Last Saturday was a bit of a whirlwind. Besides popping back and forth to various sessions of RootsTech, the missionary who baptized me, Rich Sheen, stopped by for a quick visit, along with his son, Jordan, and two grandsons. Rich flew in from Texas, so he could be here to help ordain one of the grandsons, who just turned 12. They didn't stay long, but it was great to visit with them.
Then, that evening, our Cary, NC friends, Bob and Phyllis Bray stopped by and we enjoyed a meal and a visit at our place. (The Brays were in town for RootsTech.)
My newfound cousins, Vicki and Debbi, stayed in town for a couple of days after RootsTech and went to church with us on Sunday.
It was also great to see my friend, Mary Cooper and her husband here on Sunday! They completed their MTC training and moved in last weekend. It's extra special to have someone I used to serve in the temple with now serving in our mission!!
Bob had cataract surgery on his right eye Tuesday, and everything went really well. He was back in the office the next afternoon. He has another follow-up appointment next week and perhaps will get an idea of how long he needs to wait until they can do the other eye. Each person is different, and because he had a radial keratotomy (sp?) years and years ago, those incisions in his eyes will affect how the healing goes after this surgery.
Last night we went to a performance of BYU dancers called Living Legends. It was fabulous! And, the costumes were AMAZING!! If you ever get a chance to see them perform, go! The whole evening was very high energy — with performances representing dances from various cultures (mostly Native American, Latin American and Polynesian)
Someone asked me the other day how much longer our mission is, and it was a bit of a surprise to hear myself say, “Four-and-a-half months.” That doesn’t seem long at all! Now, I just need to keep myself from getting too trunky!
