Summer Has Come!!

What a fun week we've had with concerts in the Brigham Young Park on Tuesday and Friday night.

One Clear Voice

Tuesday was a women's group called One Clear Voice, who have received a Pearl Award. (Just Google Pearl Award if you want to know what that means.) Friday was a variety program of contemporary songs to timeless classics performed by Lorisa Pulotu.

Los Hermanos de los Andes

Sandwiched between those two concerts, we attended a packed concert on Thursday night at the Family History Museum performed by Los Hermanos de los Andes. These guys were terrific!! They will be performing in the tabernacle December 5 and 6 so you still have the opportunity to listen/see them if you missed the concert on Thursday.

We really do take care of our assigned missionary responsibilities, but we try to take advantage of any events that take place in and around Temple Square and so far we haven't been disappointed with the programs we've attended.  The Tabernacle Choir has been on tour so there was no live broadcast last Sunday so we are looking forward to them returning this week.  The Broadcast for the rest of the summer will be held in the Conference Center instead of the Tabernacle because the crowds are so large with the summer traffic that they won't fit in the Tabernacle. We're actually looking forward to the more comfortable seats.

Johns, Fullers, Sessions

Speaking of missionary work, we completed the Journeyman and got our final certificate. The picture you see here is with the 2nd Counselor in the Mission Presidency. To our left are President and Sister Sessions who are being released in July and on our right are President and Sister Johns who will be their replacement. It is exciting for us to know that we have successfully completed the expected "bookwork" for our responsibilities.


Our children Julie and Courtney Fischbeck, along with our three grandchildren, Lainee, Laetner, and Waverly came to visit from Arizona.  I'll post more pictures next week when I have more time.
