Sorry to hear about you bike, but how nice to have good members to help you out when you need it. How is the new bike better than the old one? ITS NOT... ITS BRIGHT YELLOW..SLOW..BUT IT GETS ME FROM A TO B. I HOPE I GO TO THE CAR AREA. BUT I JUST STOPED THINKING AND JUST RIDE IT. FOCUS ON THE WORK. I GUESS THE LORD HAS SOME LESSON IN THIS. I AM SUPER MAD AT ELDER HUMANN. (THE ELDER WHO GOT MY BIKE STOLEN BY NOT LOCKING IT UP.) BUT I FORGAVE HIM... IT WAS SO HARD!!! BUT I THINK THERE IS SOME GOOD ADVICE FOR MISSIONARIES... DONT BY NICE STUFF... GET ONE NICE SUIT FOR MEETINGS AND GET DI SHOES SLACKS AND SUITS. I NEVER WEAR SUIT JAKETS.. JUST SLACKSAND MY RAIN COAT. I AM SAVING MY SOES FOR LATER BECAUSE I GOT A PAIR AT GOOD WILL FOR 6 BUCKS!! SO I JUST WEAR THEM UNTIL THEY ARE NO GOOD. GET WORK PANTS THAT ARE BLACK AND GET ATHLETIC SOCKS NOT DRESS ONES..

Are people in that area thinking that it is going to be a cold winter? YES ITS SOPPOSED TO BE REALLY BAD.. NOT DANGEROUS. BUT LIKE NO CARS DRIVING AROUND.
We are all doing well here and I think that we are being blessed everyday by your service.
Are lesson in Gospel Doc. Was on missionary work and how the lord write things on our hearts and we can't deny what we feel.
What a awsome responsibility that you have right now to make sure that those that are ready will hear it.
Are things going better with Elder Bean? NOT REALLY. BUT WE GET ALONG WELL ENOUGH.. I GOT A NERF GUN THAT I CAN SHOOT HIM WITH FROM THE DESK WHEN HE SLEEPS DURING STUDIES.. AHAHAH. KIND OF LIKE THE BLASTER THAT I USED ON MOM.

Hi!
Did you get my email last week? I didn't hear from you--are you punishing me? Have I been bad? :)
I hope you are doing well. I've noticed that it's pretty chilly up in your area. I hope you are keeping warm!!!
Things here have been pretty good. We are all still recovering from all of our sicknesses. YUCK! Yesterday we went to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was fun. Kasey went with us. You can see a pic on our blog. Other than that we are gearing up for the Thanksgiving week. Casen has a big Thanksgiving play this week. His part and the songs are so cute. He is the preacher and says "Praise the Lord!" I'll let you know how it goes!
Well, I'll spare you the questions this week, since you have not answered last weeks yet. I pasted last weeks email below--so get on that, would ya?
Here is your quote for this week!
"Unless the roots of your testimony are firmly planted, it will be difficult for you to withstand the ridicule of those who challenge your faith."
~Thomas S Monson
Happy Thanksgiving. We love you--and don't eat too much Turkey!
Onnie
Hello Skylar!
How are you doing? How are things in OR? I hope you are doing well.
Things here are going all right. Kaelyn has been so sick and Scott has a little surgical procedure on Friday. I think everyone is on the mend now--at least I hope so. Kelsey and Casen are playing soccer and we watched their games on Saturday. They are so funny to watch. We also had Stake conference this weekend. I was able to go to our adult session--which was very good, but I had to miss Sunday because Kaelyn was not well. Uncle Scott had to preside over the Spanish meeting and translate all of the opening and business for those members. Then he listened to the entire meeting in Spanish (it was a broadcast). I think he really enjoyed it. It was good practice for him too!
Questions for this week:
How are things with your comp? we get along well enough....
Where are you studying in the scriptures now? i am reading in 2 ne. ch 5. and just learning about the prophets..
Do you have any baptisms scheduled? not any that i am anticipating to go through. but i hope 2
How often do you wash your sheets and other bedding? Do you have flannel ones?
Flu season is coming--are you practicing good hand washing techniques? yes i am. its 2 cold for the flew to survive hahaha

When do you get to visit the temple again? not until march.

(sorry to bug about this, but I want to make sure you get them--did the thermal garments get to you yet?)
Okay, well here is the quote for this week (Are you writing these down?) I really love this one:
“The Lord knows who we really are, what we really think, what we really do, and who we really are becoming.”
David A. Bednar
Have a great week! We love you!
Onnie
