5 Baptisms

my feet feel a lot better the blisters are gone already. my campanion is Elder Plant, he is from Utah! i was suprised, i would send you pictures but i think im a going to fill up my memory on the card first. I hope paige feels better soon! that sounds like Hope wanting to be a big person haha! tell her she will be able to when she gets older haha. it dosent surprise me that dad would want to take my car hehe it does get better gas milage than his. oh that reminds me the driving here is INSANE! they drive on the left side of the road but! there is no lines to stay inside and so everyone just drives on where ever they want to! Tell hope that have seen lots of monkeys, house  cats, dogs, chicken, turkey, ducks, and lots more. i  havnt seen any tigers, lions or stuff like that.  I might end up going on a safari here soon so i might see some. tell her that they wont be leaving for some time now and they still have a few years left haha.

 

     The area is great and we are planing on having at least 5 baptisms this week!  its great, the food here is good i and i am going to make some of the other elders that live in the house next to us some cookies and spaghetti sometime this week. the money here is so diffeerent i feel like i am spending TONS! but i am only really sending about 70 cents  in america sometimes   even less. i went on splits yesterday with some of the ward members, i was hoping that i knew the area well enough i am the the Uganda , gulu , petche area. its a really big area.  i am still learning the area but i know my way around for the most part. 

  I am trying to learn the second language. I figure it can't hurt, right.

you should send some candy and stuff like that so i can show some of the other elder the stuff we have there. oh and some kool aid!  so i dont just  have to drink normal flavored water hehe. (just lots of different stuff dosnt have to be big)  it takes about 4 weeks for packages and 3 weeks for letters to arive here.

Wow, 9 miles! Do you have blisters? How is the work going?

This last week Paige went to Girls camp and got sick the 3rd day she was there.  I took her to the doctors the day she got home and she has strep throat. They gave her a shot in the butt so she would get better faster because Trek is this coming Wednesday. Saturday she said she was feeling a lot better but today (Sunday) she isn't feeling well at all.  I hope she gets better before trek because we bought her real pioneer clothes this time and also some from the D.I of course. She is has been looking forward to going and it would be sad if she had to miss it.  I found Zach a felt cowboy hat to wear and we will see if we can get him to wear suspenders. 

While we were at the church waiting to pick up Paige from girls camp, Hope took my phone.  She saw a picture of you on it and said "Hey that is my brother Braden. Braden, can you hear me." I told her No, you are to far away. so she Yelled "Braden, can you hear me now?"  Wow, she makes me laugh.

We have been going to the Lehi pool a few times a week, to try to get Hope use to the water. She starts swim lessons Monday. She still doesn't like water splashed on her face, so this should be interesting.

I have to kick all of the boys out of the house to play or hang with friends -they would just watch t.v. and play computer games if I don't. But what is new-it happens every summer.

We thought of you on your B-day-hope you did something fun to celebrate.

We pray for you every day-even Hope.

We love you.

Love, Mom
