Sunday was a great day at church. The speakers: Julianne Scott, Emily Walsh & Russ Weir were so GREAT!!!! Inspiring talks!!
Yesterday we also had a change Primary. I was called as Primary President and I am SO BLESSED to have Pat Carey as my 1st counselor and Becky Lamb as 2nd counselor. It's been about 10-12 years since I've served in Primary so I'm definitely excited and a little nervous.
I have LOVED being back in Primary. The kids are so sweet and fun to be with!! Love them tons!!!
Lots of prayers in preparing and organizing our presidency.. Thankful to work with AMAZING people who I love so much!

July 29, 2013~Summer's Flyin'
It's hard to believe that school starts for us next week!!! Crazy stuff! Where does the time go!?!?!
It's been a busy summer. In June, Jaycee had a week at girls camp. Last week Jaycee went to EFY (Especially For Youth)in St Pete. She had a good time.
Thursday through Saturday of this week, she has Youth Conference, then Sunday church, Monday she'll be doing 'Tarpon Leadership', helping all the new Freshmen coming into Charlotte High with orientation etc. Tuesday school starts back. And just like that, summer is OVER.
Jaycee is a JUNIOR this year!!! Crazy to think she'll be graduated in less than two years! UUUGHHH!! She's ready to get her Driver's License...Hopefully soon!
Greg is working hard as usual with work, scouts and YM Pres. I don't know how he does it all! He works hard!
I'm still working with the school district...crazy busy right now with school starting next week. I do miss having summer's off, but I do like my job, so that's good. I recently got released from YW's and am now serving as 1st Counselor in Primary. I forgot how much I love Primary! The kids are so sweet and fun! Love it!! It's been a good thing for me.
Jordan is doing great!! She LOVES Sacramento! She'll find out in two weeks if her visa came or not. If not, she's happy to stay where she's at. She's really enjoying the ward, people and area she's in. She's keeping busy and loving the work.
We are so blessed! Here's a few new pictures we got today.

July 9, 2013~Meanwhile...at the Sacramento California Mission Office...
Gosh, there's so much to catch up on...and yet I'm behind, again! July 2, 2013, Jordan left "The Empty Seaaaa" and was reassigned to the Sacramento California Mission. She's still waiting for her visa so she can go to Brazil, but in the meantime she's excited to serve in California.
I got to talk to her on Tuesday, while she was at the airport. She sounds SO happy and wonderful! Her companion is Sister Hale, she's from Abeline, Texas. She loves her already.
Today we received a letter from her Mission President in Sacramento. Pres Benson Lewis & his wife Sis Lewis. They will be her adoptive parents for the next little while. She loves them already! SO glad.
It's been an amazing almost two months already having Jordan on a mission. So so blessed. When you get a chance, you've got to read her post she emailed to her blog~ http://morrillonamission.blogspot.com/ It's pretty inspiring...
Jaycee is getting ready to go to EFY (Especially For Youth), next week in St Petersburg. SO again, it will be a very quite week at the Morrill's house. Jaycee's working on getting her Driver's License soon...so it maybe even more quite here. Don't like it too quite...so WEIRD!
Greg & I are busy working. Greg's serving as Young Men's President at church and I was recently called to Primary. Love it!
All is well in Florida.

Got a belated birthday gift from Jordan yesterday. Sooooo AWESOME!! Yesterday I got to hear her sing with the MTC Choir, today I get a mini 'Hinos' with my name on it.
I love her notes that she has written throughout the book. Really meant a lot for her to remember me with all she has going on. Sweet girl! LOVE being a Mom of a missionary!
