Baptism!

Stockton did have a baptism on Saturday! I think this is the first baptism in this area in over two years A 17 year old girl named Victoria got baptized. Only ten people were allowed to come because of social distancing. But, they were able to live stream the baptism and something like 150 people tuned in to watch! Victoria had been going to seminary and a lot of her seminary class watched. Her Grandma who lives in California watched. She is not a member. She called Victoria's parents and told them she felt the spirit so strong during the baptism that she would like a Book of Mormon and to meet with the missionaries. The mom called up Stockton and said this needs to happen ASAP! Haha. The mom didn't want to risk her changing her mind. Stockton figured out what mission she was in and called the mission office. They got a recording that said they would be back in the office on Monday at 10. Stockton didn't like that. He did some more digging and found a phone number for the ward she lives in. Stockton thought he was calling the bishop, but the missionaries answered! Stockton was super happy to give them a referral and they were equally happy to receive it.

Maysen and I ventured out and went to Harmons. There is a post office there. She was able to mail her final project to her teacher. One week early and she is done with that class. So close to finishing!

Jorja worked today. We talked for a long time after work. Until about one in the morning. It went really well. Hopefully things will be better from now on. I love her so much.

Zip Lining

We are in Victoria Canada today! We went zip lining and had the best time. Mike bought this excursion before we left, but they only had space for five. I knew I might get left out. A few days ago I went to the excursion desk and asked to be put on a waiting list. They had one spot left on our group. Yay! Yay! Yay! I am so glad because this was so much fun!

Our guides were great. They taught us fun tricks and made us feel very safe. Mike is super afraid of heights and he had no problem doing this. Jorja had a blast. She is also afraid of heights. This was so much fun!!!!! They get to go zip lining all day, for a job. Wow.

On our last line there is a bird house towards the end. The bird house takes your picture. Preston's turned out the best. We bought his. Here is a video of him posing for the bird house.

I love my family. Today was such a fun day. I loved watching my kids walk together. I love how they get along so well. I am going to miss this. It hurts my heart to think how much I'm going to miss this. I hope they always make a huge effort to stay close as they grow older. They are the best friends. I hope they will be this close in fifty years.

Well, that will be pretty much a wrap for this cruise. We have most of our bags packed and put them in the hallway. They are gone now. Hopefully we will be reunited with them tomorrow!
