Single Most Important Skill

We had a wonderful bishops youth discussion tonight with just the priests and laurels. I asked the seniors to consider what is the most important skill they can take with them as they venture out on their own. So the first person had two, the next seven, and the next three!  Ty had just one with several sub parts of why it relates. "Doing laundry" was his item. It was funny but remarkable how he tied in so many things that do relate physically and spiritually. I never knew until tonight how vital laundry was!

I had a fantabulous sabbath. Morning meetings were good, church was awesome, had a great lesson with the priests where we had a powerful witness from one who just returned from a mini mission, and then had wonderful interviews that totally makes a bishop pleased. 

Ty and I have made progress on the arbor over the patio. We had prepped a bunch of the boards, I showed you before the concrete pillars we poured, and then we finished by doing the total layout assembly and bolt together. Then we had Lys and Mom help us erect it and then we tied the cross beams to hold it steady until we can finish more of the rafter parts. Then trim it out and stain it. It will be great. 

My car went wacko last weekend, so I ordered parts and then this week Ty and Lys helped me take off the intake manifold, replace the knock sensor, coil packs and spark plugs, then work it all back together. For about $120 in parts we completed about a $1200 job. Quite the work. And it runs great again. The main issue was a coil pack going bad. But when one goes, the others often go soon. 

Everyone is scattering this week. I am going to Indianapolis for meetings, mom and Lys to Indiana for girls camp, and Ty to Gatlinburg for high adventure. Crazy week but everyone will have fun. 

Love you all forever,

Dad
