Hello You!
How are you doing? Are you staying warm and dry? It looks like it's been cold, cold, cold there. It's be really chilly here too. Globe got about 6 inches of snow! And it froze hard at our house. Plus lots of rain for AZ. I'm not liking it much!
We had a pretty good week. I hurt my back and had to spend a few days recovering, then we had a big New Years party with the Slade's. It was fun, and I'm glad that it's done now. Kelsey is back to school today and Casen is back to preschool tomorrow--hallelujah!! Scott had a quiet few weeks, which is nice for us around the holidays.
I've attached some info for you here. I don't know if you will want a paper copy of it or not, so I'll print it and put it in the mail too. It's just some things that might help you out a bit.
Okay a few questions for you!!!
How was New Years, did you do anything fun?WE PLAYED GAMES AT THE CHURCH WITH SOME OTHER MISSIONARIES
How are things going with your comp? THEY ARE GOING GOOD BUT WE ARE HAVING ONE OF THE DOWN TIMES RIGHT NOW.
Any goals for 2011? WORK!! WORK!! WORK!!
What is your new apartment like? IT IS NICER. GOOD HEATER!!
Are you still riding a bike? --What happens when the weather is bad--do you walk instead?wE RIDE ALL THE TIME
What will you do for p-day today? DOWNTOWN PORTLAND!!
Okay, now a quote for you:
"Our understanding of and faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ will provide strength and capacity needed for a successful life."
