Visiting The Hep House

Marge, Jenni and I arrived at the Hep House early Saturday morning. We have had a very nice week-end the Hepworth family. Bill and Mike are now about the same size and always competitive. Brit is a great compliment to her older brothers. Dan is a bit over 3 going on 15. He thinks of himself as like his older brothers and wants to do everything they do.

On Saturday the Bainbridge Island Ward (Bishop Hepworth) took their youth (about 30) to the Seattle Temple to do baptisms for the dead. Some of Marge's Italian ancesters were baptised and confirmed. Apparently they had a wonderful experience. I think all of the youth of the Ward are active. Quite an accomplishment.

Today was Sunday and we all went to the Ward. Good meetings.

Cathi just brought some chocolate chip cookies out of the oven for Marge and I. Yum Yum. It's late and Bill and Mike are busy with last-minute homework. Brit is practicing the piano which she does hours a day. Dan is still up and begging to watch "Indiana Jones Lego Videos". Marge and I are getting tired.

I jumped on the trampoline with Dan, Mike and Jenni. You know what? I actually had to relearn how to jump.

We are likely to spend a couple of days with Ken and Catherine Groscost this week.

Catherine's brother Nick Smith is facing surgery on his cancerous liver. Not a good thing. Remember him in your prayers.

Will write later and post photos.
