Second day of Summer Vacation

I saw this on Bountiful High's Instagram.  89 days til we start school again. 
 I have to go back before that.  I just counted and I have 80 days of summer vacation.  I have never counted the days before.  Seems like a long time when it is just starting and it goes by soo fast.




Started Day 1 with Golf League at Mullians with Michelle.  Lunch at Marias.
Great time and great golf.  We actually played 18 holes because we played the 9 holes twice.  We are cool like that.

Day 2 of Summer Vacation, I started at the Hotworx with my new Blue Towel. I love that Towel.  So great for resting.  I did some Yoga and mostly rested through Pilates.  Tomorrow I'm really going to do the class. ..)


This was my night time snack.  It is from Mother's day

Michelle and Mark are both doing the Metamucil therapy.  I found mine from a long time ago, and it is still full.  It is suppose to lower Cholesterol and add fiber to your diet.  Guess won't hurt to try it since I already have it.

Finally in the high 40s - Jack's email from Alaska

This week was pretty chill not going to lie. It was finally warmer then it has been. It's been gloomy and rainy for the last like two weeks almost but we finally got sunshine over here and everything is starting to turn green so that has been good. There's a big difference in people when its dark for 20 hours compared to when its sunny for almost 20 hours. My companion and I woke up today and it was 6 30 am and It looked like it was noon outside because of the sunshine. But yeah its been a pretty good week so far. I get to fly to Juneau Alaska for a conference this week too so that should be way cool 


Highlights
- Sydney finally made it to church 

- we were able to have some really good lessons 

-we talked to A LOT of people 

Lowlights 
- my comp and I got into some arguments this week 🤣

- majority of our friends cancelled on us 

- not too many people wanted to talk to us this week. 

Anyways this week was super fire regardless of what people's reactions to us were. 
Spiritual thought: the whole mission got told to study our patriarchal blessing and what they are so important did that yesterday and it is actually so cool. Patriarchal blessings are just one of the best things om the earth and sometimes we don't necessarily always read them. I read mine and forgot the power they have in my life.

The Hide out, Millsite, and Carbon Country Club

 The day after school got out, headed to southeastern corner of Utah.  Golf at the Hide out in Monticello.  It was Memorial Day weeekend


It did get recommended to me to try these other balls from Dicks.  I had $20.00 in rewards points at Dicks so I decided to buy them.  I ended up liking them.  


The Hideout is one of my favorite courses.  I didn't take many pictures.  Here's one of all of us in the hole.  I did get a great shirt in the clubhouse though


Here are some pics that Victoria took.  It was a bit chilly and we got a few drops of rain but that was it.  That is Kim and me in the far cart.  Sandra's head in the close cart.  


We Then traveled over to Millsite Golf Course in Ferrin, Utah.
I had never played this course before.  Ferrin is really in the middle of no where.  About 40 minutes off the Freeway and you don't see a single car or person or Gas Station.
Then you come to Ferrin.  It was a really pretty town and a Golf Course.  That's the club house.  We had to wait for a cart.  
It was a great course but they are short on water.  The fairways and greens were ok, but the pro said he didn't know what would happen later on in the summer when they didn't have mch water.  
It was cool terrain with lots of desert motif and dirt.

The reservoir near the course.  It was super low.



That is the dam for the reservoir.  It was also the third hole next to it.  We all had our furthest drive of our life because there was a hill and the balls just kept on rolling.  We thought it was in the bushes and nope, our balls were at the bottom of the hill.


These are the Tee Markers. I think Ferrin was a mining town.


Here we all are.
Maureen, Victoria, Sandra and Kim


Victoria took these pics






Then on Memorial day, we traveled to Price, UT and played at the Carbon County Golf Club.  Yes a golf club in Carbon County




Ted, Kent, and Carey 


Victoria
Sandra - fun fact, I have that shirt.  I need a red skirt to match it

Kent

Carey



This is who went to Monticello.  Erick left the day before so he didn't make it in the photo.

Michelle family picture and I can't see the picture of Moses

 Michelle's family went to Leeds and stayed in my cousin's air B and B.  It was super fun she said and got family pics.  Here's the collage.  Love it.  


Theo, is 3 and in sunbeams.  I asked him how it was, and he said he pushed someone.  Why I said.  Well, he said he couldn't see the picture of Moses.  

Since I teach the CTR 4 kids, we were also learning about Moses and conveniently I had this picture sitting in my room from our lesson.  I took it and sent it to Michelle to pass on to Theo so he can have is own picture of Moses.  


Never understood the reasoning of putting Moses in a basket in the water and thinking he would survive.  Seriously...Did he not drown or get eaten by anacondas?  He lived to star in the play Prince of Egypt so  evidently getting put in a basket in the water is a good way to protect one's brand new baby from being killed by soldiers.  

Tuesday Golf at the Rose park

 Andrew and Brooke go to Grandma's on Tuesday and help her and go to Lunch.   We decided to golf after that at the Rose Park.  Brooke came with the Ton and walked with us.



Rose Park has these new Tee Box markers.  They are plastic like someone printed them off their 3D printer.  They are kindof cool, but some of the Tee Boxes don't have two of them because I'm sure they have been Broken.  But they are cool for as long as they last.


We were actually walking, I'm sitting on the stool on the push cart.  I think that is hole 2. 


Nick was there too but golfing with other people.  He was a few holes ahead of us.  That is him on Hole 7 I think and we are on 5.


I didn't get a pic of Andrew since the only time I could take a pic was when he was teeing off and I wasn't very close to him.  So here's a pic of him from Sunday.


I'm going on a golf trip and was thinking of wearing this.  The shirt is from Falcon Ridge in Mesquite and I think it might be too small.  Brooke said no.  The skirt is from PGA store.  


Brooke said wear it so I'll probably do that.

10 pm and the sun still out - Jack's email from Alaska

This week was pretty cool not gonna lie, I got my new comp and I love him hes hilarious. This has been the funniest week of my life for sure. We realized we both worked at lagoon in 2021 in the same department so I've definitely ran into this guy before being mission companions with him.  Anyways this week was very blessed. We had a lot of lessons but not a ton of people showed up to church so that was an L highkey but thats okay. I hit a year tomorrow which is absolutely insane to me. 

 Highlights:

-we had a media referral come in named Paul and hes native and we had a lesson that was good. 

 -its daylight til about 11 30 now here which is crazy 

 - our friend Evan came to church that was good 

 -my new comp is an absolute chilla

 -we had a fire lesson with our boy tyler

 Lowlights:

-none of our other friends showed up to church

 -we weren't able to really talk to a lot of people this week 

 -some of our friends apparently still dont know how to answer our calls smh 

 Spiritual thought:

This lady at sacrament gave a talk and talked about the anti Nephi Lehis putting down there weapons of war and related it to things that slow us down from growing. She asked "what are our weapons of war that we can put down" i have been pondering this ever since I heard it and I think one of the biggest things is to be the best example and to love others.
