Enoch was ordained a teacher today! He is excited and ready to take that next step in his life and Bjorn performed a very nice ordination and blessing for him.
Isaac is doing well (I hope). We heard from his mission president's wife last week, she sent some pictures and said, "We are so happy to have your son join us in the Russia Samara Mission! We picked him up at the airport Tuesday evening and have spent the past few days in orientation, dinner in the mission home, interviews, pictures, etc. He just met his new companion, Elder Poulton, and they will be serving in the city of Balakova - A city that is about a 3 hour drive from Samara." That's all we know, so we are eagerly awaiting his next letter. It was fun to see him twice and talk to him 2 more times in the airport (Salt Lake and New York). We didn't see Scott closeup, but it was great to see the two of them singing together! You can watch it over and over here (like I have.) "Be baptized to show obedience" is their star part and you can find it at minute 1:54. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X5LXUsbVFY

Natalie's soccer team made it to state this year, and from what we have heard this is the first time in all of history that Spanish Fork High School has done this as a 4A school. They have been a really fun team to watch! Enoch, Miriam, and Ellie are winding up their soccer seasons as well! I really do enjoy this season of watching the kids play and hanging out on the sidelines together, even when we have to drive all the way to Vernal for a game.
