The Tarwater Heritage

57th Wedding Anniversary!

2009-06-13T22:15:00.000-07:00

For Granny and Pop's Anniversary this year, they had everybody that could make it, get together and do a temple session! It was a great idea, and it was the best feeling having everyone there together. Granny was especially so excited. After the session, even more people meet up at De La Cruz Bistro for lunch. A guy in our ward owns it, and Pop thought it would be fun to try it out. He was right, the food was delicious! I know it was such a special day for them... thanks to everybody that could make it! I know they have had a great 57 years together and we love them so much, I was glad I could be apart of there special day!

This last month Tarwater Elementary was give the award for A+ School! It is a huge honor, and not that many schools in Arizona have been awarded it. The had a big honor assembly to celebrate, and Granny & Pop were on stage and the Principal had them open the banner in honor of this achievement.

Pop's Surgery!

2007-12-04T11:34:00.001-08:00

This is a little late, considering Pop was released from his knee surgery late Saturday night, but better late than never! Pop went in on Thursday to have his knee surgery and it was pretty successful. He had a fast recovery in the hospital and got released late Saturday. He is already moving around fast with his walker at home and is doing great. Thanks to everybody who stopped by and showed their support while he was in the hospital.

Robby's Webpage

2007-10-23T08:25:00.000-07:00

Alot of you may know that Kim set up a webpage for Robby. You have to check it out. Not only is there updated pictures on there, but you can leave posts and Robby can comment back on them. Although he got transferred into the jungle, so it may take him awhile to comment back, I guess he doesn't know if he will have internet access there. Anyways check it out and show Robby some love!

Everybody knows Robby is serving his missing in Africa. Here is a part of the letter Kim & Neal got shortly after he arrived to his area and a picture with his mission president. Also Robby can check his email, so if you would like to write to Robby you can email him at robbytarwater@myldsmail.net. (Sorry I had to print & scan the picture, so it's not super clear!)

Dear Sister and Brother Tarwater,

Just a note to let you know that your son, Elder Robert Neal Tarwater, Jr has arrived safely and is doing well. We are delighted to have him here in the Mozambique Maputo Mission. He just left our home this evening after a welcoming dinner. He will return tomorrow for orientation in the morning and then join his first companion, Elder Cristiano Passos, from Guarulhos, Brazil. They will serve in the Maputo 2 Branch here in the capital city of Maputo.

Your son will learn by firsthand experience the joy of sharing the gospel and serving others. As he is faithful to his call from a prophet of God and obedient to the mission rules he will be helped in learning the lessons and increasing his testimony.

We hope you will write to him weekly, encouraging him as he serves a faithful mission. Mail is much faster if delivered electronically. He will only write once a week on his preparation day.

Thank you for sharing your son and preparing him to serve a mission.

Most Sincerely,
President Blair & Cindy Packard
Mozambique Maputo Mission
