The Drop off on a Wednesday, January 23, 2024

Emma's Home MTC was awesome.  She enjoyed doing her MTC sessions at the office with Travis.  She was able to enjoy a few outings with friends, and she even got to go to one of Maleck's basketball games. On Tuesday, she said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Weaver, her best friend Lily, and then we gathered around the fire pit at Second East and enjoyed making a memory together.  There is no word like the word TOGETHER!







The next day we drove in two separate cars to Provo where Seleck and Leydi (Amanda had to work) joined us for lunch at Zupa's.  We talked and laughed some more, and we tried not to cry.  Afterwards, we went to the Provo temple for pictures and hugs, and little chats with siblings.  I love how our fab five love each other.  A woman there (who reminded me of my grandmother Weaver  said to Emma, "This is the BEST WORST day of your life, but you can do it." 











           This was a hard moment.  There is nothing quite like a daughter, and I only have one.








 There she goes.... I don't like good byes either does Emma so let's say see you later sis!  God Speed!

We had goal setting as a zone this morning, cool to see the zone come together and make goals to help fulfill the fathers will. personal study today was good. I am so close to finishing the book of mormon. I really liked Ether 15:34. Just how it refers to doing the lords will, which is something that I am not the best at. Today the lord concecrated our efforts. We got a super prepared refferal who wants to learn more about the book of mormon. And the other one literally ran into us on the way back to our car.

A note from Daddy Travis

 August 21, 2024 Good Morning Hermana! I am looking forward to hearing about your new area, your new apartment, and about your WANT LIST for the next package I am going to send you!  The cherry chip cookies you will absolutely love!!!   Remember the object of this week – REMEMBER LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PAST!  A quick story for you – Mary and her mommy were going for a walk .  Some people they passed were frowning ( pause your reading this story and put on the biggest frown that you have) .  Mary asked Mommy, “Why are the people so sad?” Mommy said, “I don’t know, but maybe we can smile at them and help them be happy.” As they walked along, Mary saw a woman coming toward them. Mary smiled her biggest smile  (pause again and put on your biggest smile!)..  When the woman saw Mary’s happy face, she smiled back. Mary said, “It worked!” Mommy said, “When we choose to be happy, it helps others be happy too.”   These past weeks, I have needed your ...
