Helen helped lead the National Junior Honor Society induction ceremony at her school on Wednesday. She gave a talk about Scholarship and led the pledge for the new members.
She also played Leaves on the Seine on the piano.
Several friends from Helen's class were at the meeting. From the left are Helen, Becca, Roberta, Lucy and Clara.
Abe and Helen practiced this week to prepare to accompany the ward choir. They learned an arrangement of I Am A Child of God.
They didn't end of playing because it snowed Sunday morning. Our stake president canceled church for the stake. A large group of kids from our ward met at the soccer field in our neighborhood to play in the snow. Abe, Helen and Gibson are in the back right of the photo.
Gibson built a snow BB8.
Abe built a snowman. The snow is almost melted now. There is more snow in the forecast for this week, so we might have more snow days in our future.
A retired submarine captain named Mike lives in our ward. Brandan invited him to speak to the youth at the bishop's fireside this evening. He told stories and answered questions for about an hour.
He was the captain of the USS Drum, an attack submarine.
Mike says there are two kinds of ships, submarines and targets.
From the left are Emma, Hannah, Hailee, Helen, Mike, Aiden, Abe, Gibson and Hunter. Gib is holding a cross section of a submarine hull. It's three inches thick and very dense metal.
We had a great year in 2018 and wanted to remember some of the blessings we experienced. We started a list on our mudroom door. The paper is starting to tear so we're posting a photo here.
