neighborhood news.

Tuesday when our Relief Society had a dinner for the anniversary of the organization of the Relief Society, someone asked me if I had heard about Gloria Singleton and I said no she hasn't been home lately. So, Thursday I called Elizabeth Thomas and talked to her. The sad news is that Gloria has cancer. She found a lumb in her breast and when it was taken out it was found that cancer had spread to other parts of her body. She is currently living at Cathie's place. She is having treatment but don't know if it will do any good.

We are having beautiful sunny skies yesterday and today, but a storm is coming this weekend. I didn't pay much attention to the weather report, just take it as it comes. Our springs are crazy anyway.
Love you call, Gma

This evening we had our Relief Society Birthday dinner. Lots of good food and fun things to do. My fun thing was to visit with the lady and her husband who are the Family History people in our Ward. We could have had more people there to help eat the good food but some never come to things like that. One couple in our ward come to dinners but hardly ever to Sunday meetings. He's got health problems and he's kind of grumpy, his wife his very nice, kind of quiet. One lady came who has just become active in the church lately and really enjoyed the evening.
Found a power cord for my old flat bed scanner today, now I can use it to scan lots of old pictures and papers that have to do with geneology. Well, that is all for now. Good night. Gma

Hi, its another sleepless night. Had too much on my mind to sleep good this week. But taking a nap after coming home from my morning at the Jordan River Temple could be a big part of it.
I have now done the baptism, and other ordinances for 3 women ancesters on my father's family and have the baptisms done for 3 men. Now to find more names to get done. We lost a lot of people who have worked in the JRiver Temple for many years, most of them will be working in the new Draper Temple. It makes it easier to find a good parking place but makes us short on Temple workers. We do have about 4 or 5 new trainees and that will help.
Teaching 7 to 8 year old kids in Primary is a challange and I'm a little rusty but its coming along. We have a mixture of nationalities, one Somoan, one Philipine, and one part Philipine or ?, and the rest Anglos. They don't hold still much and its a challange to get the lesson done without a lot of interruptions but they are cute and one is getting Baptized this afternoon. He's got the cutest dimples when he smiles, and he knows he's a charmer.
My brother, Howard (Butch to family), has his youngest son, Alan, arriving home from his mission this weekend. He will find things changed since he left 2 years ago. His mother died, his dad remarried. His brothers are wondering how much he has changed and will he want to dress like he did before he left on his mission.
Well, time to end this chatter. Miss all of you and want you to know that I miss being able to visit more often. Love to all. Gma
