Speaking in Church and General Conference

Sunday March 19th, Logan was asked to speak in church for his very first time.  He spoke about how reading the Book of Mormon increases our faith.  He did a very good job.  He wrote most of his talk on his own, with just a bit of help from Jill.  He did great with his delivery, too.  It was a terrific Sunday for our family because Jill got to be one of the other speakers.  She nailed it, speaking about how reading the words of apostles and prophets increases our faith.  Jill really enjoyed speaking with Logan.  She said that trying to downplay her own nervousness, to show Logan that speaking wasn't so bad, actually helped her!  Both did an excellent job and were complimented by many members of our ward. 

We keep getting more and more rain this Spring.  Landon had a football practice in the rain and he came home drenched!

Logan had a scout campout on March 31st, but because of the rain and some other factors, it turned into a "late night" instead of a campout.  I went along to help supervise and the boys had a lot of fun.  They worked on the Oceanography merit badge so we went to the Living Planet Aquarium.  The original plan was to camp up in the Ogden area and go to the aquarium there, but we settled on the Draper aquarium instead.  As we looked at the exhibits, I had to first prompt Logan, but then he finally asked some of the employees the questions he needed for the merit badge.  Some of the employees were really great and gave the boys pretty detailed answers.  One worker looked kind of like Napoleon Dynamite and gave passionate answers to what causes waves and how are they measured.

I didn't take too many pictures, but the boys all had fun. Mylee Yeager came along with her dad, the scout master.  She is a lot of fun and likes to tag along with the Boy Scouts.

The next day was April and General Conference.  Logan is now 12 years old so he got to go to his first Priesthood session of Conference.  He is a really good sport and enjoyed coming.  First, we went to the Bunkall's for dinner and a bit of visiting.  I like the generation picture with Grandpa Mel Bunkall, Grandpa Corwin Bunkall, father, and son.

Then we drove over to the church I attended as a boy and met up with my dad.  Brandon Gren came along too, but since he took the picture he couldn't be in the picture.

After the session we went back to the Bunkall's and had some dessert.  It was a very nice night seeing this son of mine grow up.

Sunday morning we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bryant's where we ate an amazing breakfast and watched the morning session of Conference.

After the morning session we walked over to Arcadia Elementary and played on the playground.  The Jake Bryant family is headed to Spain this next week so we are excited for them. We heard about their itinerary and can't wait to hear them report back on their exciting adventures.

Here is a random picture of Logan's teeth coming in on top of the baby tooth.  Braces may be in his future.
