19 March 2017 - Ward Conference

Monday was a trip home for Kathleen. Stephen had Sr. Kappy Baranet pick her up at the airport since he was needed at work with the construction company.
Tuesday, Samuel had a basketball game that was the finish of his game against Clark Lake due to the injury the week before. The boys couldn't get their game together for that one. Clark Lake was warmed up from playing against Crestwood so they rolled over Lake Meridian. Then LM played Crestwood and beat them. It was a loss and a win in one night.
Wednesday was a ward potluck where we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with green food. Kathleen made a green kale salad with green grapes. After the potluck, Samuel had Scouts where they went to businesses to beg for fund raiser freebies. Stephen had his usual Wednesday night stake meetings.
Thursday after Seminary, Kathleen had a New Testament class with Sr. Shauna Seamons on the book of Galatians. It was a great class. Later that afternoon, she went with Rebekah to pick up a rental car that Rebekah used to drive to Vancouver, WA where she had a conference but didn't. They had cancelled it but she went anyways. She did manage to get a massage and enjoy herself immensely.
Friday was the real  St. Patrick's Day so Kathleen cook up some beef and cabbage but they didn't eat it... Kathleen was asked to drive Julia Stroud to PBD where she is taking a dance class and since Kathleen was going to miss Michelle's Baby shower due to having to work. She called Ruth to see if she could drop off a gift for Michelle that night. Stephen decided to go with her and on their way they received a text from Ruth inviting them to dinner. Ruth always does a wonderful job and there was just the two of them so it made a nice cozy dinner of corned beef and cabbage for two couples.
Saturday, Kathleen worked at the hospital and helped with a delivery and then stayed late due to short staff. It was close but she made it in time to change quickly and ride with Stephen to the temple for ward temple night. Lake Meridian had their ward conference on Sunday and Stephen taught the Elder's and High Priest's while Pres. Morgan taught Relief Society. The subject was the Fast and Fast offering. There was a question and answer after and the sisters wanted to know about the church's stance on the Boy Scouts and if the program was going to change at all. President Morgan said that he hadn't heard anything about any changes and that he didn't think there would be any changes. Some of the sisters were concerned because their son/s didn't like scouts but they wanted their son/s to get the Duty to God. It was an interesting Q&A.
