Skyview Ward- Renton, WA

We have been visiting my son Russell and his family in Renton, Washington during this past week. Today, we attended their LDS ward (Skyview) in Renton. I enjoyed the high council speaker during sacrament meeting.  Since next week is this ward's primary program, the priesthood opening was moved to the primary room so that he children could have the chapel to rehearse the program. The bishopric member conducting priesthood announced that since we were gathered into the primary room, we would be singing "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam". The brother leading the music insisted that we all do the up and down motions with the song. We need to visit this ward more often!

Evan Mads Johnson

We traveled up to Renton, Washington to visit Russell and his family, and for most of us (except Debbie) to see their new baby, Evan Mads.  It was another great experience holding a new grandchild for the first time.  Evan was born 27 July 2014.  Debbie had the opportunity to come up after the birth to help out.  For Fall Break, we decided to come up for the week and be with Russ, LeighAnn, Charlie and Evan.
