Mission Reunion & The Cone of Doom

Where has the summer gone?

Here are a couple photos of what we've done:

Here are the missionaries at David's mission reunion in July. Can you find him? None of his companions made it, but he did get to talk to Pres. Stokes and five missionaries he knew from his mission. And a couple he didn't know before. He also found out about a Facebook page for his mission he didn't know about before, so he was able to reconnect with a couple of his companions.

Here's a photo of David with Pres. Stokes - who is 95 years young. I love that he was dressed in missionary attire and had his name tag on. I could feel the love he has for all of the missionaries he guided and directed. I know David certainly loved Pres. Stokes. Sadly, Sister Stokes passed away ten years ago. I think the last mission reunion David and I went to was 20 years ago. Maybe longer than that.

Last but not least, here is Jetta in her Cone of Doom. Several foxtails stuck in her feet and her sores got infected. I got most of the foxtails out, but the vet had to sedate her and get the rest of them out of her feet - 

and her ears. 

At first the cone made Jetta afraid of everything, especially the kitchen floor. Once she got used to it, Jetta started ramming into our legs with her cone. One day the sister missionaries were over and they were aiming Jetta at each other and giggling when she ran into them. Fortunately Jetta's feet are almost healed and she will soon be coneless.

Yesterday we went to the Hansen Family Reunion in Lehi and today we went to Jethro's baby blessing. Fortunately I was able to go to both of them even though I'm on call this weekend. Happy about that!
