Braden,
How are things? Is the weather any warmer? Did you get rid of the mice and roaches? Any baptisms?
Hope you are doing well. You really should eat more than one meal a day. That isn't very healthy and hard on your body. So, eat two.
This week was pretty good. Dad even made it back to work on Wednesday. The end of this week is fall break but Dad has no time off. So, we will have to find something fun to do around here.
Conference was great. A lot of good messages. Hope even sat pretty quiet through most of it. She did ask if one of the speakers was a bad guy. Wow, she makes me laugh. Yeah, we invite bad guys to talk to us at conference-that might be interesting.
I bought you a new camera and food and other things that I am sending to you on Monday. I was going to do it Saturday but forgot the post office closes early that day. Let me know if you like the soup mixes. I will probably send another box of things in mid November.
Love you lots, MOM
Things are going well here a lot has happend this last week one of the elder got food poisoning and we had to take him to the hospital and he has only been here in Uganda for 3 weeks i was nervous but who wouldnt be. The weather here is getting a lot Warming but now that i get to drive everyday i dont mind haha i am lucky haha. it stays in the mid 90s in the middle of the day and drops to about 70 in early mornings and let evenings. we have cought about 10 mice and have killed about 200 Roaches haha. we know there are still more mice but they are in hiding now they fear us a lot. and let me tell you we have come up with some very clever ways of catching them and even killing them. haha. We have been doing a lot of serves lately and doing a lot of digging. I know eatting one meal a day is not good so i havnt been doing it. its hard to make good food because it all takes time to cook and time is something we just dont have unfortuneatly :( Thanks for sending the Camera and food :) i cant wait! Oh and if you havnt sent the package yet can you send my Call of Duty Sun glass's as well oh and in way they wont break :) thanks :) they should be in the my car unless you took them out. it might be good to send a case for the camera as well so it wont get scratched. THANKS SO MUCH! Its also good to hear that dad is doing better! if i get time i will send you another email but i need to email Mission Pres really fast.
OH and the Mission Pres. is coming to work with us this week! its kinda scary oh well. there is nothing to fear. he did say in one of his meeting that we should not be supprised that he would just show up one day and work with us. but that was like a week ago i didnt expect it to be that fast. He is a great guy. he even know the area where we live. you know the Days that lived in the old house on the corner on 3200? he knows them, i dont know if he knows that the days moved though guess i can ask him when he comes and find out.
Braden,
So, how did it go spending the day with the mission president? You get to drive in that crazy place-wow. Be careful. I am putting a second package together to send to you. It will have your sunglasses, knife, card games and food. If you think of anything else you need, let me know.
We find out in church today that our ward gets to go to the new stake center just down the hill from us. We are supper excited. We are having an open house Thursday night and Saturday Morning. The stake presidency for each organization are in charge of telling about that organization with short talks, video's posters etc. So, of course I will be in the Relief Society room. We then get to start attending that building on Oct. 27th. We still don't know when the building will be dedicated.
It sounds like you are finding good investigators to teach. Martin sounds like he would be a good ward missionary. I bet he can find you more people to teach. It is amazing how many people you have been able to teach and baptize already. Keep up the good work. Remember to take time to rest and get plenty of sleep.
This week was fall break. We just hung around home and did fun things together and with friends. I'm taking the kids to the $1 movies tomorrow for the last day of break.
Paige received her patriarchal blessing today. It was very inspiring and long. I can't wait to see just how long it is typed on paper. He even talked about what an amazing teacher she will be on her mission. You are such a good example to your siblings and to me. Hold strong to your believes and your testimony, it will get you through the hard times.
Oh, and if it is hot, drink lots of water. Even drink some on fast Sundays if you are out about for a long time. I know God understands the human body. Better to be safe than to get dehydrated.
*When you don't feel like praying, pray until you do!*
Love, Mom
Sweet Thanks so much for sending the Packages it will be very nice. the elder that wants the rings has been bugging me for the past few weeks about them haha, i told him he is just going to have to be patient and i told him patience is a virtue haha he laughed for a few minutes and then said alright. i have seen a lot of amazing things here in uganda but they have all been to far to take pictures of. for example i saw a bald eagle in a tree to day that was not to far i pulled out the camera to take a picture and on the camera it looked like a small dot haha. i am going to buy a card reader so i can send pictures next week if i still have some money from the allotment from the email i got to day it sounds like i will still have enough. but not by much. I didnt get to tracted with President i did however with the AP's that was very interesting they said we are doing well and to keep up the hard work. the Mission Pres is a great guy he is really funny and is doing a great job. you the Todds of course well the people that lived in the house before they did (the Days) he knows them!! we got into a discussion about where we lived it was really cool and scary HE KNOWS WHERE I LIVE!!!! haha just kidding its really cool.
You know i thought that dad would end up taking my car to work when i left seeing how it gets better gas mileage on it haha is the knife really in the car? hmm i dont remember putting it there but if the leatherman is there i guess that it is there. i cant wait to get them. so i am asuming that you took over dads car from what i understand from grandmas E email haha.
You would laugh at the email she send me from what you tell me she didnt do a lot of work and from what she told me she did i love hearing 2 different sides of the story haha.
Yeah driving here is a little hectic but there is not much i can do about that. i am going to have a hard time again driving a automatic car again....oh well cant help that.
For the package i could use a few needle nose pens and some regular ones as well i have had 3 of them die on me already and i found out that 2 of them are art pens that bleed through paper like crazy.
Thats Awesome that you get to go to the new church building i bet it will be very nice in it. The branch here where i am NEEDS A LOT OF WORK!! the branch presidentcy are the Sunday only type of people and i guess you can say the us elders end up correcting a lot of things and then end up recorrecting the same misstakes i guess it will just take time.
I always have 4 liters of water in the fridge so when i get home every night i drink a lot of water. we are about to go into the dry season here where it gets a little hotter and it doesn't rain as much. my allergies are starting to act up as well but thats why i have all the different kinds of meds. haha.
I will probably get to watch Conference with in the next few weeks. Transfers are also happening on tuesday cant wait.
Hope all is going well for you guys and thanks so much.
