October Family Newsletter

Dear family,

I can’t believe that we are fully engrossed in yet another school year! Where does the time go?

We are all doing well. Kate and Hanah are playing soccer so we spend a lot of time being soccer parents. It is the first season for Hanah and she seems to love it. It’s funny to watch the kindergartners play as they pretty much run after the ball in a huge group!




Kate is doing great. She plays goalie full time for her team and is quite good. They have only lost one game thus far so that is always exciting. Bekah and Scott are both in band this year. For Bekah it’s her 3rd year playing the sax. Scott is just beginning to learn the clarinet. I must admit that I am a bit sad by his choice of instrument as I was hoping to have a drummer. I hope that next year he will decide to take choir as he has a very nice voice.




We had a pretty mellow summer. I was asked to attend girls camp in August and had a wonderful time! I love being with the young women. It was extra special as Rebekah was there as well. I was advisor to the 7th year campers and the girls decided that I was really one of them as mentally we are about the same age. I wasn’t sure if that was a complement but decided to take it as one!

I was called into the YW presidency in late April and then about 2 months later, the YW pres. was released and called to a stake position so as you know we all were released. I was so sad cuz I didn’t feel like I had been there long enough. I am happy to report that the new YW pres. asked for me to be her 1st counselor. I love working with the girls it’s so rewarding. I am always amazed at how strong the youth have to be these days. They are faced with so many evils that we didn’t face. Things that were rare occurrences when in I was a kid are now the norm and it seems to me that the Lord truly saved some of His strongest spirit children for this generation!

Kevin is still the ex. Secretary in the ward and really is happy there. He has had some exciting work happenings lately so he is really happy there. They appointed a new CEO. This guy is great. Kevin has enjoyed working with him. He promoted Kevin to Director of People and Training. HR is still his main focus but with some additional responsibilities and more money.

All and all we are doing great here. We do wish we could visit with you all a lot more often. I hate being so far away from you all. You are always in our thoughts and prayers.



Love,
Kevin, Trina and kids
