Auriana & Taylon are both working, but Taylon is enjoying a break from school. We see them most Sundays which we love!
Isaac moved home for the summer. It's great to see him more often now. He's still working at BYU every day.
Natalie arrived safely in Spain and is having a wonderful time there. It has been so fun to have her call a couple of times.
Enoch's team went to Logan for State Soccer and lost to Sky View who later become state champions. It was fun to see Brenda and Jenny & Chad there.
Miriam finished personal progress. Her final project was organizing and updating all of our emergency supplies. She worked hard hoping to finish by the end of the year ... she beat her goal by 7 months.
Ellie has 3 values left to do and is planning to finish before the end of the year as well.

Heart-stopping action in the final minutes brought the score even in Spanish Fork and sent the Dons and visiting Orem into overtime at one each. At the break, going into the overtime period, coach Shane Ferrin was vocal! “You MUST do better! We have too much at stake and we want this more than they do!” When the boys took the field he was a little less animated, but still emotional, “ These are great young men. I love them and just want them to be happy with their performance today and every game.” And happy they were when only three minutes later, Sophomore Enoch Pendleton drove hard to the frame and using his sheer size and strength, forced the ball into the goal. The celebration cleared the bench and showcased the unity these boys and coaches have with each other.

At the conclusion of 80 minutes of soccer tonight, the home-team Spanish Fork Dons celebrated their win by dumping the 10-gallons of ice water from the cooler onto head coach Shane Ferrin. “Just once, I’d like to get away without wearing the water!,” said Ferrin. But wear it he did and the smiles on their faces (including Ferrin’s) indicated that it was exactly as it should be. In a match that saw total domination by the Dons, the Spanish Fork boys put up seven goals – four of them by Senior Ryker Barton, who had one of his best matches this season. The remaining three came from solid shots by Junior, Cesar Fuentes and Sophomores, Ethan Binks and Enoch Pendleton. Pendleton nearly had another late goal, but was taken to the deck in the box. In what seemed to be an obvious penalty kick for the Dons, Pendleton was called for a foul and the free kick awarded to the Payson crew.
Enoch was named the sophomore athlete of the year. His coach described him ...
"Enoch Pendleton is a specimen. Strong, powerful, fast.
He is built like Atlas, Smart like Copernicus,
Handsome like Cary Grant, and a gentleman like Nelson Mandela."
