A Dinner appointment

Just when I am thinking I can live without technology, I get this picture on my i phone.... 

 The text read, "I enjoyed a lovely dinner with your sons tonight!"  Wow, nothing could warm my heart more.  It makes me want to stop and take pictures of every missionary I see and text them to their mamas!

Coming Home

  It wasn't Paris, or Zimbabwe, or Portugal- it was Yakima, Washington and to our family it is sacred ground.  Ground that we sent our brother and son to... for two years.  Our other four grew up while Seleck was gone-some of it was pretty tough.  Looking back now, it was worth it. And I am pretty certain we had angels watching over us for those two years.   We arrived at the mission home at 8:30 am on June 19th- a day we had been counting down to for quite sometime.  What a reunion it was!  President and Sister Lewis served us an amazing breakfast- thank you!  We enjoyed visiting with the other Elders who would soon be joining their families across the United States.   For the next four days, we visited, hugged, laughed, and shared so much with the people Seleck served and served with--- there are so many ways to be a missionary- just ask the Schonwald family in Bridgeport, Washington or Brother and Sister Lott i...

The drop off- Weeping Wednesday

Image
Families are Forever...   I am starting a new blog today to record Seleck's adventures as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This is his blog.  I am just the story keeper.  Each week I will share his letters, emails, and pictures.  Today, I share with you our "Weeping Wednesday."  We dropped Elder Rigby off at the Provo MTC yesterday, Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 1:45 pm.  There were 647 missionaries entering the MTC with him. If I ever wondered if these kids loved each other, today gave me the answer.... These three little boys now grown tall have always held my heart! I want to be a missionary now. I don't want to wait until I've grown... Like Father Like Son The best things are always the hardest! There is nothing quite like this bond. Heart wrenching- the birthday brothers!   Seleck...

Dear Chief- a note from dad

Image
Elder Rigby, Missing you tonight and decided to use mom's email to send you a note.  Got started on the shop addition today. Stockton worked hard!  Missed you greatly!  I don't know if you heard, but Madsen's team is going to Washington.  We will arrive on Aug 2nd.  Madsen struggled the first of two games against Snow Canyon but turned it on the final championship game.  He went 3 for 4 and made several great outs at short stop in a 13-4 victory. Your Ipod Shuffle is being shipped.  Sorry for the delay, but these items seem to have been on back order.  I hope it arrives by Sunday so I can spend some time downloading listening material for you and get it mailed early next week. Once I get the songs and talks downloaded, I will send a package.  Do you need anything else?  I also ordered a seat donut if you are interested.  Boy can those chairs get hard after a long day!!! I greatly enjoy your letters, emails, and cards....
