This week was the start of football. Caleb goes to Sierra High School so I went with him to the game. They were playing Tracy High School. Natalie, my niece who attends there, did not come to the game. There are three freshmen from our church congregation in the band, Annie, Hayley and Jeff. The band director, Mr. Hammerstrom is also part of our congregation. The game was very entertaining, and very close. Tracy had the upper hand the first half with running blasts up the middle. Sierra were able to stop that for the most part the second half, making them go to second or third options, which sometimes worked, but they slowed them down enough to win the game 32-26.
We spent Saturday evening at barbecue at the Normans. Mark did carne asada. We took the Spanish rice and cheese. Mark’s sister, Becky, was visiting from Hawaii with her five girls.
Sunday church was our ward conference. It seemed to be especially good. Choir sang “Master the Tempest is Raging.” The Stake President and Bishop both talked. We also had Standards Night. It was on dating, going over the new “Strength in Youth” pamphlet. They said that youth should not pair off as a couple until they are out of high school, or home from a mission. That way they can date more girls. The Young Men’s President made a simile comparing going out with girls to different types of candy. You don’t know which you will like if you only have on type.
On goal from this meeting to the get the newly published “Strength of Youth” Pamphlet and go over it, maybe even use it for family home evening.
