The week has been going very well. Transfers happen this tuesday/wednesday. The new Mission pres. is Pres. Chatfield, he is a great guy and is very excited to work with us all.Yes he is from UT. we also found out that elder bednar and the person over the mission area is also going to be coming down to uganda!! i Cant wait!  I hope you get felling well soon. That sound like Ethan alright, it sounds like you are having a hard time keeping the fish alive though you must be doing somthing wrong! haha jk.  The stake pres talked thats awesome! he always gives good talks and is a great guy. wait so paige and ethan are getting temple recommends? thats great! I wish i had temple close to Uganda so we could go there but we dont have one yet. Wait a sec did you say ethan is counting down the days to go to school?! thats not like him at all but i guess i could see why he is excited it is Jr. High after all.

 

So i had a wonderful idea about sending pictures not sure its something you want to do though.  my idea was that you could send me a USB cable that i can plug my Memory card into the computers here so i could send you pictures through email. that way you dont spend as much money mailing the memory card back and forth. I was also resently told that the mission pres. doesnt like us (missionaries) sending packages home but he doesnt mind us reciving them. i was also told that if you want to make sure the package will make it here you should tape pictures of Christ on the box's and us the Post Office boxes. It would also be nice if you could send some Scripture Highlighters (many colors) and some measuring cups i could use to make food. OH FOOD! email me some recipies that i can use to make food. you dont have to send the measuring cups but i would be nice so i dont have to guess the amount im putting in.
you dont need to send those things but if you do end up sending the Cable it would nice to get the other things as well.

How was your week? Did you get transferred or a new companion?  Who is your new mission Pres, and is he from Utah

Remember when you got your shots the nurse said she thought that she had meet the new mission Pres and his wife?

This last week was hard on me. I have another dumb sinus infection so I took it easy.  I did manage to take the 3 younger kids to seven peaks for a few hours.

Ethan has been saving his money and decided that he wanted a shark. Yes, a shark.  So we bought a 20 gallon fish tank that he has finish earning. He bought some fish that look like sharks but they eat algie. He also bought a bala shark that can get up to 24 inches long.  I let the other kids buy fish that were $1 or less. The shark died and then so did others.  We treated them with fish med's but more died.  So we then went back and bout more.  2  of them have died two but are covered so we get to take the dead fish on and get new ones.  I don't know how I get myself into these kind of things. More pets to take care of.

The Stake Patriarch spoke today in sacrament  meeting and was very inspiring.  Paige scheduled a meeting with the bishop so she can get hers.  Ethan also has an appointment so he can get his temple recommend to do baptisms for the dead.

Ethan is counting down the days for school to start. He is excited about going to Jr. High.  I on the other hand would love to add a few weeks of summer. Ya know, sleeping in, relaxing, having fun and NO homework to help the kids with.  But I guess, I can't stop it from coming.

LOve, Hugs and Prayers for you,  MOM
