We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Got a letter from my daughter yesterday and she said 374 is doing very well with everything they are supposed to be doing! Everyone is really starting to gel together.

We got our first set of letters yesterday from our daughter. She wrote in diary style so there was several small letters. It was good to read she has not lost her sense of humor. She had me laughing so hard I had tears when she wrote "whose brilliant idea was it to put 50+ women in one compartment". She said she was bored most of the time but that was going to change real soon. She loves her division and up for what was to come.

We have run into a dilemma and I'm not sure what our options are. I know our SRs get 4 people in the ceremony--so that would be her Dad, myself, my husband and we have two children (10,7)--is one of us going to have to miss her Pass In Review bc of the limit? We obviously can't send our 10 or 7 year old to the chapel alone. Is anyone else having this issue and how are you thinking about resolving? Thanks in advance!
