Happy Valentine's Day

Today, Sunday, we invited the Bergesons and Judys to join us for Sunday dinner. The Bergesons are site missionaries from St. George area and the Judys are FM missionaries and are from Idaho Falls area. Wonderful people and we had a great visit.



This is Sister Nancy Bassett. We have been visiting with her since we arrived in Palmyra. She has recently undergone hip surgery. She is a wonderful mother and her children are very devoted to her and visit often.

Thursday evening we had rain and it got very cold and we had what they call an "ice storm". The next day it was beautiful. The trees all were covered with ice, it was gorgeous. The next day it snowed a little and then they looked frosted.



Thursday evening we drove to Waterloo where we watched the Waterloo High School basketball team play. Brother and Sister Lowry's son, Chance played on the varsity team. Dr. Lowry is our wonderful chiropracter. He is so very good to all the missionaries. They live in Fayette Ward.


Friday we helped at the Bishop's Storehouse. This is Bro. Pallo, the new storehouse director, taking it easy. The big truckload, which comes in once a month from SL, just arrived. We helped unload and put things in their places. We try to go over every Friday to help with produce and filling orders. These directors are saints, what a great work they do. We were working with the Chapmans who had been there for 20 months. Great people.


Saturday we were in the temple from 8 am to 6 pm. We had some great sessions. In the morning we were baptistry directors and then were officiators on the 1st afternnon session. We stayed to help cleanup and finish up the laundry. At 8 pm we went to the Stake Center for the Worldwide Leadership Training. We hope you are all able to see it. Families are at the center and how we love and appreciate ours. They are the very best and they bring such joy into our lives. All you have to do is look at our cute grandchildren on this site to know what I mean. Good job Kimberly, Gary, Kory, Katie, Kelly and Rob. Happy Valentines day to you all, we love you.

21 Feb 2008. How time flies. Love your blog. Wish I had your talent but I have started one. It is chuckandleora.blogspot.com. I was going to email you but don’t have your address. I am from Ammon, Idaho and knew lots of Judy’s. Joan Judy was my classmate. Our family lived on what is now east 17th just across the railroad track. The house is still there but the farm is all houses. My two sisters have homes on what used to be Laurence Ricks farm. We are loving our temple mission in Costa Rica. Love, LeOra Hatton Stevenson.
