Happy 17th Birthday John! John received a new bass guitar and amp for his birthday. He plays the bass guitar in his band "Armchairs for Ecuador".
Jane has loved working with the marching band for the past 6 years. It has been hours and hours of time, but she has loved all the associations with the parents and the kids. Jane will really miss them next year.
We finished up marching band forever, both John and Jane. The band's final performance was their very best of the season. It was sad as John passed on the leadership responsibilities to the Juniors for next season. John hugged his Mom and thanked her for all her hours of service to the band and to him. Both John and Jane cried.
We now have 21 students in our Seminary class. 5 of them are non-members.4 of them are taking the missionary lessons. We are stuffed into our little room, but love being together. It is a rowdy class with powerful testimonies. This was a lesson on "putting on the armor of God".
John's band "Armchairs for Ecuador" participated in "Trunk or Treating" also. Here, they were learning music to sing in Sacrament meeting the next day (without the painted faces).
Our Ward participated in "Trunk or Treating" this year. We had a huge bag of candy, but it was gone in 20 minutes. Huge turn out.
