Lots of Stuff

A lot of stuff has happened this past week! Alright, last week, Jon Wright turned 14, so he was ordained to the Teacher's Quorum.

This week, Kyle Worley, turned 14, and was ordained a Teacher today.

Since Kyle was the Deacon's Quorum President, he, Kyle Makaiwi, Rick, and Keola were released from their positions in the Presidency. But a new Presidency has been made for the Deacons. Jeff is now the Deacon's Quorum President, Keola is the 1st Counselor, Ryan is the 2nd Counseler, and Spencer is the Secretary.

Anyway, we're glad to have Jon and Kyle join the Teacher's Quorum!

Now they're not with the Wittle Deacons anymore!

Moving On Up

About a week or two ago, Jeff's brother, Josh Reed turned 12, so now he is part of the Deacon's Quorum!

Sunday was Rick's birthday. He turned 14, so he's now part of the Teacher's Quorum.

We're glad to have them with us!

The Past Few Weeks

I know that I haven't posted anything for the past few weeks. I'll try to do better! But let me go through all the events that have happened lately.

 On October 15th, the Deacons Quorum went on an overnight campout on Angel Island, in the San Francisco Bay.

Their quorum split in two, and one group got to sail to Angel Island on Tay's dad's sailboat. The other group took a ferry to the island. They camped overnight there, and got to hike around to the old military forts.

On the 16th, while the Deacons were on Angel Island, The Teachers Quorum went to the Wurzbachs' house and helped them clean out their garage. It was actually kind of fun, because we got to eat pizza that Alex Lowe bought at Costco.

Then, that Sunday (October 17th), Alex Lowe moved on from the Teachers Qurorum to the Priests Quorum, because he had turned 16.

And thats pretty much it!

Another Temple Trip

Today, all the youth went on a trip to the Temple. First, we met at the church at 4:30. Dallin and his mom brought Costco pizza for all of us to eat. Then we hopped into the different cars and drove to the temple. Jeremy, Jeff, Jaren, Tay, Dallin, and I all got into Bishop Bromley's car. We then got to the Temple in Oakland. We first calmed ourselves down, and entered the Temple.

This trip to the Temple was kind of cool, because most of our names were from China. They were all born around 1860-1890, so they were actually born during the Qing Dynasty (I just looked that up on Wikipedia).

When we were all done, we walked out of the temple, and man, was the view beautiful. The sun had just set, so the sky was three layers of red, orange, and yellow. The lights in Oakland and
San Francisco lit up. It looked a little bit like this:

Afterwards, we drove back to the church, and went home.

The New Deacon's Quorum Presidency

Yesterday, The Deacons Quorum ordained their new presidency. Kyle Worley is now the Deacons Quorum President! His two counselors are Rick Patterson as 1st Counselor, Kyle Makaiwi as 2nd Counselor, and Keola Querato is the Secretary.

I'm sorry if I don't have a picture of Keola up yet. I will...soon!

All-in-all, we're glad to have Dallin in the Teacher's Quorum!

Update

I know, I haven't said anything in a while. I'll give you a quick update. The Teachers are on their High Adventure on the Klamath River, near the Oregon Border. I don't know why I didn't go with them. I didn't really want to. But anyway, they had a fun time there!

Two new families had moved into the ward as well. Keola Querato is a Deacon, and his brother Kelani Querato is a Teacher. Also, we have Jonathan Wright, who is a Deacon (and who isn't related to Teddy or Alex Wright). We're glad to have them with us!
