Great week!

Well, a lot is going on this week. First of all, Cameron got a paid internship at the Pleasant Grove Fire Station, much to our surprise. He is not that interested in a career in that area, but says it is a lot of fun and he is having a good time. They also pay better than other jobs he applied for, so that's good.

After months of delays (tree too green, rain, etc., etc.) we finally had our annual tree burning event. Every year after Christmas, we let our tree dry out and sent it up in flames. Yes, we are a family of pyros, and we are proud of it. This year Brandon snagged a couple of extra trees off the tree lawns, and we made a night of it with the YW group present. No sentient being was harmed. There was a strange dance that took place around the burning trees that I hope the neighbors did not notice. If they did notice, I hope they don't know it was a Mormon group. Still, it was much more appropriate than some wiccan events I have heard of.

Finally, and most wonderfully, our young friends Eric (11) and Winter (12) Werner were baptized today. They are great kids, and have made a lot of progress. I have been the home teacher of their grandparents off and on for years, and the time was finally right. The sister missionaries (Nelson and Allan) have been great, and the kids learned a lot. I am looking forward to seeing them blossom in the gospel. Pictures forthcoming.
