Sounds Great, to be honest i never really liked the old bishop I know its bad but i cant help it. oh well at least i dont have to worry about it. Sounds like it will be a good bishopric. So we do get to watch confrence here but not when it is brodcast we get to watch it a month after we get to watch it on a DVD and they they play it on a projector at the church. We went to Chobi again today thats the 2nd time i got to go to a World First Class area. I have so many pictures to show you i just need a way i can send them. Hope would love some of them!!!! i know she would. Oh Ugandas Independence day is coming up on Oct 9 and from what i have been hearing from ward members and investigators is that its going to be full of parties and lots and lots of drunk people and they also tell us that is a not a really good day for us missionaries to be out teaching people. People are going to be doing some crazy things! oh and i am starting to devlope some ugandan habits i guess is what you could call them. i am starting to roll my R's (i had help with that in spanish class) and i have fugierd out a finger thing i will just have to show you when i get back AHH at the end of next transfer i will be 6 Weeks on my mission or in other words 1/4 of the way done with my mission! i am learning the language here really fast its close to spanish so its easy to learn.
sorry for the bad english time was running out so i didnt have time fix a lot of stuff and i started to just start typing thats why words are spelled wrong. hope you have a good day

Oh, and we got a new bishopric. Bro. Gooch is now bishop. His councilors are Bro. Bullock and Bro. Clark. No one even knew it was going to happen. We went to church and the Stake Presidency was all there and we wondered what up.> Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:18:21 +0300
so me and the elders decided to play vollyball with some of the locals
and we were slottering them. they wernt so happy about that. it was a
lot of fun seeing them get upset, we had to tell them many times we
are just playing for fun. after the first few games some more people
came and played with them and they got a lot better. close to the end
of the last game one of them spiked the ball really hard hit me in the stomach it hurt for maybe 4 seconds and then i was fun.....good thing i have been working out me stomach a lot! almost every day. i guess
you could say that i have a 6 pack. we will see if i can keep it on
the mission.

Glad to hear you are doing so well. Just retract what has been done
before, you always find someone that wasn't home the first time or has decided to
let you in. So Dad decided he missed the hospital so much that I had to take him to the ER last Sunday-they kept him in the hospital until Thursday.
He is home now and doing better. He has to be on oxygen 24/7. So we have a machine in our house that changes the air to oxygen and he has a long cord
that makes it around the house, even to bed. He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow and hopefully can get off of it.Grandma and Grandpa Erickson came to help out.
Grandma and Grandpa R came and helped do yard work. They picked buckets
and buckets of tomatoes, a few green peppers and hot peppers. So I went to the store to buy onions and a few spices and made 18 pints of salsa. It went pretty fast with the help of Grandma E. Maybe I'll hide a bottle so you can have some when you get home.
The kids are still doing well in school and helping out extra around the house because of all of the craziness that has been going on. Hope has
the hospital pretty much memorized now. But hopefully we won't have to go back for a very long time.Love, Mom

So has anything new happened? How are your investigators? Any baptisms ?
Most of all, is driving crazy over there? I haven't sent your ctr rings yet.
I special ordered them and they came in the mail. With all of there craziness going on here-I haven't made it to the post office. Dad was doing well until last night. I took him to the ER after I got home from church.
He is back in the ICU. The blood clots in his lungs have gotten bigger instead of dissolving. So he is on new blood thinners and they are
running
tests to see why this happened. Maybe he just loves the hospital so much that he had to go back. Me- I'm pretty tired of it.
Parker and I made his pinewood derby car and it actually did well. He
took
1st place between the cars he was on the track with. He came in 8th place.
Not to bad. There where 18 cars entered. I send a pic.
We all laugh at Hope. Her new favorite thing is watching "don't mine at night" songs on U tube. She knows all the words to 3 of them. And for Halloween she wants to wears dads scary monster mask . She is such a hoot.
Paige said that was funny About something. Hope said,"No, that's hilarious.
Paige told her, your a hilarious being-Hope replied, I know. Also, Hope
was trying to get Paige's attention and kept saying Paige. Paige didn't
respond, so Hope called her Pibz and she answered. Too funny.
When I figure out the pictures stuff I will send them.Love you, MomP.S.
Here's a big HUG!
