This has been a really great week for our family. Each of us have been in different but wonderful places, experiencing many great things.
Amy has been playing camp nurse this week at girls camp for the second year in a row. She loves it, but is glad to be home now with the family.
Howard was at a conference at Columbia Univ. in NYC; He had a wonderful presentation and enjoyed his time there despite some travelling setbacks.
Malorie, Camarie and Amy were at girls camp 2 hrs. east of our home in northeastern Dallas area; this was Camarie's first year, and it seemed she had a very wonderful time. Malorie turns 14 this Saturday, and we can all agree that it's about time she got a little older ;)
Brennen was at EFY an hour west of our home in Denton. He seemed to have had a blast. He will leave to participate in the Hill Cumorah Pageant work crew shortly. We will miss him, but we know he can't hardly wait to go.
Alec traveled a few hours in his mission for a conference with Elder Neil L. Anderson in Nice, France; He was also able to hear messages from Elder Dieter F. Uctdorf, Elder Anderson's wife, his mission president, and many more.
Jenessa also had a visiting general authority to her mission, Elder Larry Echo Hawk; Her investigators are doing well, and she is now in the final countdown until she returns home to her family.
Aaaaand drum roll... On Thursday Julianna opened her mission call and is called to Milan Italy (which land borders Alec's mission)! She reports to the Provo MTC on October 29. She's flying home from BYU in a week to begin saving for her mission.
Also, We'd like to wish a HAPPY FATHER's DAY to the greatest man in our lives. We all owe him our love and devotion as he has been the patriarch of our home for many years.
So, I'd say life is good for all of us.
A family that prays together stays together.
Love,
The Dover Daily
