Serving Others

Well, this Thursday and Friday was Fall break from School, used to be called UEA.  So we went and saw the movie Lego Ninjago.  It was hilarious.  We all laughed so hard, especially David and Ben.  It will need to be one of the first movies Sophie sees when she gets home.  We'll start a list today.  Saturday morning we helped out with the World Sr. Games for the Triathlon.  It was easy peasy, but they needed us so bad for traffic control.  We were all spread out on the street that leads to Jared's house.  Every person in their own intersection trying to make sure that the athletes didn't get run over when they were going by on their bikes.  It was really fun.  Until we needed to use the bathroom.  We were right by a church but it was locked up tight.  Luckily there was a break and JoEllen ran us to Ira's house.  Ira has a HUGE bison head and gazelle head in his house.  I took a picture to show Joel.  
 See how fancy we all are in our yellow volunteer shirts, like Sophie, and our NEON yellow traffic vests.  They could see us from a mile away.

 There were only 2 people we knew racing that morning.  Kay, one of Josh's morning swimmers and Kevin Lewis.  He does everything.  Swims, bikes, runs and is even on a basketball team for the games this year. He is one of our all time favorite people.  His son Shandon just got back from his mission in Oregon and spoke in our ward this today.  Shandon lost a bunch of weight and is happy and more of a spiritual giant than before.  He is amazing!  One more week of the Sr. Games.  I'm sure we'll go around and see where else they need some help and watch some fun competition.  It's so great to see everyone so active and healthy.  Taking good care of the body that the Lord gave them.
