Alyssa, Ben and Bella came to visit us for Ben's dad's wedding on the 11th. Ben had to get back to school and work but Alyssa and Bella stayed until the following Saturday. It was great having them here!!
It came at a hectic time though. Sue was asked (called) to be the Relief Society President for the ward just prior to Alyssa's visit. For those not aware of Mormon culture, Relief Society is a women's organization in the Church that oversees women things in the congregation (not being a women, I don't have an active role). They assist with the physical and spiritual needs of the congregation -"Relief". I don't know the numbers but 150 to 300 women. I'm writing this a week after she's been up and running (literally). She's already made several home and hospital visits supplying spiritual, emotional and even church welfare support. Plus multiple organizational meetings. It's a large, very stressful responsiblity, but she is doing, and will do a great job.
