Pickleball

I learned a new activity tonight - our YM played pickleball and it went pretty well - I didn't think I would enjoy it at first but once I actually started playing it I really liked it. Its a combination of tennis, ping pong and volleyball and is really interesting. Nathan did really great it was only the Teachers and Priests so CJ wasn't there.

Last Thursday was the annual Boy Scout leader district awards banquet and I wa surprised with an award - I received the Second Miler Award and felt quite honored to have been awarded it. It was a really great night.

I can't believe that it rained all last week - it was crazy but I really enjoyed the different weather for a change and wish it would stay - we are getting more tomorrow so that will be good.

Payson Utah is getting a temple - can you believe it? That's going to be so awesome- the Tanners are pretty excited and so am I.

See you later all.

Coaching Success!

Ok - sorry no pics - next game I will try and get some. Our Young Men (12-18) had our first Basketball game last night and it was great. There really wasn't any coaching involved - I mean you just sub in and out and then I just walked the side encouraging - but they just played and had fun doing it - it's not a "serious" game - just something to get us all together, enjoy ourselves, have fun - hopefully win, but if not then no big deal. That said - we did win 32-10.

The boys all played really well together - more ball sharing that I had thought would happen - especially since we do have one boy who loves to hold onto the ball -- but they all did great.

So my first coaching experience was a great success!
