We've Made it; Thank you.

This weekend we accomplished the daunting task of getting into the new house. We had so much help from the ward, it was ridiculous. We started about 8:15 and were done by noon.

We got up at 6AM and dressed and fed the kids. Roxann dropped me off at U-Haul at 7:15, picked up 2 dozen doughnuts for our movers and dropped the kids off with Cammie Walker. I got back to the apartment a little before 8. Grandpa Westmorland showed up at 8AM sharp. We waited for about 15 minutes and then our home teacher, Bro. Cloward and his wife showed up and we drove to the storage unit. I was a little worried that no one would show up, but by the time we got to the unit, at least 6 more people showed up. Chris Westmorland, Mike Arnold, Dave Fite, Mike Stuteville, Owen Fisher, a couple of others whose names escape me (sorry). We had the truck loaded in about 15 minutes and then drove to the new house to unload. By the time we got there, the Beyal family was there along with the younger Kelberer kids. All in all, I think that we had between 15 and 20 people helping. We moved to the apartment to load the rest of the stuff. We had a line of people stretched up the stairs handing down boxes and furniture. The truck was loaded in approximately 30-40 minutes. When we got to the house, we backed the truck up to the front door. By this time, I think we had reduced our force down to about 10-15 people. We had a line stretched down each hall and we called out the destination of each box as it was handed out. Roxann and Sister Cloward got real chummy. She speaks very little English, but is from South America and speaks Portugese. She taught Roxann some phrases. Roxann has been practicing them all weekend. With the truck unloaded, the guys helped up position that beast of an entertainment center. Good news. It was out of square due to our last move. Now it is back in square from moving around this time. Awesome. David took me back to U-Haul. I got the truck back with 10 minutes to spare. While I was gone. Sister Liddell and her kids came over and helped Roxann unpack the kids' rooms as well as put the beds together. Later that evening they brought us dinner.
We are so blessed to live in and be a part of our ward. I am so glad that we were able to stay. The outpouring of love and help has been a real blessing. It is a strength to our testimony of the gospel and charity. Thank you all so very much. We love you all.

Spencer, Roxann, and the kids.
