Mission Call and othe stuff

This last week we finally got our "call" letter from the Salt Lake Inner City Project. The letter pretty much confirmed what we already knew and included some suggestions for being successful missionaries. However, the letter stated that our application forms had been sent to the Church Service Missionary Office for processing and that shortly our Stake President would be notified that the call had been approved. At that point, our Bishop can be assigned to set us apart. So we're still a bit up in the air as to when this will happen. It is supposed to be before we go for our training, which begins next Saturday, Feb. 7th.

We FINALLY finished the quilt. It is beautiful and Cynthia took a few pictures. Unfortunately at this time, the only working camera we seen to have in the family is her 35mm, so cannot easily download a picture of the finished project. The owner and her husband were both home when we delivered it and Max says they were both very impressed by the workmanship. She plans to enter it in the Delta Quilt show,with Max's name as "quilted by". We hope to know when that quilt show is and see if we can go. Won't be sure of that type of restriction until we go to our missionary training.

Curt and Melanie took Breanna to check out CEU in Price Thursday and Friday. Haven't talked directly to Bre yet, but Curt says that she is thinking seriously about CEU, but also wants to go to SUU in Cedar. A lot will depend on financing I thing. We had the other kids Thurs nite. All went well until about 2:45 am Fri when Cynth and Kami came upstairs to tell us that Logan was crying for her mom. She wouldn't come up to us until Dad went down to get her. She snuggled in bed with us for about 30 min; stopped crying; but continued to fidget. Finally told us she needed Kami, so I took her back downstairs and she crawled back into bed between Kami and Hailey. Kami woke up enough I could tell her that Logan needed her, so she rolled over and put her arm around her and apparently they went back to sleep. At breakfast, all seemed well, but before it was time to go to school, Kami complained to her mom on the phone that she had a tummy ache. Melly says this has been a daily occurance and prob. is related to her ENT appt next week to talk about a tonsillectomy. I woke up with still some headache, so i fell asleep while the girls watched pre=school time cartoons. I gues Logan felt abandoned--I was asleep upstairs and Grandpa was finishing the quilting. By the time i woke up an hour or so later, she was very down and lonesome for her mommie. She was pretty droop all morning, didn't even want to play on the toy stuff at Carls Jr when we went for lunch. She ate good tho, and seemed a bit perkier. But when we got home and heard a message that Kami called an hr earlier to be picked up from school, she was much better. Grandpa picked up Kami and when they got together at home, both perked up considerably. Mel, Curt and Bre got home about 7 and all were happy to be together, except Emily who was still a bit cross from having to wake up when they got there.

Dad, I think, is downstairs putting on a baby quilt that we will do for a friend of Kathy's who is having another baby (one of those surprise! ones). This is should go quickly--we hope to have it done by next weekend--probably have a better chance of doing so if I go down and help. Love to all.
