Meridian, Idaho

Well it has been awhile since the last blog and I need to be more up to date. We have made the move to Meridian and settled into our new surroundings. We are in a new ward, as the old one split the week after we arrived. We have been kept busy with fixing up the house and yard, unpacking boxes that had been closed up for 10 years. We have been to Moses Lake once and Chuck helped with the potato harvest. Now we are getting ready for Thanksgiving and the trip to Moses Lake. We will be joined by Erika and family at Scott's. We have enjoyed being close to the Temple here in Boise, unfortunately we hear it will be closing for almost a year, which means we will be traveling to Twin Falls to attend. We have been excited to hear of our friends receiving mission calls. Kris and Phil Cramer are off to Germany, Richard and Linda Later are going to serve in Alaska. We look forward to when we can also join the seniors in the mission field.

Well that is about it for this entry. Love to all

The Waller's

New update

Dear Friends and Family;

Well it has been a few months since our last update and the world has changed and the Waller home is no different. We have had a lot of water go under the bridge since the last blog. 1st, Sharon's mother passed away unexpectantly in May. She had been doing well with just her knee giving her problems but then she took a fall. From that she developed a pulmonary emboli that led to pneumonia. It all took less than 2 weeks and left the family shocked. We have been extremely busy getting her affairs in order and her home on the market.

Around the middle of May Gran (Chuck's mother) moved from South Carolina to live with us. Unfortunately this has put more stress on Sharon during the time where her focus has been on her Mother and family. But things are working out and Gran is doing well and we enjoy having her living with us again.

With the loss of her mother, we had nothing to hold us to Salt Lake City. Although Chrissy and her fmaily live here, we have felt a need to be more central in the family. As things turned out we found a beautiful home in Meridian, Idaho and will be moving there at the end of this month. This will place us a half day drive to all the children and living really close to Tom and Alisha.

We have now been released from our Temple Ordinance Worker calling. We both have really enjoyed serving in the Temple and plan to continue that service at the Boise Temple. I also was released from my Service Mission at the Family History Center.

So that is about it for now. Or new address in Meridian will be;

4302 North Bryce Canyon Ave
Meridian, Idaho 83646

We will be getting new phones and will update that later.

Love to all
Chuck & Sharon

Serving in different ways!!

It has been awhile since my last entry, so here is an effort to catch up and become more regular on the maintaining a current blog. Since the last entry we have kept busy with service in the church. Sharon and I have been called to serve in the Jordan River Temple. We serve on Wed. and Thursday evenings. At first it was rather intimidating what with all the memorization and the desire to be perfect in our service, but we have been able to master the different required tasks and now are really enjoying the Spirit.

I have also begun servicing as a Family History Service Missionary at the Joseph Smith Building. I work 3 days a week and serve in the Ordinance Data Mangement section. It has been difficult yet interesting. I work with problems in the New Family Search program that patrons discover in their research.

We are now preparing for a change in our home situation as ERika and Aaron are moving to Washington State. A job promotion in the medical device field leads them to greener pastures. Sharon and I will be staying here in SLC. We will rent their home and Gran will be moving out from SC and live with us. So time moves on and we have to adapt.

That is the news for this month.
