"Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom".
1 Kings 10:8
Sorry for the delay in blog posts...we've been busy :)
We had the opportunity to travel to Sacramento recently to celebrate the birth of grand daughter, Lily Echo Bacchus, and the Aaronic Priesthood ordination of grandson, Mason Scott Gibson.
A proud Grandpa and Grandma. It really doesn't get much better than this!
Welcome Lily Echo Bacchus
The Saturday we were in California Grandpa took the crew to Apple Hill for apple donuts while Grandma stayed behind with daughter, Tracy, to help give Lily her first bath.
Thomas and William buried Grandpa underneath every pillow that they could find. Fortunately he escaped unharmed and they had to help wash the truck.
On Sunday, February 5, 2017 Mason Scott Gibson received the Aaronic Priesthood and was ordained a Deacon by his Grandpa Busath.
Grandpa Busath, Mason, Grandpa Ray Chance and Dad, Joshua Chance.

When we returned we had three missionary homes to close
and two sets of missionaries to relocate.
Thank goodness for these Elders who are always willing and able to lend a hand!
The Elders in Wendell found a new home!

On the road again...
Last Friday, we stopped to drop off furniture in Wendell, fixed a dryer in Burley, and then purchased essentials for the Wendell Elders new home. The next day we moved the Raft River Elders to Malta, the Malta Elders to Albion and stopped by Wendell to drop off their essentials.
What is it about "have your stuff packed and the place clean before we arrive"
that they don't seem to understand?
On Monday we moved the Wendell Elders, thanks to these Super Heroes.
A new home for the Sister Missionaries in Meridian and a load to take to Deseret Industries that we had accumulated from all of our moves.
It's been another crazy week at the Mission and we don't see it slowing down anytime soon. Transfers are March 1st and housing still has to be found and missionaries moved.
A special shout out and Congratulations to Patrick, my nephew,
his beautiful wife and their two sweet little daughter's!
Word on the grapevine was that he and his wife were recently married and my daughter, Tracy, discovered it on Facebook.
"We all know people who seem to"roll with the punches", who are pleasant and cheerful through almost any challenge. Generally these are the people with who we like to spend our time, for they make us feel better about circumstances and about our selves. It seems that good things gravitate to them, for they don't let less than ideal circumstances stand in their way. They choose to find joy everywhere and to leave it behind them when they go."
Thomas S. Monson
Our goal is to become one of "those roll with the punches people".
To choose to be happy, to find joy, and not let the small stuff get us down.
It's a choice and we know can do hard things!
Make it a great week!
