"Constant vigilance is required to counteract complacency and casualness."

I forgot a major thing that happened yesterday. Sheri went running yesterday morning and asked Ben to call around 8 a.m., which he did. It was a Skype call so we got to see him and talk to him. He is so happy that he wasn't called as the A.P. He is staying in Ammon but his companion is being transferred. Sheri spoke to his companion and asked him how he felt about not being Elder Trezise's companion anymore. He said that he "cussed up a storm" when he heard.

Sheri talked to "Elder Trezise", he doesn't want us to call him Ben, probably for almost an hour. It was great to see him and hear him talk about his mission and the people he is teaching. Here is his letter and Sheri's letter to him:

James, Ian, Alex, and Max went fishing at Silver Creek this morning.

Here are the results:

Ian was the only one who didn't catch fish. I guess he's a little out of practice.

Back at home Sheri, Evan, Joshua, and I decided we wanted to go somewhere. Evan suggested Greer and I suggested Woodland Lake. We ended up going to Woodland Lake. I made waffles for Evan and Joshua and they sat down to watch Sponge Bob and Evan ended up taking a nap before we left for our adventure.

When we got to the lake I had hoped we would be able to walk completely around on the path. Last time we came I was with James, Max, Evan, Rowan, and Joshua and James wanted to leave after I just got started.

This time the same thing happened. We had just started walking when Sheri began receiving texts from Ian, Alex, and Max wanting to know what was for lunch and was she going to bring them something to eat. Immediately Sheri wanted to leave. I guess I will have to come another time to make it around the lake.

Evan relaxing at the lake.

On the way home we stopped at: Burger King, Subway, and McDonald's to get lunch for the Trezise guys and Joshua. James was home frying tilapia and sharing it with whoever wanted some.

When we got home Sheri started on her third puzzle. I went into the bedroom to rest and watch part of a movie. When it came time to cook dinner we had steak, veggies, and rolls. Afterwards James made a fire in the firepit and those who wanted to made smores. Max sang and played the guitar for our entertainment.
