ALright we have not had internet (or a phone) for a while so we have not been able to post. Therefore here are a few missed posts from the past month.
Post 1: December 16, 2008: Grantsville is beautiful and peaceful and it doesn't snow much out here, but the WIND BLOWS (it actually sucks because it blows so hard). I went to Las Vegas for a conference on Sunday, December 14, 2008 and wasn't able to talk to my wife for two days because we have satellite phone. The wind blew so hard that it was not functioning. My beautiful wife had enough and does what she always does when she gets extremelly frusturated. She fixes it. She cancelled our existing phone and internet service and we are still waiting on QWEST to hook up our new phone service. In other words we have no phone! Paul Van Dyke was verry gracious in helping us rewire the phone in our house and loaning us his cell phone so Rayma could communicate with me in Las Vegas! As of this post we are still without a phone and Rayma no longer has a cell phone, so it will be a quiet christmas!
Post 2: December 11, 2008: Blake Celebrated his seventh birthday. We are very grateful for him and his engergetic personality. He has also grown into a big helper and really enjoys school and has turned out to be great reader.
Post 3: December 10, 2008: Caleb had surgery today on his herrnia. It turned out to be two herrnia's and he had water collecting around his testicals. So he actually had four procedures done. He was under the anesthia longer then we wanted, but everything turned out well. I am gratefull for the priesthood. We were very nervous about the surgery prior to the surgery and I had the opportunity to give Caleb a blessing the night before and the spirit was strong and confirmed he would be okay.
