Palmer was in Lander Friday and Saturday for a big tournament. He won his first match on Friday, but then lost the other two and so didn't get to wrestle on Saturday. He had a great win on Thursday, however, and had his name in the paper for the fastest pin of the night!
Palmer also gave a talk on Sunday. He had to prepare it in the times he wasn't wrestling in Lander and did a pretty good job! It was on Family History, not one of his favorite topics! I think he is starting to have a change of heart, however. I went on family search Sunday night and by using the newish descendancy tab was able to find a name of one of Brian's dad's ancestors from Sweden who hadn't had his work done! I printed it out and Palmer can take it to the temple when the young men go in a couple of weeks! Really cool, I didn't realize how easy it was and it only took me about 30 minutes to find it! I also found a bunch of my Alder ancestors whose work hadn't been done and noticed that someone else was working on that line, I was able to get her email address (she lives in Manti) and I emailed her to ask if she would mind if I did some of their work. She called me on Monday and we had a very nice chat. She is getting ready to take all the names to the temple, so I won't be reserving them, but it was really cool to talk to a distant cousin!!
The missionaries ate dinner at our house again on Sunday. They are really great girls and we love to have them over. I feel like I am starting to pay back all the wonderful people who fed me on my mission, it's going to take a long time to pay back that debt!
On a different topic, I have started going to a weight training class at the gym. Yesterday was my first day. The gym owner is the personal trainer and he is very intense. I woke up so sore today. I sneezed and every muscle hurt! I guess it's working! I'm actually pretty excited about it, I've never been good at weight training so this should be good!
