Mom Coley's Reception

Howdy!

Mom Coley's (MC) reception was this past weekend, not only was it close to
home, but my mommy came with me! It was very nice. The first day we got
there, we went to a bethel meeting! It was a different meeting but really
cool to see! It was a dual meeting, bethel 6 and bethel 19! The next morning
we woke up to go to a "hike" for H.I.K.E. This was a skating rink were they
train for speeding skating for the Olympics. There was a huge speed skate
track and two full size skating rinks, and then there was a running track
around the speed track. That is where we walked. It was freezing cold but a
lot of fun to watch these people skating around us. There was a guy shooting
a start gun and every time we walked by him it seemed like the race would
just be getting started and he shot the gun off right as we walked by
him. It startled us each time. The best part of the morning was to watch the
presentation of five separate HIKE awards to five different families. They
all seemed so grateful.

Later that night was MC's reception. Mom Maureen's (SBG) bethel did a really
cute presentation to her, played chimes and told a little bit about her
past. It was super cute, and neat to see how they all really support their
"Supremes".

The next morning Marilyn Olson, VGG from Wyoming, had a 6 am flight and was
up at 3. Mom and I got to sleep in and later in the morning went shopping
with Mom Elaine VGG and her daughter Lindsey. We were shown around the
city; we got lost but eventually found out way to the airport in plenty of
time. Due to flight delays we didn't make it home until 1:00 a.m. It was a
fun weekend and now I'm really excited for my reception!
