The upside of living in the same town for 22 years is that you have friends you've known a long time. You can enjoy each other's company and feel at ease around them. The downside is that I love the adventure of going to a new place, meeting new people, and not feeling stagnant. This past week I've been sorting out my Seminary stuff and mentally preparing for a new Seminary year. I got all my "Mormon Ads" in scripture order so when we study a certain scripture it will be easier to find a photographic way to present the idea. I found three great Mormon Ads for Seminary, so I chose one of them and prepared a simple post card of invitation, then mailed these to each of the 9 prospective Seminary students this year. I only know three of the students rather well, two I haven't seen in a few years and the other four I've never met, so I have my work cut out for me - get to know these six young people who are away from Church for some reason. That's quite a concern to me since the teen years make a major impact on an individual's entire life.
Our grandson was pretty sick last week and has now returned to good health. Now his sister is sick with an ear infection and she's on antibiotics now. We love these kids so much and pray for their well being as well as that of their parents. I was a little sick this week as well, but I think I'm ok now. I hate being sick!
G.A. got a new suit this past week and he posed for me to take his photo. Wow!
The reason I wanted to call this blog "Senior Moments" is because it seems that everything I've been coming in contact with has been geared to 30-40 year olds. A book I'm reading indicated that 40+ was old! Yikes, I'm in major trouble.
