Not Much Happening

 The week was pretty event-free. We all did the school/work thing.

The general election is coming--and it cannot come soon enough. I am so tired of all the lies that the politicians are spewing.

COVID-19 is soaring here in southeast Idaho. I will not be surprised if we go back to work-at-home. I hope not.

The one bright spot over that last few weeks has been BYU. BYU is 6-0 and garnering some national attention. BYU has a really good chance to go undefeated, but a game with Boise State in Boise looms. Hopefully, they will not get big heads and lose to a team that they should defeat!

Back to "Normal"

After a week off, it was back to school and work for the family. The illness has not completely left us, but we are well enough to get back to some normalcy.

Monday was Columbus Day. Since the school district nor Idaho State University take the day off. we all went to where we were supposed to go.

I can hardly wait for this election to get over. It is blatantly obvious that the media is out to get President Trump and will do anything to make sure he does not get reelected. Just a few more weeks until it is all over!

Being Sick and Shocking News

 

I started the week sick. I was fearful that I had COVID-19, but my test was negative. However, it really did knock me for a loop. By the end of the week, the rest of the family was sick. Lilli called on Thursday from school being sick so I had to go get her. Deb was sick on Thursday, and by Friday Angie was sick. It struck the Gambles household pretty hard.

Mom called us with some very shocking news. Kim Thomas had been killed in a tree-cutting accident. It was so shocking. Deb and I went to the viewing this evening. Kim looked really good in the casket--or at least a good as a dead person can look!

BYU played the University of Texas at San Antonio in an empty stadium in Provo. BYU played a frustrating game--one that has become too common during the Kalani Sitake years. Every time they got themselves in scoring position they would shoot themselves in the foot. Usually, BYU loses these games. Thank goodness they were able to edge them, 27-20.

General Conference

 

The week concluded with General Conference. We watched it as a family. It was a very nice conference. President Russell M. Nelson, at the conclusion of the conference, announced six new temples, one of which will be in Lindon, Utah.

Conference was held without anyone in attendance except the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve, and others that participated. It will be nice when conference will have attendees again.

Angie participated in the annual Powder Puff game. Her team of sophomores and juniors lost 7-0. Angie got to play in the second half on the defensive line. The game is always played during the week of Marsh Valley's homecoming. MV did well and won the game against South Fremont, 27-19.

Angie also tried out for the competitive cheer team. She made it. She was pretty happy especially since a lot of her friends are on the team.

BYU played Louisiana Tech in an empty stadium in Provo. BYU handled them easily, 48-14. They are 3-0 and climbing in the polls. They are ranked 15 right now.
