Update for Erickson Newsletter

Hi everyone!  We had a Women's Conference here in the mission.  The picture you see is all the sister missionaries.  When we came a year ago there were 12 sisters (Hermanas) now we have 50!  We had speakers, lunch, some learning activities and then picture taking.  Everyone handed their camera to the two elders (Aps) to take a picture.  So they were holding 50 cameras. The mission president's wife then called out my name, where was my camera?  Take the picture on Hermana Schmidt's camera and she can forward it to everyone.  (So I'm forwarding it to you.:)  You'll see President and Sister Devon Cornish (remember the ensign article of the doctor riding home from school on a bike and praying for a coin to buy a piece of chicken.)  Sister Zivic is with them. 

      My kids and grandkids are doing really well! Amy and Jake and Grace came to visit us!  It was so nice of them, we had a great time!

A FUN MEMORY OF MOM:  I can see Mom standing at the old camp stove cooking our supper at Yellowstone or someplace.  She would use the old grill and the big mess kit with the lifters for the pots and fry pan.  It was so yummy!  Hamburgers, fried potatoes and fried onions.  I can smell and taste those delicious meals now!
