Yer mother has gone to do her visiting teaching. She doesn't go visit individual sisters any more. In our ward they have visiting teaching "groups" where a gaggle of women get together to shoot the bull. Yea. Visiting teaching. I think they should do the same for the men and home teaching. Everyone can get together at the football or basketball game and do the fellowshipping that's supposed to happen. Maybe have a group meet at Home Depot and look at tools then report in. I'd sponsor a home teaching ATV ride and my home teachers could fellowship me all day. Why leave all the fun to the sisters? No longer any reason to wait until the last day of the month!

yes, I personally think that the cedar hills way of doing it is a little pointless myself. but then again, I get the visiting teaching message sent to me in the mail every month and apparently that counts as visiting teaching.

You never get VISITED? That isn't right. Actually, our "cluster" is very close. And today, we spent at least half of the time talking about things of the spirit. That is just how our group is. We all have such strong tesimonies of the gospel, that the Gospel IS our life. It is just natural to talk about what you love the most...so what my sweet imagines as happening is only 1/2 right-that being a bunch of women sitting around talking together. But the nature of our conversations would totally take him by surprise!

I think it's awesome. Wish we could do it that way.

Pointless Cambrie? Awsome Christa? I'm kind of halfway between. On one hand it's probably a better way to actually become friends, get to know each other better and visiting/home teaching doesn't become a chore you have to suffer through each month. Oh the other hand, if there are problems you want to talk about, you are less likely to bring them up in a group fun setting than in a one-on-one.

Actually, if you trust the people in your group like we trust each other, there isn't anything I wouldn't tell them, no matter how bad. Our group IS what Visiting teaching is supposed to be, true love concern, and empathy for one another.

Ah...it's becoming clear. *That's* why all those women give me the evil eye when I pass them in the hall at church.

Oh...and the question is "Do they trust YOU?"

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
