Dinner and BINGO

If you have ever been driving down the highway in Payson on a Friday you may have seen the sign that the Catholic church puts up that say "Dinner and Bing tonight 6:00". Throughout my high school years my friends and myself would always say that we need to go play BINGO with the old ladies at the church. What we were saying was empty comments, until last Friday, me and Mark (who you have met in earlier post) were driving down the road and saw that sign and I said "We need to do that tonight because it is the last chance we will have". Mark being semi hesitant said sure, so we were off on our last great adventure together. We walked into the church and found four older ladies talking in a kitchen. We walked in and said "We want to play BINGO and eat some dinner", they said "okay". One of the ladies told us how it worked and what we need to do. The main thing that she told us to do was to sit by an old lady named Mary, she was a seasoned veteran at the game of BINGO she had been coming and playing BINGO since they had started. Sitting next to her and talking I learned that she was 81 years old and that her husband had died 10 years earlier, and the most money that she had won was 100 buck in one night. We played about 12 games of BINGO but not just regular BINGO we played many different varieties of it. Mark or myself did not win anything but we both come close many times. Mary won 15 dollars. it was a very fun adventure and I am glad that I finally got the chance to play BINGO with all the old ladies.

Baseball, Goodbye, and Ducks


BASEBALL
Last night Brian, dad, and myself. Went to the Bee's baseball game, it was very fun even though in the seventh inning Tacoma scored 8 runs and we the bee's lost 3-13. But the cool part was, in the second inning a foul ball came strait towards us, no we did not catch it because it was going like 100 MPH and almost hit Dad in the head, it ended up hitting a pipe and braking the insulation that was covering it.
GOODBYE
After the baseball game we went back to Brian's house, the next morning Brian and Jen were heading to Alaska for there great summer adventure, so they will not see me off at the MTC next week, we said our goodbye at this point. It was sad to see them for the last time for the next two years but I really was just worried about Jen crying and getting all emotional my family is not really like that and it has been and adjustment for everyone since she has been in the family (not that she cries a lot but she hugs a lot and we do not do that is our family) but she did not cry and thank you for that. I just don't like to make people sad.
DUCKS
This morning I decided Issac and I would go feed the ducks. Him being only two and barely able to speech said "Ya" so we went over to Salem pond. Normally when you go there are so many ducks that it is crazy but this time all we could find were a flock of geese but it was all good we had a good time and Issac had a fun time I think.
