Over The Years Our Saturday's Have Changed

Saturday used to be the day we would sleep late, get things ready for Sunday, and work together as a family. It was the day most of the family would be home from work or school so we could do family projects. Time changes things. Our children are now on the other side of the world from us with their own busy schedules. We now get up and going earlier on Saturday than any other day of the week as we go teach Institute. Our Saturdays are also filled with talking with our family via the Internet, shopping, meetings and still getting ready for Sunday.

This morning we had eighteen that came to the Institute Class. One of the class members that just served a mini-mission was there twenty minutes early, he is still pumped up from his wonderful experience.

As we prepared to make our calls to family, the Internet at our apartment went down and would not come back up. After two hours we went to the Service Center to make at least a few calls home. When the Internet finally came back up we had a Skype video message from our three year old granddaughter, Kate. She would not even look at the camera, she was mad that she could not talk to us. We definitely missed out on talking to our grandchildren today.

Elder Oveson had to go to Stake Presidency meeting and then Stake Leadership Meeting, he was the first speaker today. He used the Delegation PowerPoint presentation to teach them why and how to delegate. One more presentation down three more to go.

Tonight's collage includes the beautiful sunset that we had today, the new building that is under construction across from our apartment, and part of Elder Oveson's PowerPoint presentation.
