Good to know that you are doing better with your new companion. Sorry that your stomach is having troubles. How did your meeting go with the mission President and what did he have to say?
Dad has been brave and letting Zach drive him places. He almost ran into Paige's car while Ethan was in the car. Ethan says he is a scary driver. I have to admit-he scares me a little.
Paige was accepted to attend BYU Idaho. She got her track to attend Winter and Spring semesters. She is trying to get a job so she can pay for housing and we are praying that she gets a scholarship there. She didn't even think of going there until her friends brought it up. Yes all 3 of them were accepted but one gets to start fall semester. Don't how ho it will be to have 2 kids away from home at the same time.
Not much more has happened the is week-of course there were meetings. Isn't that the 14 article of faith? We believe in meetings and more meeting?
Oh, I bought a new trampoline off of ebay. We decided it would be for Easter. It only took one week to get here and so I put it together by myself one afternoon. The next day dad helped me put the safety net up. We bought a rectangle one this time and put it down by the swing set , in the hope that it won't blow away. I think we will tie it down anyways just to be safe. They older kids say it is small because the jumping area is only 6' by 8'. But it is better than nothing. Hope loves it. We still need to take the old one down and take it to the dump. It only has about half of its springs left on it. Every time someone jumps on it springs go flying. So it is now off limits.
How are things going with you, your comp and investigators?
Love ya, MOM
Things are going well here in Uganda my companion and i are getting along very well and we have done tons of finding lately. This next sunday i hope that we have lots of people come to church! if they come i will give you a bigger background about the people we have been these past few days. My stomach is feeling better my bowels just didnt want to work or move things through and so i had to eat things high in fiber and take some medication. as long as i take the medication i should be fine until they decide to start working again by themselves haha.
I am glad that i am not home with that crazy driver!!! Who's car is he driving around?? I remember the time i parked super close to the truck once haha that was fun.

Braden,
The branch locks the doors for Sacrement meeting but unlock them after and yes they always do that so, we told them they need to have someone stand at the door to tell people to wait 5mins or to have a note on the door.
Sounds like you are having a interesting time at home having more people stay with you. I hope that the Surgery goes well. i heard zach is playing World of Warcraft again.
Yu must be busy haha
So we had Stake Conference as well this sunday it was really good. However i just found out today that Mission President was looking for me...That cant never be good!!! I dont know why either, i hope he dosnt want to make me a DL or ZL i am fine being a normal missionary. maybe it will be about my last companion but i dont know guess i will found out tomorrow! because thats when wants to meet me. that will make the day a little shorting working which is not good because we have a lot of people to meet I will tell you what happens.
New Companion, Elder Wyatt
How are things going? Who is your new companion? Did you get your package?
It is too bad about your investigator not getting in the building? Do they always keep the doors locked?
This week went by fast. My good friend Pam Bone (Sanders) that I gee up with came with her three kids and spent the night with us. Her son is having health problems and his specialist is in American Fork. (they live in Manti now, so it is quite a drive). It was good to see them and get caught up on things. I went to the temple with Pam and her oldest daughter. I saw the new movie for the first time. It is about 10 minutes shorter than the other one and not as wordy. They reason being that when it is done in many other languages, they didn't have enough time to get it all in unless they spoke quickly. Pam found out that her son has to have surgery, so they will be staying with us again for a few days in March while he is in the hospital.
Today I went to the Timp. 3rd ward conference. It was good as usual. President Spencer is teaching a combined lesson the 3rd hour. It is going to be basically the same in every ward. He gets the class involved with answering questions and giving ideas. So they won't go exactly the same. I might have it down by the 9th ward conference.
The church has changed the women's meeting before conference to a conference that now includes the young women and girls 8 and older. So for this next conference we have the Young Women's and Primary Presidencies helping out. The bad thing is nothing has been planned yet and our {president is out of town for the next week. So needless to say, when she gets back we will be having a big meeting to get everything organized.
The Spencer's new baby is severely deaf and has to have hearing aids already-poor baby. They will have fun learning more sign language, I am sure.
Stay happy and work hard.
Love ya, MOM
Things are going much better, my new companions name is Elder Wyatt he is only 3 months on mission but he knows a lot, i guess you can say its my job to finish helping him adjust to the missionary kind of life haha. He is from mississippi
I did get the package THANKS!!! cant wait to eat it all :) haha dont worry i cant eat it all to fast my stomach is having a hard time with American food now....OH boy...This will be interesting coming back home.
Oe ugly spider!
Braden doesn't send many pic's home, so it is always nice to get a few. And then it is iffy if we should post them or not. Africa has very strict rules about pictures. The pictures belong to the person that takes them, even if they are on your camera and you ask them to take them. So if we know they were taken by an U.S. citizen we can post them.
