20 February 2022

Gibson played in the last concert for the winter series on Sunday afternoon. Becky volunteered as an usher and took this photo of Gibson before the performance.

This container of drumsticks behind the snare drums caught her eye. We didn't know there was such a wide variety of styles.

This is a photo of Samuel, Ezra and Gibson after the concert. The symphony will take a few weeks off from rehearsing and then begin preparing for their spring concert.

Helen spent the first half of the week in Portland at the state DECA competition. They walked to a Trailblazers game on Saturday. From the left are Collin, Tyler, Helen, Noah, Hannah, Clara, Malia, Lily, Mackenzie, Chloe, Lucy, Mary, Rowen, Tayvon, Ryder and Bryan.

They stopped for dinner at a food truck parking lot. Clockwise from the left: Collin, Rowen, Mary, Mackenzie, Lucy, Lily, Clara, Tyler, Noah, Malia, Hannah, Tayvon, Ryder, Helen, Chloe and Bryan.

They met lots of great people from around the state. This is a photo of Crater kids playing cards with Will, Colin and Olin from Bend.

Here is the Crater team all dressed in their DECA blazers. Front row: Malia, Lily, Mackenzie, Lucy, Collin and Rowen. Back row: Bryan, Noah, Clara, Tyler, Chloe, Hannah, Tayvon, Helen, Ryder and Mary.

They spent lots of their spare time preparing for their role plays and getting ready for competition which occurred on Monday and Tuesday. The event ended with an awards ceremony Tuesday night. Helen sent us a link so we could watch from home. Helen won 5th place in the Retail Marketing event and she and her teammate, Chloe, won 2nd place in the Business Ethics event. This is a screenshot from the awards ceremony of Helen waiting onstage for the awards to be announced.


This is a photo of Helen and Chloe with their trophies. Their win means they will travel to Atlanta in April for the International Career Development Conference.

Helen went to Kate's birthday party on Saturday night and a bunch of kids ended up in our backyard playing hide and seek. Front row: Lila, Danny and Elise. Middle row: Kate, Luci, Karrah, Emma, Noah and Natalya. Back row: Helen, Addi, Mary and Shaun.

Our stake held stake conference this weekend. Elder Vo'i Taeoalii from Hawaii presided at the conference. A Polynesian family in our stake made leis for Elder Taeoalii and the members of the stake presidency. This is a photo of Elder Taeoalii and President Idiart, showing their leis.

And this is a photo of Brandan with his lei, along with our friend, Erik. We enjoyed the beautiful conference and the spirit of Hawaii added to the spirit of the meeting
