This week Alayna had her Young Women in Excellence. She did a beautiful job sharing how much she loves her patriarchal blessing and her experience getting one. She also wrote out her testimony. She has grown up so much!
This week we had our annual Anamosa Veterans Day celebration. It’s a huge deal for the whole city. All the veterans come for the assembly and then are honored in a special luncheon. It was a great program with an Anamosa veteran’s family being presented with the medals he earned and never received. I always cry when the flag is brought in by veterans and then the veterans each salute it as it goes by. I’m grateful for parents who taught me what freedom really is, who has sacrificed for that freedom, and a deep respect for all military personnel.
It was also SO cool to get to see the Chinook land at our middle school and see it up close. Reminded me so much of my dad!
Our high school students made a video about not texting while driving for a contest and we made the finals. All week we were voting and getting everyone in the city to vote. We find out after Thanksgiving if we won the $100,000! (We dressed up as Jake from State Farm (the sponsors of the contest) one day for the press and yes I am in the pictures!
Our Ponderizing…please keep us in your prayers. 2 great possible job opportunities for me next year will be posting soon and I will need divine help to get them if its right for me.
