This morning, my niece, Tashiya, spoke in church and told some of the experiences she enjoyed on her mission to Oregon. It was wonderful to hear her. She sounded so mature and confident! And she gave a beautiful testimony of the Savior!
My sister, Joan, not only played the organ in Sacrament meeting, but also taught Relief Society! I was amazed at her teaching skills and ability to make us all think deep thoughts. She was also skilled at directing the comments made by other sisters. She is a mature and confident, just like her daughter!
I enjoyed meeting Joan's first granddaughter, Fern. She was born in the same town I was born in--Browning, Montana. She was born a month shy of 65 years after me!
She was named after my mother, who's middle name is Fern! It's too bad you have to live to be 90 to get someone to finally name a baby after you!
In the afternoon we met for lunch at Snow Park in St. George. Joan's family provided the buffalo meat, fresh from the boys' kill on the reservation last fall!
To top it all off, Naji and a friend did some hoop dancing for us! The rest of the family joined in a drum circle to accompany them all!
As if that weren't enough, we all went over to Annette's in the evening where we stuffed ourselves on taco soup and fixin's!
It was a great day with family. Tomorrow we're going to try to work off some of the extra calories we consumed by taking a hike in Zion National Park!
