Brother Jack & Keny Semons family, Carrollton Texas

Dear Loved Ones,

We have had another busy week at the Dallas Employment Center, especially the first half of the week. Gloria was still out sick this week but she is doing better so we expect to see her tomorrow. We really miss her when she is gone. It’s nice to have someone to answer the phones, greet people and take care of the bulk of the paper work type things, keeping records current on Stake and Ward Employment Specialist etc. etc.

It does seem like we are having more and more people requesting help with interviewing. They can do a mock interview and even a taped interview. They play it back and watch it themselves and usually learn a lot about how they present themselves. Jack and the managers, Julie and Donna do the interviews. I stay away from this, but I’m always happy to set them up with Elder Nelson. He does very good, he knows a lot about a lot of things, that really is a benefit for all. Most are surprised that he can ask such in depth questions about their career field during an interview. One this week was surprised he knew so much about GIS, which if of course is Dustin’s area of expertise.

A young man called in this week with whom both Jack and I worked with, I helped more on his resume and Jack did an interview with him. He reported that he had gotten the job he was applying for at Ethan Allen’s as a designer.

I called and talked with the young brother and sister (abt 19 & 21) that Elder Nelson and I worked with a couple of weeks ago. They both have upcoming interviews and are getting out and finding places to apply. The young man was so grateful for the help that he has received from us and the other LDS people he knows, he said he is interested in learning more about the church and possibly becoming a member.

Another friend of the church from Denton had been referred to us by someone he knew. I had sent him a welcome email when he signed onto the ldsjobs website, offering assistance if needed. He called back and set up an appointment for Wednesday to come in. He is a respiratory therapist and a professional bull rider. Both are going slow for him so he is considering getting some more education and becoming an RN. (I still hold my breath and hope that the Lord will bless me to be able to help.)

I worked with a young lady, who will graduate from high school soon. She came in wanting to do the Career Exploration activities. She is not sure what direction to go in college. Her Dad is an engineer and after she was finished with the activities she is thinking that might be the direction she goes too.

Elder Nelson and I have been quite busy this week keeping up with job postings and he has had quite a few new companies to add to the website. We have had several volunteers this past week that have been very helpful in being able to post many of the jobs. We so appreciate them, especially right now where we don’t have our regular people coming to do this. We still really miss Nathan Mahanas. Sister Page was able to come in this week, she has had her surgery and was feeling well enough to come in this past Tuesday.

By the end of piano class this past Wednesday I was starting to feel quite poorly. Fever and chills kind of a thing. It worked out good that on Thursday Jack, Charlie and Will Boeswetter had made plans to go on a tour over at the Cowboy Stadium. They were able to go enjoy doing that and I was able to stay and the apartment and rest. They are gearing up for the Super bowl next week so they had quite the tour!!

I was still not feeling well on Friday so spent another day resting. By Saturday I was back on top of things and was able to go back to the Center.

Between sickness, the cold weather and gas prices we have stayed rather close to the apartment this week. However, yesterday and today have been very pleasant days. It doesn’t sound like that will stay for long, we expect another cold front by Tuesday.

Jack & Kenny Samones invited us over to their home this past week for dinner. They are such kind, gracious people. He is the patriarch in the Carrollton Stake and she is the kindest, sweetest lady you’ve every met. She is also involved in music, piano and voice, so we enjoy some similar interests. I think I forgot to mention in the last letter that the Labrums invited us over for dinner last Sunday evening. We have had the opportunity to meet and become friends with some really wonderful people here.

Our homeless friend, Roberto, whom we have known and helped for at least a year now, wanted to take Jack and I to lunch yesterday. He’s the one who calls me Donna, he doesn’t do that anymore, since when he asks for Donna when he calls in, they give him the real Donna. Anyway now he calls me Elder Sister Nelson. Elder Nelson has worked with him a lot too. He does some yard work and had worked a couple of days last week so that’s what he wanted to do with some of his money. He gave us a couple of places to go and we chose Wendy’s. We didn’t order a lot because we didn’t want him to use all of his money. It was a very nice thing for him to do and nice that he was concerned about giving back to others who have been helping him.

We are grateful for this opportunity to serve as missionaries. We love the Dallas area, the people are wonderful. It is hard to be away from home, especially with the happy things of new babies being born and other hard things that come into the lives of our family. We continue to trust in the Lord that he will bless us all, sustain us, and guide us. We pray that he will direct our paths. We appreciate your support, love and prayers, it means so much.

