Deep Sea Fishing - Young Men Super Activity 2009


July 25th, 2009
Our Teachers and Priests went on our Super Activity last week to Mobile, AL. We spent two days on the beach and then toured the USS Alabama battleship. We spent the night on the ship in their bunks and played sardines at night on the ship. A little spooky for some of us :) The last day we went deep sea fishing in the gulf of Mexico. We went about 20 miles out and had a great time. No, they are not showing all the fish we caught. We caught about 70 total. We had 24 young men and 7 adults. Sunburned, tired and glad to be home.

MTC has received another 'Ammon'

The next event in a series of monumental changes in our family during the month of June. Tanner entered the MTC on June 24th to serve his two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He will spend 3 weeks in the Provo MTC and then on July 14th he flies to Everett, Washington. It is beautiful country and everything about it matches Tanner's personality. We have already received a couple of letters and an email. He is doing great and loves the work. We are so pleased and grateful for Tanner and how well prepared he is for this mission.
