Uncle Albert & Aunt Thelma

I was great to here from Uncle Albert. Albert is our dad's younger brother. Certainly appreciate sharing several photos with us. Recently he sent some old photos of the Alexanders. You can see these on my nieces blog.

I contacted Albert because I was doing some research for a talk I was giving in church and wanted to know how many missionaries our family had sent out since Grandpa's conversion.

I learned that he & Thelma had sent 2 missionaries out to the mission field. Albert Jr went to California Anaheim (Spanish). And John went to Bolivia La Paz mission.

Uncle Albert & Aunt Thelma are pictured with their new grandson.

About 3 years ago as I was returning to church from inactivity I asked many family members what their favorite scripture was through email to help me progress. Uncle Albert replied back with his & Thelma's favorite: Joshua 1:6,7,9

Thank you for your thoughts of sharing at a time that certainly helped me progress.

Mosiah 5:15
Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven, That ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice of him who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all.

Girls Camp, June 2008

Patti & Caylah enjoyed a week at Girls Camp. Patti gave 2 classes; one to educate young women about proper dating, and the other "making soap" workshop. Here are a few pictures from camp where they had many activities through-out the week.

We're certainly glad that we had an opportunity to send Caylah to Girls Camp. She had a lot of fun and made some lots of new friends.
