Waite Family Fun Days

WFFD Quote Wall:

Kaylynn - The key is small serving spoons (so you don't run out of food)

Tristan - part the Semons (taking the family picture)

Matt - Nathan, you look more normal than you feel (family picture)

Matt - That's in vitro humor

Jeanette - I think you're going to like this one better. The heads are going to be more evenly sized (ironic for a family with larger than average head sizes)

Grandma Carol - Bee where you are supposed to bee when you are supposed to bee there.

Nathan - We have cell phones. We can watch Youtube videos, play princess games.  PRESTON - you have princess games? Nathan - Read the Book of Mormon.

Nathan telling about when he was sick on his mission - How far will you follow me?

Julie - Marriage has never been on my suck list.

Jeanette - I have to babysit myself which stinks

Julie - He's super pleasant except when he's not

Grandpa/Grandma - We are going to get a $500 fine for...

It has been a few years since we have been able to pull off a Waite Family Fun Days gathering. The stars aligned this year and the entire Waite family as it now stands was together for a few hours. Our oldest nephew, Nathan Bennett, got home from his mission to Mexico, and so we planned WFFD around his homecoming. We got to hear him speak in Sacrament Meeting. He did such a great job. He talked about how much he loved eating fresh pineapple and mangoes but the people there were so used to them that they couldn't believe he made such a big deal about it.  He compared it to taking the gospel for granted and getting used to it so that it's not such a big deal anymore. In the middle of his talk he said he couldn't think of the English word and had to look up a scripture to find what he was trying to say. The scripture he said was yielding your heart to God. Do we yield our hearts to God? Then he bore his testimony in Spanish. He was a good missionary. We loved reading his weekly letters.
