FULL SUNDAY

Wow this Sunday was a full one for us. First we went to the Decker Family's confirmation. Luckily their Sacrament started at 9am. We sat in the back so that we could leave as soon as the confirmations were through. What a wonderful spirit there was there. Joe's grandfather confirmed him apparently his grandfather has been waiting for him to be baptised for 31 years and it finally happened. I believe his grandfather is in his 90's. He did a great job as did all the other people who confirmed everyone else.

As soon is the last one was confirmed we headed out to Las Vegas for my cousin Elder Brett Leavitt's returning talk. We stopped in St. George to pick up Jessica and meet up with my parents. Then we were on our way. We got there a little early which gave us a little time to visit. We had a lot of family there which was wonderful to see. Brett did a great job on his talk about Missionary Work. He let us all know that we all need to be missionaries and not be afraid to talk to our non-member or less active friends and neighbors. His older brother Bryce who lives in the Mid-west somewhere (I can't think of where) was able to fly out and join us. The organist was sick so we got to hear Bryce play the organ (he is the best organ player I have ever heard). Then for the musical number Brett's sisters Shelice and Taralee, Shelice's husband Kyle and my Uncle Ronnow sang to us. It was beautiful.

After church we went to Uncle Ronnow and Aunt Rhonda's house to have food and great visiting. It was really fun to see all that came. Some of the cousins we see often but some we hardly ever see. Man it is hard when everyone grows up and goes their own ways.


Brett is the tall one if you couldn't tell. I think Austin looks alot like him.
