The Welch's have enjoyed many things since last update. The holiday season was wonderful. We enjoyed many family parties and the best was our phone call from Elder Welch. The call seemed to have him in great spirits. His spanish is wonderful but, his english is not so good. He loves serving the people in Peru and finding many oppurtunities to do so. After his call we packed up the girls and headed to Disneyland. We spent the week with aunts, uncles and cousins. It was great to enjoy some sunshine and relax a little. The it was back to the regular schedule of school, homework, church and everyday living. The girls are busy with school and learning so much more then mom and dad know. We have been very blessed with grat friends and family. Thank you to all of you. We have been busy with Lizzy lately with doctors, hospitals, and tests. She has been passing out in school and not doing to well. We finally had her tested for celiac. And guess what.... she has it. She is severely allergic to wheat, barley, oats, rye, and other grains. She has gone to a gluten free diet. It is wonderful seeing her feel better. She lost her "spunk" and "giggle". And she is getting back to feeling better. This has changed the way we all eat and look at food.
We have enjoyed snowshoeing, sledding, time together, and the sun for a little while. We are very blessed and enjoy everyday we have here as a family. Terry and Becca are making a trip to Ohio to visit Nikki and Darrin the end of the month. Becca is so excited to see Nikki and Darrin and spend sometime with them. She lis looking forward to travel with her dad.
Emily was elected to be mayor for Farmington Youth City Council. She will be involved with other youth and even with Lizzy on the council. They will be doing many activities for the city of Farmington. She is also, thinking about her future and what college to go to. (they are growing up to fast).
Anna is as beautiful as her other sisters. She hs turned 12 and enjoys the next phase in her life as a young women.
Terry and Cyrrena are still running around, working hard, loving every minute spent with family, and everything else life hasto give them.
Elder Welch has enjoyed getting a small refrigerator and first thing he bought was "fruit loops" and milk. He states that it was wonderful to have them.
