A new road taken in the Killpack journey

Oil Pastel of Titanic


Jewel and dad finish her research project on Titanic.







Saturday, Jewel still has the sniffles. At 3:00 pm Dakota gets to play basketball with the YM. As he will miss next week's game (he will begin training with a running club with other teens in Franklin) this may have been his last game of 2008. Saturday night we stay in (didn't go to the Missionary farewell) as we all went to bed early trying to stay flu & cold free.

Sunday....Daniel, John Llera and Pablo Smith are sustained as the new Bishopric for the East Brunswick ward. It is quite strange around here to hear people call and ask to speak to 'Bishop Killpack'. Patricia hopes she gets use to it faster than when she had to get use to hearing her new married name of Mrs. Killpack. (that took about two years). Daniel is ready to begin and is very excited to serve with his two wonderful counselors.

Patricia is saying hello to her new friend 'Charlie'...as in 'Charlie Horse'. Her left hamstring is twitching and is very tight from the running/walking training. She had to stretch before church to avoid a painful cramp that could have occured in Sacrament. That would not have been a pretty sight..She has had these before in her past dance life, but usually when the muscles have been way overworked. Not the case here, so the muscles are just getting older =)

gratitude thought: For Daniel and for who & what he is...I am grateful that he asked me to marry him, grateful that I had enough sense to say yes!

news: Lucille Jackson (my aunt) is not doing well in SC. Plans are to place her in a nursing home for better care. Her strength needs to be built up. Our prayers are with her and Linda and Louise her daughters .(my first cousins)

Lewis Jones is home from the hospital. He did have pnemonia and is home recovering and resting. Get well Lewis. (My brother in law)

Patricia, thanks for your example. I loved how you asked president Stokes how you could best support "the bishop" = of al the questions you could have asked, that one was a tone-setter for the rest of the term of service.
PS Hope Charlie is a short term visitor.
