The Schmitt's and Fathers day

Spence hanging out during Church at home



We were blessed to be able to do a zoom call with my cousins the Schmitts. I used to spend time with them a lot so I have been wanting to rebuild that relationship. We did Quiplash with them and fibbage with the DeGooyers afterwords. If you are not familiar with those they are Jackbox games done over the phone. If you have someone you want to stay in contact with and play games I would highly suggest trying this because you get to talk with each other and have fun through a game as well.
We also did Just Dance with the DeGooyers. They did the song 'something stupid' on their own and we all did 'This is Halloween' together.

We had dinner with the Elders. We talked about lots of things going on in the mission and in Katia's mission such as her funny videos. We also talked about a lot of things but it all related to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is cool to see how the work is progressing and adapting. They currently have two people with baptismal date and working with some people I know.

Fathers day we watched "fatherhood, our eternal destiny" and I gave a talk about the history of Fathers day and how we can learn from our Eternal Father.  For those who dont know Fathers day was inspired by mothers day and initiated in the US at a YMCA in 1910. 'The Father and the Son' came out from the first presidency of the Church in 1916.

It's been a fun week!

Hello from the Lillywhites!

When I was younger I thought that people who "fell in love" so fast where crazy. How can you know that you want to be with them after only a few weeks. It's crazy! Right? But I grew up and found that it's not that crazy. When it's right the Lord will let you know. And that's exactly what happened with Cody and I. Cody and I (Kiara) met about a year ago. We both were new freshmen to BYU-I. We dated for about a month and knew that we wanted to spend forever together. On April 17th of this year we decided to make that wish come true. We were sealed for time and all eternity in the Louisville Kentucky Temple. I'm so grateful that we did. These last 7 months have been crazy and amazing! I couldn't imagine spending forever with anyone else. Well that's a little about us! We can't wait to see what the future holds!

Here are some of the things we are thankful for: The way of kings This month the fourth book of this series came out and we started listening to it over Audible. It was introduced to me by the DeGooyer's and has become one of my favorite book series. I like the way it presents creative ideas and teaches me writing as well as good principles. Container and Packaging Everyone was blessed with a gift card for the hectic time it has been to keep up with all the orders and incoming trucks. Though it was difficult, it also gave me a chance to grow in my abilities. We also have been getting new technology to help us be more effective. This has been a big relief to me because it has made my job significantly easier and more enjoyable. The DeGooyers Although I do not like staying with them I am grateful for the chance we had to come to Kentucky to be able to take care of Spence. Not only does it mean little rent, we also get free babysitting, more family to be around, a job, and meals. We d
