Elder Dailey in Sunderland

Patrick loves the people in England. Here is a family that like him too.

Miss Rebekah

It has been so long since I updated my blog. I was so busy with everything and then just not in the mood. But last Friday I watched Rebekah and took some new photos of her. They are really not the best but I am posting them just the same.
She is getting to be so fun. She can play now and I don't have to be walking her around trying to keep her happy while she is away from mommy. We really had lots of fun.
She is so cute!

Baptism for Elder Dailey

Crystal was baptized on Saturday, August 15th. Sean and his companion Elder Saunders decided that it would be best for Crystal to be baptized by someone in the ward that she could get close to and have a connection with. So they asked the bishop to baptize her. Someone else in the ward was going to do the confirmation but was out of town so Elder Saunders did the confirmation.
Today, Missy O. was getting baptized too. She is a teenager whose family recently were reactivated and her younger brothers were already baptized last month. She wasn't ready until now.
So Missy told her dad on the day of her baptism and then 1 1/2 hours before the baptism she text her mom and said "I am getting baptized in 1 1/2 hours I hope to see you at the church.

SeaWorld today

We went to SeaWorld today with the family. It was a perfect day with the weather and the kids. It could not have been better (unless the twins were there).
Look at the fun we had.

The Elder Dailey's

Chris competes today

Today our son Chris competed in his first sprint triathlon. He finished in 1 hr 40 min. We are so proud of him. He really worked hard to prepare himself for this day. It really was a fun day watching him compete.

Rebekah is 6 months old today

I can't believe how fast time goes by. Rebekah is 6 months old now and getting to be such a fun little girl. She is the best dressed 6 month old you have ever seen.

Happy Birthday to Carter

Wednesday Carter turned 5 years old. I can't believe how fast time goes by. Kim made his favorite dinner which consisted of chicken fettuccine Alfredo, homemade french bread, Caesar salad and a yummy chocolate bundt cake.
The party consisted of aunts & uncles, grammie and papa, his mommy and brothers and his little cousin Rebekah. It was a wild and crazy party!

Summer Fun!

I have been entertaining the grandsons while Kim goes to her doctor/dentist appointments and shops. So I have tried to let them have fun. This is Mason on the slip n slide.

Elder Dailey will baptize two tomorrow

We are so excited for Sean because tomorrow he will be able to baptize two new members into the true church. This will be the first ones that he baptizes. He has had other baptisms but got transferred before the baptisms actually happened.
He said that his goal is to "Find to teach. Teach to baptize. Baptize to seal."

The happy grandparents

Here we are posing as the happy grandparents with our little Rebekah yesterday. She is such a doll.

Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day! I wanted to make a special blog posting today for my Dad. He is the best dad that anyone could every have or want.
In church today there were three talks given on dads and I found it hard to not be emotional today knowing that my dad is spending Father's Day in the hospital. He has been there nearly a week now and things are getting very serious.
I love him so much and I am so grateful for him and for the wonderful things I have learned from him and for the love that he gives me.
Happy Father's Day Dad, I love you.

Elder in Minnesota has Whopping Cough

I don't know how but Sean contracted Whopping Cough. Yes he has been immunized for it but apparently one should get a booster every 10 years. Who knew? He is much better now and he never let it stop him. (hopefully he didn't contaminate anyone)
Last week he went to a dinner appointment and they had 4 investigators for them to teach. (that is every missionaries dream and exactly what each of us members should be doing too) So he is teaching those 4 and has a family coming to church that hasn't been in years. They are excited to be back at church and are talking about going to the temple and having their children baptized. The children ages 17 & 18 are excited and want to be baptized.
He spent his p-day this week fishing on the Mississippi River.

Elder Dailey on fire

No Patrick is not literally on fire but off to a great start for the month of June in finding and teaching. Currently he is teaching a Scottish woman that has come to church and is changing her life. He and his companion also found 2 other new investigators that they are teaching as well.
He is happy and loving his mission and loving England.