Our Love,

Mom & Dad, Grandpa & Grandma, Jack & Gaye

Sister Nelson and Sister Morell in Austin Tx

23 January 2011

We have some wonderful news this week! Monday, the 17th of January, Dustin and Laurens new little baby boy arrived. His name is Luke Stanley Nelson, we are so blessed to have another little boy added to our family. From what we hear Mom and baby are doing good and the other children, especially Allie, are excited to have a new brother.

We’re so glad to hear of the progress that is being made with the Dalley’s house. It’s so humbling and we are so grateful for all of the assistance that has been given to them by so many people. We heard they finished up with the insurance adjustors and were able to have a work day yesterday. About 50 people came to help and they were able to clean out their house down to where only the studs of the walls are all that is remaining inside. What a huge effort!!!

I’m not sure how the days and weeks seem to go by so quickly and so slowly all at the same time. Sometimes it seems like it was a lot longer than just a week ago that some of these events took place, but here it is the last week in January already.

We, all Church employees, and the missionaries who work with the church employees, had this past Monday off for Human Rights Day. We kept things pretty low key, enjoyed hearing the news about the new grandson and did things here at the apartment, I even had a chance to do some cooking, that doesn’t happen very often at all. Strangely enough I miss it a little bit. We were able to go out in the evening for dinner with Charlie and Carla, and then play music with the Bryner’s.

Tuesday we made up for the day off, it was extremely busy at the Employment Center. We had a lot of people come in and for most of them it was their first time in so we spend more time with each one individually to see where they are and what they could use some help with. Sister Lyle has not recovered from her pneumonia yet so she is still out; also Sister Phelps, who had shoulder surgery last Fall, has had some trouble with her shoulder, it seems she has a stress fracture. They had some doctors appointments Tuesday morning and weren’t able to come in till after 3:00 pm. So Elder Nelson, Donna and I were kept very busy that day.

Actually Wednesday it was basically the three of us working on the floor too, since Wednesday is the Pehlp’s P-day. It was busy but not too bad.

One of the most unusual candidates that I worked with this week was a lady in her fifty’s from Zimbabwe. She spoke pretty good English but had a very strong accent, if I really concentrated I could understand her. She is a very sweet lady who wanted to find work as a live in baby sitter or help care for an elderly person.

Friday was our Career Workshop. We had two people in it, one who could read a little and the other who couldn’t read much at all so we had to take a more ‘picturesque’ approach. It all worked and came together.

We had a lot of job notifications come through on email this week, however it was so busy that I didn’t have much time to work on getting the jobs posted on the website. We had a volunteer come in Friday to work for 4 hours. If they have any computer skills we have them help us post the jobs on the website. This lady had ‘some’ knowledge of computer. She didn’t know how to copy and paste but was willing to learn. I worked with her for quite a long time but she got the hang of it. I had her up at the front desk on a computer near where I was working so I could be available to help with questions as needed. Toward the end of her stay she mentioned that she is also looking for work and that she had tried to apply for jobs on line but many of them require you to copy and paste your resume. She wasn’t able to do it, therefore she was unable to complete the applications. She was very happy to have learned this new skill. You never know what it is that may help some one, sometimes you just happen on to it – or better said, the Lord leads you to it.

Saturday ended up being quite a slow day as far as candidates coming in to the Center. It made it nice because I was able to get a lot accomplished as far as posting jobs. Elder Nelson and I worked together, I would post the job then he took the names of the companies and did some research on them to see if they were ones we would want to have added to the site. For example we discovered that Peterbilt’s main office is in Denton, and they are doing a lot of hiring right now.

Saturday afternoon Charlie and Carla invited us to go to their granddaughter’s 6th grade volleyball game, which by the way was very good, those little girls are very skilled. The 6th graders beat the 7th grade team even. Mark Morell is the coach so everyone was happy. We stopped and got pizza and then went to the monthly book club meeting. They decided that for next month they would ready the book about Boulder Dam.

On Thursday, our P-day, we went to Austin with Charlie and Carla. Charlie had an organ in a church that needed some repair work done. We dropped him off there then Carla, Jack and I went to a Texas museum down by the capitol building that was really interesting. We drove the truck down because the lady at this church has a reed organ that needed some repair work done on it. We were able to load it in the back of the truck and bring it back to Plano for Charlie to work on. We were so happy to do some small thing for the Morells. It seems like they give us so much and that we are not able to give back even a small portion in relationship.

