Abe turned 16 on Wednesday! We love his quick wit and kind heart.
Abe is looking forward to getting his driver's license soon. He put new windshield wipers on his car this week.
Abe got a part time job as a soccer referee this spring and reffed his first game on Saturday.
Gibson played three soccer games on Saturday. He was worn out by the end of the day. Gibson is in the middle of the field in this photo.
Helen competed in a sonatina competition on Saturday. Each candidate played a memorized sonatina for a judge. Helen was happy and surprised to see Louvey and Amy at the competition, friends from Siskiyou Violins. Helen played Sonatina in G major by Dussek.
On Saturday we listened to conference through ear buds at soccer games. We started a puzzle Saturday morning, but no one was home much to work on it. On Sunday we enjoyed conference at home and appreciated the opportunity to watch all of the talks uninterrupted.
Mostly we just listened. Helen created beautiful notecards with her favorite quotes from conference. Abe, Helen and Gibson played conference bingo on Sunday afternoon.
Sofi sent us a photo of herself playing conference bingo with friends at her house in Salt Lake. From the left are Sofi, Nelson, Sam and Jaqueline.
Brandan, Abe and Gib finished up the puzzle shortly after conference ended. Now we all want to visit Italy. Gibson's favorite part of conference was watching the tour of the Rome temple during the world report. Another reason to visit Italy! Helen's favorite part was taking notes. Abe liked the talks by Elder Uchtdorf, Elder Stevenson, Elder Renlund and liked working on the puzzle. Becky and Brandan were impressed with President Nelson's unmistakable call to repentance. Brandan also liked that there were no new announcements, mainly because there were so many rumors before conference of what announcements would be made.
