Spring and Chili and Camp

Fridays snow was mostly gone by saturday afternoon, and we were able to go to the
2nd annual Mitchell Branch Chili Cookoff. We invited our neighbor J.P. and his little boy Gavin (visitors got to judge). Our family took three different pots. Franks chicken chili with corn. Franks chicken chili w/o corn and a pot of Cowboy Beans. There were ten entries altogether. The sister half of our missionary couple won judges choice. Tom won the hottest, as well as the kids choice, for different pots. which was interesting because the the difference between the two was that one had corn and one did not. Tom now has a new apron and a chefs hat.

Sunday after church, Pres. Smith asked to talk to me, and issued the calling of Girls camp director. We will have three girls going this year. This is the first year that our branch is sending more than one girl. I am very excited about going. I will have to plan some easy dinners and such for the kids who will be home. Tom will be home evenings. I have already talked to the teacher who will be teaching my summer math class, which I will miss twice, she said she usually allows one missed day, but since I am letting her know so far in advance it will be o.k.