Paul Leatham as the Ward Mission Leader was involved with the confirmation of two convert baptisms today, so we know that he is busy and helping the preaching of the gospel move forward in this area.

I read an article in the Las Vegas Review Journal about the unemployment rate in Nevada. It has gone up again to 14.9%. It said that people have been concerned about how to survive the recession, now they are trying to figure out how to make the recovery that is going on in some areas work to their benefit. One thing that people are doing is moving to other areas, such as Texas! I remember that the first few months after we arrived that people were quite taken back, both members and especially nonmembers, that we would be sent FROM Nevada, who has the highest unemployment rate, TO Texas, who has the lowest unemployment rate. As it turns out, we are helping the people of Nevada, we’re just helping them find jobs in Texas!! (Along with several other states, such as Utah and California.)

Well that about wraps it up for this week. We hope that everyone has a good, safe, productive week. That this week we will all be a little better, stronger and/or smarter than last week. We know that it is through the challenges that we grow and we know the Lord loves each of us and watches over us.

January 9th thru Jan 16th

Aha the fun of Winter.

16 January 2011

Where to begin?? This has been a week of trials and a week of blessings. Thursday we were notified that Kristi & Corey’s home was burning but the most blessed news of all is that they and the 5 children are safe and without injury, we are so very grateful for this. From what we hear it appears the walls are still standing but everything inside is a loss, it will have to be totally gutted and rebuilt. Fortunately they have insurance that will cover most of the cost.

One of the great blessings of our serving a mission at this time is that they have a home to go to. That day Dustin and Jill, along with many other family & friends worked tirelessly to prepare our home for them. Bedrooms were cleaned out to make room for children’s beds and cribs, beds made; ward members and friends brought in the beds, bought some clothes for the kids so they would have more than what was on their backs; the fridge was stocked with groceries, bathrooms with shampoos and soaps etc, etc.

That afternoon Kristi had to James to Mesquite to the ER because of labored breathing. He was diagnosed with pneumonia, after several hours he was stabilized and that night they were able to return to their new home. We are so grateful that he is doing well and that he was well enough to return home that night so all of the family could be together. There have been so many people that have done so much, it is truly humbling. We knew this from the moment we heard the news that there would be many who would be there to help and assist, we know the hearts of our family, friends and the entire community. We are truly blessed.

Friday morning at the Employment Center we had a training that we both attended. Elder Nelson stayed on through the day but I was excused and prepared a Care Package for the Dalley family. It’s one thing to buy Christmas presents and wonder what they would like and what they don’t have but quite overwhelming to consider what to purchase when they are completely starting over. At the same time I became aware of the blessing of them being able to move into our home where there are furniture and house wares and kitchen items. We hope this makes the children feel more secure in being in a home they are familiar and comfortable with. A place where they know the surrounding hills that they have loved to play on and where they have cousins and friends, and even Grandpa and Grandma Whitney close by.

Saturday after the Center closed we were able to attend the temple. We were able to feel peace and the love of our Heavenly Father as we were within those sacred walls.

Saturday evening the Dalley’s called and were able to share with us a special occasion that had taken place earlier. There is a Charity organization that involves the firemen in Las Vegas, it was started by the 911 dispatch operator. During these few weeks and months after Christmas they donate to people who have lost their homes to fire. They find out what Santa had brought to the children and they replace those items. Kristi had told them the special toy that each child had received but they went way over and beyond that. It seems that somehow they sensed what each child wanted but didn’t get and they brought too. The fire trucks came with sirens and horns blowing. At first the kids were quite scared, bringing back many fresh memories. However when they went outside to investigate they saw several fire trucks and an ambulance. The 911 dispatcher was there along with our local crew of volunteer firemen who fought the blazes on Thursday. They began by a ceremony of presenting each of the kids with a badge and fireman’s hat and honorary induction as a firefighter. They also let them climb on the fire trucks, spray water hoses etc. etc. Then they directed them to the stack of brand new toys that they had brought to them. At first they were stunned and didn’t know how to respond but with a little coaxing they were each able to gather their new toys with a smile on their faces. I think their goal of helping the kids work through their fear and trauma associated with sirens and fire trucks was well achieved. Kristi and Corey said that his has helped the kids turn the corner and there is a sparkle back in their eyes. What another marvelous outpouring of love from so many.

