conversations very much, he and Caleb did some exploring. No pictures of the two of them but I wanted to share some of the things they found on their walks around the area.
