A Little Update

Here is a little update from Peter & Lori Lindhardt (from Logan Utah)...I will start with our youngest and end with the oldest in our family.

Adam (5) or A.J. - Adam loves to play all of the outdoor and indoor games with his brothers and sisters. He started kindergarten this year and is very excited to go to school. When Adam says his prayers he always tells Heavenly Father how much he loves his mom, dad, Jesus, and his family. He asks for help to be obedient and to be happy. We love being his parents.

Mason (7) - Mason is our little worker, he loves to be in the yard helping mom and dad. He can't wait until he is old enough to mow the law my himself. Mason is in second grade and doing very well. He sometimes gets a little distracted with his friends and causes a small amount of stress with his teacher. Mason has a smile that is contagious...it makes you smile just looking at him. He will turn 8 in December and is looking forward to getting Baptized in January.

Reiss (9) - Reiss is "do the job right or don't do it at all" child. He wants to do everything the right way. Reiss has many talents...one of them was a surprise to his parents when he stared in the school play in the lead role. We did not know he had it in him. Reiss is doing very well in 4th grade. He has many, many friends who love to be with him. His greatest attribute is the trust the adults have in him. Reiss is a calming influence at home, in school, and in his Church classes.

Olivia (11) - Olivia is still little spark plug in the family. She is very busy doing, creating, talking on the phone, riding her bike, reading, dancing, and playing with her friends type of girl. When Olivia prayers you get the sense that she knows who she is talking too. She carries on a wonderful conversation with her Heavenly Father with a lot of meaning. Olivia is busy in school this year as a 5th grader. She is doing very well in school. Olivia truly loves life and all it has to offer.

Zackary (13) - Zack is soon to be the tallest in the family. He is now 6 feet tall (almost caught up to dad) and we can't seem to keep him in clothes that fit. Zack is a very good baby sitter for his mom and dad. He knows how to have fun with his brother and sisters. They always miss him when he is gone. Someday Zack will be an artist, he has a very creative mind. Zack is doing well with Priesthood responsibilities, without complaining. He loves the charter school that he attends (8th grade). Zack is our straight "A" student who loves to learn.

Ryan (16) - Ryan is working at little Caesars and attending Logan High school as a Junior. He finds plenty of time to play with his friends. We don't get to see him as much anymore. Last month Ryan was ordained to the office of a Priest. It was a very spiritual day for him and his family. He recently got his drivers licence, he is now thinking he needs his own car. Ryan loves to climb the mountain that we live by, he has to keep busy. He has been a good example to his friends in doing things the right way.

Amber (17) - Amber is a Senior this year at Logan High. She is very excited that this is the last year. Amber is very busy with her friends (like Ryan), we don't see her very much around the house. She is the Laurel president that also keeps her busy. Amber has a great personality that brings a lot of comfort to stressed out people. She a beautiful young women with a very strong testimony in the Gospel.

Peter (40) - Peter is working at TTM technologies as the Quality Manager (over 19 years), this continues to be a very good job for him and one that he likes very much. He is currently the Stake Executive Secretary for the Stake Presidency. Working with the Stake President has been a spiritual highlight for the past 2 years. Having a busy schedule is the norm, if it was any different it would not be good. Peter loves his wife and family very much...he is extremely grateful for the Gospel and the spiritual foundation it has provided in his life. He loves to do things with his kids, and working around the house completely the many things on the "to do" list.

Lori (41) - Lori is working in the Lindhardt home keeping things in order, she is definitely the hardest worker in the family. She is currently the Primary President that keeps her very busy. The parents and children love her very much. Lori stays very busy volunteering in the schools and transporting our kids to and fro. She loves to decorate our home...it really is awesome to have things change like they do, it keeps things interesting. Lori has many friends who depend on her, she too has a smile that is contagious (like Mason).

We are grateful for our heritage. We would not be who we are without the foundation that was established many, many years ago. To all of our extended family...we love you...please keep the faith and doing what you are doing...our children (all of our children) depend on it.

Peter and Lori Lindhardt