This morning we attended church in the Dallas 6th Ward. Both Jack and I had determined that we could keep all of this to ourselves, that we were fine and would be fine and there was no need to tell the story. The Lord had a different idea. It was High Council Sunday today; after the sacrament the Counselor conducting got up and announced that the youth speakers were not able to attend due to some family matters and he called on me to come and bear my testimony – what a shock!! I guess Bishop Robertson leaned over to him after the meeting started and told him to call on me. I don’t think they were expecting what they got, but as the Bishop said to us afterwards, the Lord is in charge of the meetings. As I shared what my testimony is and the circumstances surrounding us at this time, there were many who shared a tear with us. I’m so grateful for our testimony and the testimony of our children that know where to turn in times of trial. It is really in the difficult times that we define ourselves and our testimonies. We are grateful for so many wonderful Christian people who follow in the footsteps of the Savior in caring for those in needs. Even though we didn’t think we needed the hugs and concern of our Ward family here, it was truly a blessing to have so many come up after church and give us a hug and express their concern for us all. Now we have many more friends from Texas uniting their prayers with all of ours. Several even offered money but we told them that we thought their needs were being met.

Once a gain we are grateful to our good friends the Morell’s. Thursday afternoon we visited with them and they helped buoy our spirits during a time of great concern.

Some very, very good news was received from Brian and Jill Thursday evening. Brian was able to go before the water board and petition them about his job. We are so thrilled and grateful that he has been reinstated with out any loss of demotion of any kind. This is such wonderful news!!

And now for a few comments about our work and activities this past week. I mentioned last Sunday that the missionaries were coming over for dinner. We enjoyed a nice evening with them, they are two great missionaries. Because it was snowing that day they were grounded from driving, fortunately they live just next door and were able to walk over. Because all of their appointments were canceled they were able to stay a little longer and share some of their mission experiences with us. It was a very pleasant evening.

Earlier in the week a Bishop from one of the nearby wards came in to the Center job searching. Elder Nelson helped him and visited with him. Come to find out he is very good friends with Malayna Dalley’s first husband, Rich Shipp, and was even his best man at their wedding. They are all from Joseph, UT, which is where Grandma Bonnie Nelson is from. Rich’s mother Joyce is one of Grandma’s good friends. They had a great time sharing stories and acquaintances. After their visit this man emailed Rich to tell him about their visit. Rich was able to share a job lead with him in a company in Idaho that is just what he is looking for. We are hopeful that something good will come of this for this fine man.

A young man, who knows four languages and is working on his doctorate degree, his main interest is artificial intelligence. He called in wanting to make an appointment with someone to prepare for a phone interview he was going to have in a couple of days. I worked with him before and a very pleasant courteous young man but I knew I better have Elder Nelson help him this time. My intelligence struggles just to know what he is even involved with. Their practice interview went well. We haven’t heard how the real interview went.

Sister Gloria Lyle has been out very sick all week so Sister Phelps and I have taken turns covering the front desk. That has kept us pretty busy. I have also spent quite a bit of time entering jobs on the web site, Sister Page will be out for a while now, this last week was her pre-op and next week will be her surgery. As time allows I like to do keyword searches for some of the job postings and find people who have signed on with the particular skills needed, then I call or send them an email letting them know about the job posting and where to find it on the site.

We were able to get together with the Morell’s for dinner and music one evening and Tuesday evening was the Dallas Recorder Society Mtg. Jack is such a good sport to take me over and then just read while I play with them.

It has been very cold this week, gradually warming towards the end of the week. Several days the highs were in the low 30’s. I know many of you have had much colder weather and don’t feel a bit sorry for us but it is unusual for here.

This is the close of our letter this week, we pray for the Lord’s continued love and blessing to be us all. We are grateful for the opportunity to be serving a mission together her in Dallas. It is a great learning experience from many different aspects. We love our Father in Heaven, we are grateful for Jesus Christ and grateful for the power of the Holy Ghost and its guiding influence. May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen us all as we continue in faith.

