Backs are Back

Church was a little crazy today. The Back's had their homecoming. President Back was the mission president of a mission in Sydney Australia. We got there early and were able to get a seat. It was crowded! All the way back to the stage and people on the stage. There were a lot of missionaries there. We had our regular spot at the front left of the chapel. That was nice. Jorja was a claustrophobic though. There were a lot of people and it made the chapel hot. We also squished into one bench and it was pretty tight. Jorja started feeling lightheaded and nauseous. She asked if she could go home after sacrament meeting. Then she started feeling worse and we decided she needed to go home after the sacrament. The sacrament took a long time and she was worried. Once they finished Mike walked her home. Jorja was embarrassed to have to walk past everyone in order to leave, but she would have been more embarrassed if she passed out or threw up. Mike said she looked awful. Mike missed Sister Back's talk but got back in time to hear President Back's. I wish Jorja would have felt better because they are both such great speakers. I have been hoping for a long time that they will call President Back to be the Young Mens President. Seth has been in there for about three years now. President Back was the Scout Master before he left to Australia. He got so many of the boys to get their Eagles before they were 14. These boys love him. Now, a lot of them are seniors in high school and will be preparing to go on their own missions. How cool would it be if President Back were to help them get prepared?

Primary was a bit chaotic. I think with all the people there it just had an air of excitement and the kids had a hard time settling down. Natalie took my phone and took a few pictures. My tiny little class is adorable.

We watched The Sixth Sense today as a family. Even though the movie moves kind of slow I think the kids liked it. Mike explained the movie to Preston while they were playing ping pong.
