A FEW UPDATES!!

Hi Everyone,
Just a few updates during our end of summer rush (As if you weren't busy enough already! ;) 

First of all, I got a call about the PEACHES today--they will be at Pete Horlachers around 3:00 on Wednesday afternoon, the 1st-until sometime that evening, and they would appreciate it if you could pay with cash, but sounds like they will still take a check if they have to.

Second, if you didn't hear, Anna and Eric Chouquer had a baby girl over the weekend-- Carli Jean.  Both mom and baby are well.  We also had another surprise delivery for Celeste and James Neighbor, their baby Mykell came about a month early and we are still waiting to hear more. UPDATE:  Baby Mykell has been on feeding tubes and oxygen for a couple of days, but other than that is doing well--they are trying to start feeding her without the tubes today to see how that goes, and if it works they might be home by Thursday at the earliest--we will wait and see, and keep them in our prayers that she keeps on progressing and they are home soon!!
Also, Sister Deb Umina is waiting for back surgery and the doctors have told her to just keep her bags packed and be ready when they are--please keep her in your thoughts and prayers so that she can get this done and overwith and hopefully back on her feet soon!!

Third;  We do have a couple of new sisters in the ward if you have the chance to meet them and say HI!  Ken Hinckley's mom has moved in with them and while she isn't able to get out a whole lot, if you had a chance to drop by and meet her, they said she would love to meet people and make some friends here (I apologize that i didn't get her name from him, but I will soon)!!  Also, Stephanie Dojaquez and her mom, Judy, have moved into the house that Riley and Adam Longman moved out of, so Stephanie is also a new member of our Relief Society and we would like to welcome her.

FINALLY:  There are MORE changes in visiting teaching for September--I have to apologize if they come as a surprise or if anyone has any questions about the changes, I keep thinking that we will get it set for a few months at least--but, it doesn't seem to want to work that way--someone moves in or out, and we want to make sure we are all being visited and cared for!  IF you have any questions or concerns about your routes, PLEASE feel free to talk to me about them, send me an email, whatever works best for you--as much as I would like to visit with each of you about it, I can't, but at the same time if there are any that have concerns, I don't want to miss them either. 

I want to do whatever I can to serve and help you, at this time we are going every other weekend to visit my mother-in-law in Utah because we honestly don't know how much time we have left to do so.  The rest of the time I am home, and while I am usually catching up on laundry or dishes, or kids homework, the dishes and the laundry will always be there for me to come back to, but helping you or anyone else may not wait!  I also have a pretty amazing presidency who are always willing to step up and help out--we love you and want to serve you when you need us!  We are excited to be planning some great meetings and activites with our Coordinator, Sister Rochelle Phillips, and hope to be getting going with them soon, so that we are once again having regular opportunities to learn, grow, visit and strengthen each other outside of our Sunday meetings!
