Dear Magdalene,
Thanks for remembering my birthday with that pretty home made birthday card.
We are planning to come to Manti for a month from September 22 through October 22. I've asked the renter to vacate the house by Sept. 15. We're going to spend some time there and evaluate it's potential, or lack of same. I'm excited about the adventure and having a month there. We may take a trip back to see Laurie and Charlie for a few days somewhere in that month.
We took a trip back to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Nauvoo for Susie's oldest daughter, Amy's, wedding in the Nauvoo temple. It was a fun time. It was a family reunion, as well, with all the kids except the Wasatch Front dwellers there (except Charlie, who couldn't miss school, He's in Dental school in Pittsburgh, PA.)
After flying home from Susie's, we drove back to Utah and Idaho to see the ones that we had missed, especially Mary, who had just had a baby girl, named Olivia Janet Jones. We spent a few days in Idaho Falls, and tried to help her out. That was a fun trip also. We had recently purchased a 2000 Dodge Van which we drove on that trip. I love driving that van. We plan to bring it back to Manti. I put a mattress in the back after taking out the seats so Janet could lie down for her headache.
I've been working two days a week in the temple. I was called to be assistant coordinator on the Thursday shift about six weeks ago. I have since had to sub for the coordinator twice when he went on trips. I will again this Thursday, and the Thursday before we leave for Manti. I really look forward to going to the temple. Janet was called to work the Thursday shift with me about three weeks ago.
I'm still working in the dental office two mornings a week, when there is work for me to do. That gives me two days a week to play on the farm in my watermelon patch and orchard and birds. I love my life.
I'm glad to hear that you're doing well.
I tried to call the cemetery office in Manti several times, in an attempt to make arrangements for Maren to get that third cemetery spot that you mentioned to me, but couldn't get anyone to answer. I'll try again when we get there.
We'll see you soon.
Love, Robert.
