Sorry you didnt get the pictures i will try to send them again. Sounds like you had a interesting week though. I think its kinda funny how when you try to make a car good it doesnt but when you dont try it does really well haha. so the most interesting thing that really happened this week is transfer news, turns out i will be staying in the same area and will be serving with a new companion. There is also bad news to transfer news as well. there will be a elder coming to the house that like to joke around way to much!!! i was around him in Gulu and now i will have to be around him again!!! its going to be along 6 weeks.
Always be ♮
So my companion is still sick and he is expected to stay sick for a
few months it will take time for his body to fight it. so until then
we are on the nap schedule........not really that fun. He has tetnis
luckly he had his shot so the effects of it were not as bad as it
would have been. He said he is going to try to work all week this week
so we will see what happens i dont think he will be able to because he
has been struggling these past few days. besides that the ward has
started to help us a little and so we have people to teach again. but
slowly they are also leaving so i guess we just have to work even
harder before they all run away. Sounds like school is a blast so
far. Sounds like the normal UT weather haha it did something similar
not to many years ago. i think i will let the picture explain what
happened here... i never thought it was possible though guess it is!!!
Sounds like you had a fun time camping hope still looks like a big
girl haha. just hope she doesnt remember the day you said i would be
home or you might not ever hear the end of it haha. we had have
interviews with president again that went well nothing really excited
happend though, although we did have some of the Senior couples come
and teach some of the elder how to cook Crapes and Alfredo sauce haha
oh also tortillas as well. to bad I already knew how to make it :(
guess i will just have to make it more interesting some how. So the
______________________________Hey Braden,What's up? We missed the pictures…so remember to send them. How was your week? Anything exciting or interesting happen?I forgot to tell you last time… Parker received the Religious knot, Weblos badge and compass and arrow point And the ARROW OF LIGHT at the last Pack meeting. It was also the pinewood derby and he got to race again. We thought last year was his last time…so nice of them to do it on his birthday. He and dad whipped the car together really fast and guess what? It came in 4th place out of all of the cars. No more boys in Cub scouts now. Parker is now in New scouts and likes it. Both Ethan and Zach are very close to getting their life…then they can do their Eagle project. Hopefully we get them that far.This weekend was Stake Conference. All of the talks were on Hastening the work. They had a returned sister missionary talk about how it is really helpful for the members to do the finding and the missionaries to do the teaching. More people get baptized that way. All of the speakers had great messages.It was Regional Conference so we got to watch it live from the Stake center. Russel M. Neilson, Richard G. Scott, Elder Clayton and Sister Stephens spoke. They all spoke on different topics but it all tied into having your own testimony of Christ. Sink your roots down deep so you will be firm and immovable when trials come.They also talked about sharing our spiritual talents with those around us.Russel M. Neilson spoke about the Ogden temple being rededicated next week and that we should prepare ours selves by doing family history work. He also spoke about Angels and how we believe in them. He spoke about Joseph Smith and the angels that visited him. He touch on the angels that are spoken of in the scriptures and how they are messengers of good news. He ended by telling us that we can be angels on earth by giving angelic service-loving acts of kindness to those around us.A lot of good information and a lot to think about. General conference is fast approaching and i can't wait to hear all of the good news they have to share.Hope was talking to Paige this week and asked her if she was earning money for college. Paige said yes, Hope quickly ran up stairs..opened up her piggy bank, poured all of the mont into it and brought it to Paige and told her that it was for her college. What a sweet girl she can be.I hope you are doing well and things are going good.Love ya MOM

On 9/8/14,
Braden,So I wrote you 1,000 word email last week and you didn't even write
me back.
wait-no I didn't. I only thought about it cause we were camping and didn't. Poor Paige and Zach almost didn't survive not being able to text for 3 days.
We went camping for Labor day. And we dealt in a tent. Although we did have
restrooms with flush toilets but no showers. So we all came home pretty ripe and
smelly.
We camped at a place called current creek camp ground. It is about an hour drive from Strawberry Reservoir. We actually went to Strawberry one day and rented a pontoon boat to go fishing. It wasn't such a good day to go…very windy and rough waters. We had a fish finder but all of the fish were down really deep. We didn't catch anything. Guess who got sea sick? Yup, me! So after a few hours out we came back in without any fish.The waves kept spraying up over the boat and soak all of us. Poor Hope said that we should call an airplane that lands on water to come save us. She told me that we should never get on a boat again.
We then went back to camp. Did I mention, we dealt in a tent? One night the wind blew our tent part way down and dad had to fix it. Sound familiar, at least it didn't break. The kids decided to put on skits for us. They turned out pretty funny. Silly Zach, found Hope rain coat and decided to wear it
around. It was hilarious.
We bought 3 bundles of wood from the camp store. The wood burned really fast. So we sent the kids out looking for wood. We all took turns going and collecting it. It kept us busy. This guy camping across from us showed up with wood that he had brought and told us that he couldn't watch us anymore. aIt was pretty funny.
We found out that chipmunks love poppy seed muffins. We watched them eat one that had been dropped for over an hour. And decided that they were probably getting high and addicted to the poppy seeds. It was a fun experience even though we dealt in a tent.
Do I sound like Lehi yet?
Hope turns 5 tomorrow and she is soooo excited about her Birthday and present and of course a party with friends. She had me make a birthday list for her sand this is what was on it…pierced ears like Paige. A bookshelf like Ellies, A lamp, an alarm clock, and finally a scooter. Does this sound like a normal 5 year old birthday list-nope. Silly girl. I took her to the mall on Saturday and got her ears pierced because we will be to busy on Monday to do it. She didn't cry but did say her ears were sore and painful.
The sister missionaries in our ward are doing an church open house every Thursday. I helped with one a few months ago. But know they do it on their own for investigator's and anyone wanting to see the inside and know more.
Our war is now in charge of cleaning the building twice a week so it will look nice when people come through. We helped out on Friday. I was amazed at all of the people that showed up to help. There were probably 20 of us.
I think that is a record.
I hope that you are doing well and have lots of people in your teaching pool. Keep busy and enjoy the sights while you are there. How is your comp. doing? What does he have? It doesn't sound good. I pray every night that you won't get sick. I know all to well how that is in a far away country.
Love you lots, MOM
