2-16-2020 - Transfers, Goodbyes, and Service

Transfers always bring change. Sister Osterhout was transferred to the Sandy Springs District where the Atlanta Temple is with Sister Nebeker as her new companion. Sister McKee was also transferred. We will miss them so much. They are two wise and excellent leaders. Our church leadership will be in good hands as it moves to this next amazing generation.

I need to practice making hearts for the camera!
This week Elder Bailey, who has been in our district as the AP for the last 5 1/2 months, finished his mission and went home to Alaska. When I mentioned to him that our daughter, Carlee, and her family would be moving to Anchorage in two weeks, he responded, "Does she need help moving in?" That is a typical response from Elder Bailey. We assured him that Conoco/Phillips would be doing the moving.

We also said goodbye to Sister Williams and Sister Bacon, who completed their missions as well. They were in our district during the first part of our mission. Sister Williams will be going home to Centerville and Sister Bacon, to Las Vegas.

President and Sister Clayton invited us to a Valentine's Dinner at the Braelinn Golf Club in Peachtree City. The company and food were terrific!  

Valentine's Dinner with Elder & Sister Michaels,
Sister & President Clayton, Elder & Sister Kone, and Sister & Elder Merrell.

Sister Michaels worked with a service group in Utah called "Days for Girls." Volunteers create hygiene kits for girls in Africa and all over the world. She found a group that meets once a month in Carrollton, GA, so Sisters Clayton, Michaels, Kone, and I spent Saturday morning with a group of Baptist volunteers helping to make kits.  We plan to volunteer again next month.  There is always a good feeling when serving others.

This month my grandson, Hudson, was recognized for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. He also earned two bronze, one silver, and one gold palm. He loved the scouting program. We are so proud of him and his amazing accomplishment!  He is 14 years old.
