HI!
How are you? How has your week been? I hope things are going good for you.
Things here have been very chilly. We've had a cold snap, and for AZ it's been way cold. I don't like it, but I try to remember we still have it warmer than others. Thanksgiving was good. It was a quiet holiday for us this year. We went to the Slade's and had the feast. It was a nice day. Scott just went on an elk hunt with his business partner, Mark who got a big 2 pointer. So that was exciting for them. I don't know if I've mentioned my primary class. I have 13 four and five year olds. It's a fun time! We are learning the names and faces of the first presidency and the quorum of the 12. They are so smart! I can't believe how quick they are catching on. My kids are doing well. I think we are all healthy now, crossing my fingers!
i guess its just that time for everyone because i just got sick too. i have been inside all weekend. trying to get better..
Okay, some questions for you:
How was Turkey Day? it was kind of a dud. the invitation dinner at the ward mission leader house dident go like we planned. only one person showed up.
What are the mission rules for Thanksgiving? have fun and stay safe.
How is the bike situation? i got one from a member. im just spending a little on it for repairs here and there. but i dont plan on spending much on it it will get me by.
Who is your favorite person in the ward to visit? umm. the ward mission leader. he is way chill and hes 22. and bro moore. he takes us for test drives in bmws.
Any wildlife encounters now that the weather is getting colder? it is way freezing.... like 40s and 30s
If you could visit any one historical religious spot for a day, where would you go? um. zarahemla would be sweet.
Okay, now for the quote! Are you ready? Here it is:
"Each of us will face trials and tests, and . . . it is how we react to those difficulties that will determine our success and happiness. Each of us will face adversity no matter where we are. We are taught in the scriptures that there 'must needs be . . . an opposition in all things' (2 Nephi 2:11). We will each face times of difficulty, and the question is not when we will face them but how we face them."
James B. Martino
We love you and hope you have a great week! love you guys!!!
