Scout Letter for Michael

To Whom It May Concern:

I highly recommend Michael Trauntvein for the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Award. He is an outstanding young man who is thoughtful and considerate of others. 

I am not only his grandfather but I am also the Salt Creek District Commissioner, a Utah district, and am over advancements. I have worked with many young men and have direct knowledge of the projects they have completed. The project that Michael performed for his community was such an outstanding project that I mention it to others to help them understand the scope a project should have. Michael involved his school and community in gathering food for the food bank. He showed great leadership in organizing the drive and getting others involved. It was a great success.

Before moving to Ohio, while he was still living in American Fork, he performed in school plays, participated in musical events, won several awards for his achievements and was active in events for his church and community. Even then, while he was in grade school, he showed the characteristics of leadership which are evident in his life today. He has been, and is, a Scout who practices good scouting principles. 

Recently he went on a mini-mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in his area of Ohio. It made him even more aware of others and helped him develop an even greater testimony of the work and mission of Jesus Christ.

Sincerely yours,

Leonard H Trauntvein,

Grandfather and Salt Creek District Commissioner

I have been wondering, did your new Presidency begin at the temple yet?  I've been curious as to who the new presidency are.
I plan on coming over on the 11th to do some initiatory and sealings, with my daughter and son-in-law.  I know you won't be there, but just wanted you to know.
I might see some of the workers I should know.
Thanks

You will be surprised at the new additions to the chapel. I think you will like the new decorations. You should also like the new restrooms in the foyer. They are really something. They could be found in a castle. The marble is beautiful.

Love, M

I get to have four teeth filled tomorrow. Jared said they all looked like they had some problems.

Hope Mary is much better and none of the others are sick.

Love, M

PS: It really is just 7 p.m. I don't know why the e-mail thinks differently.

Renee in blurry photo

Myrna photoshopped this photo but it did not turn out well. I will keep practicing. It was taken from a printed band photo of Renee Childs Smith.

All At Max Childs' Funeral

I had to do a little Photoshop work on this. I hope that it is not too obvious. I had to add a bit to the edges.

Toren's 11th Birthday...‏ (With Photos)

He begged his dad to wake him up before going to work so he could open presents.  That happened to be at 6am—a little later than Shawn really needed to leave.

He was so happy with his presents. He played until it was time for school.  He came home and played some more.  Then about 8pm, you can see he’s sleeping with his Beda-roo spider crawling on him (the same one he put in his mom’s bed this morning)!  I don’t think he even ate any of the cake he helped bake and decorate.

He gets his cast off tomorrow and new on put on.  Not going to glow in the dark this time.

hi, love you (Thank you from David Anthony)

dear grandpa,

 

I miss you grandpa. Thank you for the Halloween card I got to get going to reading.

 

Sincerely,

David
