Dad: The Bandits will play in the championship game today. Hostert will be the pitcher. They play North Dakota that they beat in their first game. ND has been on a roll. In both of their games yesterday they had 14 hits in each. Have a wonderful day.

Dad: The Bandits won the world series today. The game started last night but was rained out after one inning. Hostert was pitching he gave up two runs on two hits but he threw 35 pitches. Because he was over 30 he could not pitch today. They started down 1-2 but scored three in the bottom of the second today and held on to win 5-3. Fargo's pitcher last night was also over 30 in his inning.
Idaho has had two other teams in the finals. Pocatello lost in the very first world series in 1926 6-23. Lewiston lost in 2001 2-5.
Chance and Joe came over last night. Joe starts school today. Keep up the hard work. Love you.

Dad: Elder Isom, I pray all is well with you. Not much has changed this week. I did get to work almost all three days. Thursday I got called in to help in NICU. There was a 26 week baby, 40 weeks is full term, about to be born. I was the recorder and wrote down the time and everything that happened. It was fun to see all that goes on. The baby is doing well.
I can't believe how out of shape I am. We were sweeping the blacktop off tonight. I got winded after a couple of minutes. What a wimp.
I got some grain to fatten the steers up. They come running each morning and night to get their food.
The apples are getting big. We do have more worms than we ever had. I think the rainy days during bloom messed with the ideal timing.
Mom has CPR in the morning then your strange cousins are going to bless their baby at Jensen's Grove at 1:00. Not sure how that is going to work out. Looking forward to talking with you tomorrow.
Listened to a great devotional talk from a military commander. We never know when the Lord will need us. We must always be prepared and worthy so he can use us to bless his children. Now is the time to prepare so we can fulfill our callings. When a fellow soldier was wounded and needed a blessing he could not say Oh let me take care of a matter and I will get back to you. Always live the Gospel and honer the priesthood you have been blessed with.
Have a great week. Love you.
Dad
