December 2020




Kira is doing very well in her gymnastics meets getting scores in the 9's.  

Kira and Kim

Daniel and Katrina stayed over night in WJ on their way to donate toys to Primary Children's Hospital.  These are some of the toys which the Rogers cousins donated to his project.  




Primary Children's Hospital was very happy to receive the gifts because they haven't been able to get any for a long time because of Covid.  

My oldest Rasband cousin, Robert (Bob) John Rasband died in West Jordan on December 9, 2020, and was buried in a graveside ceremony in Heber City Cemetery with military honors on December 17, 2020 because he had served in the Navy.

We finally have our solar batteries installed.  The project was started at the beginning of July.  The only way we know the power has gone out is that the clock on the kitchen stove needs to be reset.

Victoria, Charlotte, and Kate love their Harry Potter dolls and stuffed animals.  




We loved playing games with James and Grant.  


John, Lillian, and Amelia love Happy Meals.  


Even though the Joseph Smith Memorial Building was closed to everyone but staff they still had the Christmas tree.  As missionaries who are assigned there, we can access the building even though we generally work from home.
