Today was Alec's farewell. He got to share the meeting with the Primary Sacrament Meeting program. I didn't take a picture of him, but he looked so handsome and so much like a missionary thanks to sweet Kirsten who cut his hair for him last night. His talk was short and sweet. Alec has such a happy disposition and a very touching testimony. I know he will be a wonderful missionary, very hard working and obedient. We really appreciate all the family who came to hear him speak. Afterwards, we went to Grandma's and Grandpa's house for a dinner of Cafe Rio sweet pork. That is Alec's favorite. It was so fun to visit with everyone and we especially enjoyed having Fred and Robyn spend the night with us. Fred was such a good sport and watched a movie out on the front lawn with Alec and Rich. They have a projector that puts the movie up on a big screen(a sheet stretched across the front porch). They have to bundle up in blankets and they light tiki lamps behind them. Robyn and I had a wonderful visit and she helped me prepare food for the lunch today. I really appreciated Christine helping me with the dinner. She made the rice and beans that made the dinner. I am so lucky to have such a great family.
Yesterday, I made a birthday cake for the son of my employer. It was his 18th birthday and they wanted a treasure chest, so this is what I came up with.
