Where Have You Been?

Here's two odd experiences I had this week,  For years Dad and I rarely miss attending church in our ward.  Since Dad has been released as bishop, we teach Seminary and neither of us has a Sunday calling, so we've been more likely to visit family from time to time.  We traveled to Utah in November for Grandpa Sweet's 80th Birthday Celebration, and we've been gone the past two weeks spending Christmas with Amy and Trevor in Provo and New Years with Grandma and Grandpa Boe in Oregon. 

So here's my first story; On Saturday Dad and I went on our date to the Temple, halfway there I realized I didn't have my recommend, we decided not to turn back but to proceed forward, hoping I could still serve.  As we walked into the foyer of the Temple I spotted a Temple worker from our ward.   I knew she couldn't vouch for me but I was happy to see her and still hoped she could validate me.   I called to her and said "Hi"  and she responded, "I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?" .... Oh dear, that didn't go as I had planned!

And so again the next day In Relief Society,  I was asked to give the closing prayer.   I noticed our RS President wasn't sitting up front, only her first and second councilors and our activity leader.   So in offering the closing prayer I especially remembered to pray for our Relief Society president where ever she was and for her family.  After we dismissed, one of the sisters sitting up front mentioned to me that we have a new RS presidency!  What?  They were all up front I just hadn't gotten the memo!  So I said, "You shouldn't call inactive people to say the prayer".  Haha, we hardly miss meetings in our ward but when we do big things happen!

Christmas 2015 Grandpa Sweet and Toby have been here visiting for Christmas and the New Year!  Grandpa has been busy helping his Brother Uncle Jack and Aunt ChaCha move from Ojai to Lancaster.   He drove his trailer  down from Beaver Utah with a car he delivered in Oxnard to Allen.   Grandpa helped us reorganize our bedrooms when we bought a new Ca King bed and moved our queen beds into Savannah's room.   Getting ready to Skype Savannah with Landon who is on his way to  Paraguay from LAX  traveling part of Christmas Eve and on Christmas day Landon left Lax about 2:20pm we arrived about three hours early for an international flight, Savannah and I asked for and where given gate passes to Landon's gate.  Landon's plane left on time and landed in Atlanta about five or so hours later, he had an 1 1/2 hour lay over then traveled to Brazil.  There he had about a 4 hour layover.  but instead of being in the middle of the night it was now 5:00 in the morning

Amy and Trevor's for Easter! Easter with Amy and Trevor 2015 From Left to Right Trevor, Savannah, Bob, Amy, Tamara, J. Landon. We had a great visit with Amy and Trevor I’m at Aunt Lisa’s helping her recover from her surgery.     She has limited use of her arms and will need to have therapy to regain full use of them again.    She’s doing well otherwise.    I’ve been here since Monday and will probably be here part of another week. I think Tiko and Alejandra will be coming back to Oxnard on Monday.    They’ve been in Utah visiting a former bishop from Paraguay.    Landon starts BYUI in September.     Savannah and the Choir did well in Seattle .     Every one won Gold One except the Chamber Choir won Second Gold.   They also won Sweepstakes and other awards!   The Bus Company forgot to pick up Savannah’s group so she waited longer for her bus to bring them home from the airport.   Instead of getting home at 9:30 it was 11:30.   By the time we got her home and in
