Dog Days of Summer.

Elder Blotter

I hope that this P-day finds you in top form.  I'm sure that BC is beautiful this time of year.  I hope that the work of saving souls in Kitimat is going smoothly and that you are able to find people to teach.  I'm sure that you now understand better our father and son discussions about the fact that there is no 'missionary work.'  There is not body of work out there waiting to be completed.  'Missionary Work' is created by the missionary.  If all you had to do was go for 2 years a complete a full schedule of teaching, and baptising, missions would be a piece of cake.  Filling the day with productive pursuits that would make our Father in Heaven proud,  is what missionary work is.  And it is hard, probably particularly hard in Kitimat.  But I do know this, a multitude of blessings await the faithful servant. 

Well, Jacob Blotter is back in town.  Still haven't seen him though, hopefully tomorrow.  He is coming to help hay at the ranch this week. He was always a bit distant and maybe shy.  Be glad for the mother that you have.  As you have reached the ripe old age that you have, I'm sure that you can know realize how lucky you are to have the mother that you have.  There is almost no greater blessing than a great mom.  They form the very essence of a person's being. 

Well, we spent 3 days in Park City.  What a wild ride these soccer tournaments are.  Jenessa's teams were never really good.  Jenessa and a few others were good players for sure.  Ness started almost every game her senior year for SV which is in and of itself and accomplishment.  Team wise, though, they were nothing like Jacey's teams.  Jacey's team is one of the best teams in the state in that age group, and they win.  It is kind of fun but pretty intense. 

Jed has started football, and tomorrow is his first day of full pads.  Finally Jed gets to tackle other people's kids......legally.  :)

Ness is still in Ohio with the Dubonovich clan doing who knows what. 

I am trying to ride the bike like crazy in between everything else.  Work is still busy, which is good.  The clinic has grown, and the allergy clinic has done really well.  Medicine is still a pretty good gig, and I enjoy it most days.  Grandma and Grandpa are doing well and Grandpa is keeping busy at the ranch.  It is the haying season, which is a busy time.  Grandma and Grandpa Jorgy are muddling along the best they can. 

Well, here is hoping for a banner week in Kitimat! 

Love