We have to find some corals and some cattle so we can feel at home

Our Love,

Dad & Mom, Grandpa & Grandma, Jack & Gaye

January 9th 2011


9 January 2011

Snow, Snow, Snow ~ this morning during church it started snowing and it has really been coming down. It’s very pretty -- as long as you’re inside.
This past Monday we had another day off for New Years Day, even though it was the 3rd. We took a little drive out to Graham and Possum Kingdom area. Graham is in the Weatherford Stake so part of the area that we serve. We have had quite a few jobs posted for ‘Possum Kingdom,’ so we were interested in finding out what that was all about. It is actually a pretty area on a lake, there are also hills in that area too.
Since the Center opened back up on Tuesday after the holidays and several days of being closed we have been so very busy. I suppose the start of a new year and people are ready to focus on their job search once again. We have also seen quite a few new college graduates, particularly from BYU-I, that just graduated in December and are now entering the job market, well at least they are hopeful to do so.
Tuesdays we are open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm since the Bishop’s Storehouse is open until 8:00 pm. Therefore the Phelps come in at noon and then stay until 8:00 pm. Gloria is in Arlington that day so I take the front desk that morning. There were 24 phone messages to respond to! This would have been alright if that is all there was to do but there were at least 28 people that came in that day also. It took me 2 days to get back with everyone, but I finally got it done. Two of those phones calls were from member employers who needed to hire someone right away. We were able to contact several candidates and help them get jobs. It’s great when it works out that way!
Wednesday the Phelps had their P-day so Elder Nelson and I were kept very busy that day also. Thursday was our P-day. We invited the Morell’s to go with us to Fort Worth and we visited the Aman Carter Museum. There was a lot of western art in this museum also, my latest favorite. It’s nice to see a painting or a sculpture of a horse, cow and/or some barb wire once in a while if you don’t get to see it in person I suppose. We also went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens – Japanese gardens. It is even beautiful in the middle of the winter.
Wednesday evening we were back to our regular schedule of the Sunbeck Spanish Branch piano lessons. We had a good group and a couple more joined us. The two ladies were very excited to get their own personal keyboards, however one of them doesn’t work so I’m awaiting word as to what I should do about that.
Friday was the Career Workshop, in which I teach the Career Options portion. It lasts 1 to 2 hours depending on the group and their needs. In this group we had a man and wife who had retired from their original careers of twenty years and wondering what to do next. The past year they had been house parents at a boarding school in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Hershey didn’t have any children so 100 years ago as a charity began a school for children ages 4 to 18 who were underprivileged. Once accepted into the program there is no cost of fees at all. It started out for 10 or 20 children, now there are more than 18,000 students. It was amazing to hear about and to know that someone set such a thing up as a service to children. However, their work schedule was a nightmare so they are looking for a new opportunity. So we did all of the activities. They were very appreciative and wished they had been able to do such activities when they were first making decisions of which direction to go in life.
Saturday a previous candidate and Ward Employment Specialist had called in and made an appointment for Elder Nelson and I to meet with a couple of young people. It was a brother and sister ages 21 and 19, friends of the church. Their mother died last spring and they are having a little difficulty finding their way in life right now. So we did the Career Development activities along with helping them sign on to the website and discussing job search skills. We worked with them for more than 3 hours but they wanted it all and wanted to get it done in one day if they could. They were grateful for the help and hoped that we would stay in touch with them.
It was also the New Leader Training Saturday so there were quite a few people in and out and around.
We had a treat at the Dallas 6th Ward today, Paul and Katey Leatham were the speakers, they did such a great job. Paul is the Ward Mission Leader now and Katey continues working in the library. Beth Nelson’s brother, Brother Labrum is the Gospel Doctrine teacher now, today was his first day, he gave a great lesson too.
The Elders that live in the apartment building next door are coming over for dinner this evening so I guess I better start preparing for that.
We sure love and miss everyone. We are grateful for the help and support that you give to us and our family. Our family and the people in the Valley are so wonderful when people need help, we are so grateful.
We pray that the Lord’s blessings will be with you all this week and always,
Dad & Mom, Grandpa & Grandma, Jack & Gaye

Graham-Jacksboro Tx

Parker County Court House, Weatherford TxThe Mineral Springs Hotel of Years gone by
The old Jail in Graham Tx
On February 15, 1877 the city was the site of the organizational meeting of the group that became the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, created to police ranching and put a stop to cattle rustling. Founding officers included pioneer ranchers James C. Loving (son of Oliver Loving), Col. C.L. (Kit) Carter, and C.C. Slaughter. A three-story limestone courthouse was built in 1884, The 1884 structure's east door still stands on the courthouse square.
From 1879-1896,. The town's population grew slowly until 1917, when oil was discovered nearby; the population tripled from 878 in 1900 to 2,544 in 1920. According to a mural on the courthouse depicting the arrival of the Graham brothers, the town square is physically the largest of any in the country.
Graham is also one of only a handful of towns in Texas still to have an operational drive-in theater.
