(Letter to missionary Elder James Berky, by Dad)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elder James,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sorry I missed your call yesterday.\u00a0 LaMont and I had our heads down reviewing\u00a0our Find-A-Code competitors and preparing a plan to offer three versions of FAC with some add-on products bundled in.
I have a big website face-lift that will launch in January and make the website look much more modern.\u00a0 I also want to revise the search tools to combine all the different types of searchable data we have into a single set of results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scouts is winding down.\u00a0 Tonight we are going with all the youth to see the SLC Temple lights.\u00a0 Riding the train up there.\u00a0 Sam is the only brother going with me.\u00a0 Anthony has Christmas Concert rehearsal\u00a0(I heard him and mom practicing last night – you guys should try a duet sometime – he’s also pretty good). Benjamin has a wrestling tournament and Jacob will be at swimming practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last night we went to the Utah Baroque Ensemble’s Christmas Sing-a-long program.\u00a0 Mom likes to go every year.\u00a0 And it was nice to see some of the folks we traveled to Germany with 2 summers ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tomorrow night is Pack Night where Jacob will be getting his Arrow of Light.\u00a0 Then we head to Anthony’s Christmas Concert.\u00a0 Thursday night I’m taking Sam to set up for the next UV Symphony concert and then on to another of Ben’s wrestling tournaments in Provo.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ben made the Varsity team for the 220 weight class (he’s only 195, but they already had a good wrestler in his weight class and none in the 220 class).\u00a0 Yesterday he had to defend his varsity position against a guy named Carson.\u00a0 They already had a varsity guy in Carson’s class also so he was challenging Ben to take Ben’s spot in the higher weight class.\u00a0 But Ben beat him 7 to 4.\u00a0 Ben was pretty excited when he came home because he usually loses when he wrestles Carson in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday night is the only night this week we don’t have a family activity, although Mom is taking Jacob to SLC for a 2 day swim meet that evening.\u00a0 We will all go up Saturday morning to cheer Jacob on and then Saturday night is the UV Symphony concert we’ll attend (and Sam will help take down).\u00a0 Anthony may or may not be there. He started working at the new Spanish Fork Chilil’s restaurant last night training on the grill.\u00a0 So he may have to work Thurs-Sat doing more training.\u00a0 Busy week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday afternoon Jacob has his Temple and Priesthood introduction meeting.\u00a0 Looks like we be ordaining Jacob, Sam and Ben on January 26th when Berky grandparents are in town.\u00a0 We’ll try to schedule the Eagle Court of Honor for Anthony and Ben also that weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life keeps moving forward.\u00a0 We make mistakes, repent, and move forward (rinse and repeat).\u00a0 Glad to hear you are having lots of opportunities to give service.\u00a0 Make every day of your mission count.\u00a0 You’ve only got a limited number of days left – end on a strong, high note!\u00a0 \u00a0<- singing\/music tie in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
