March Newsletter

To The People We Love Best In All The World!

Babies: Rhett and Mandy Stone's baby girl Alexandria Paige Stone was born on 9 February 2009 in Oregon. Camille visited with them in March and had a great time. She says the baby is very cute. That's a given!

Missionaries: Move over Devin, Garrett Jones received his mission call andwill be going to Washington D C. He is really excited!
Devin is still enjoying his mission - between bike jumps and wrecks and teaching! Devin you got your mouth and attitude from your Uncle Karl Czirr- you sound just like him!!! You'll go far with that.

Visitors: During the exact week of our training, Alicia was able to hitch a ride to Utah. It was heaven for Raph to be with his girls , McKenna and Sophie and it was really nice for all of us to see Alicia too. Raph really appreciated Andrea and Shelley for planning a nice birthday party for Sophie. Raph was disappointed because he wanted everyone to see what an incredible little person she is but she was tired and expressed it loudly. We all understood that she was tired after a long day with daddy going everywhere with no nap! While he knows that we do he still was disappointed because noone here gets to see the kids very often.

Graduations: Diane Judkins will be graduating from BYU with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education 23 and 24th April 2009

Family History: Some of you know that Grandpa Czirr and I were called to a one year mission at the Family History Library on the BYU campus. We just completed a one week training class at the Family History Training Center in Provo. Very intense from 8am until 6pm and very rewarding! The Lord surely does bless us with the best He has and we really appreciate his concern and love.

Draper Temple Open House: Raph was able to go with dad and I to the open house. It was a very educational as well as spiritual experience because of Raph's architectural knowledge and his love of wood. He and dad really enjoyed talking about that. Even the bus ride up to the temple was pleasant! It is such a beautiful edifice. Shelley and Tom and their kids were there at the same time we were. We saw them but had to stay with our group so we didn't get to visit with them.

Draper Temple Dedication: Shelley didn't save seats for us but as it happened we ended up sitting right behind Chandler, Nicole, Shelley, Tom and Casey. That was a wonderful experience. I was in training all week and didn't have a chance to buy a women' handkerchief so I called Shelley and said, "I am one of the foolish virgins and am unprepared." She said she was also - she had tried to buy one and the stores were all out of them so she borrowed from her mother-in-law Roberta. Roberta had enough for me to use one too. I was very appreciative!!

Happy Easter!
