Sis. Sarah Hinck flew off to England this past Wednesday. She arrived safely and we even got a short e-mail from her telling us that the grass is emerald green and there is a lot of sheep. (My mom commented, "well that is good literally and figuratively," We are grateful for the opportunity to have a missionary in the family.
Spencer turned 15 years old on the day Sarah left. In the evening he celebrated by playing church basketball and was happy to make 16 points.
Matthew and Spencer dug a snow cave in the snowbank between our driveway and the neighbor's driveway . It is quite big and possibly a couple of young men could sleep in it.
It was so great having Camille and Kirsten home for a few days. We loved visiting with them. Camille was able to go through the temple last Saturday and receive her endowment. It was wonderful to have Sarah present for this special day.
We are finally at the point of having carpet installed in our basement this Thursday. Everyone is excited to be able to resume basement use.
It has been pretty pleasant weather. We received a few inches of snow this week which made for a beautiful winter scene in Rexburg.
This is picture of our kitchen wall. The clock is set to the time in Great Britain so that we can know what Sarah is doing with just a glance. The map is of Great Britain. It will be fun to follow her travels. The illustrated girl is called "flat Sarah". Sarah and Matthew drew her before she left. We are to take her on our activities and include her in our pictures
.
We have a happy spirit in our home as we think of Sarah fulfilling her desire to serve a mission.
