Hello to you!
How are you? Did you have a good b-day? I attached a picture of Kaelyn, your "birthday twin" while we were singing to her. I think she had a great day. Hope you did too. Wow, you are coming up on one year this week--it's all downhill from here! Good for you.
Things here have been really good. Last week was a very busy week, and this one looks to be busy too. We are heading to SLC for Jentry's wedding this week. It should be really great. I'll try to remember and send you a pic. I had a great visit with your dad this past week, and the kids had fun with Kasey. I only got to see your mom and Kylee briefly, but all seemed well. The shop is darling, and it was BUSY when I was in there, so that's a great sign.
Okay, now for the drill:
Do you wear a hat or helmet when you are on your bike? HELMAT ALL THE WAY The kids want to know if you have the pictures they drew for you hanging up? I HAVE THEM IN A FOLDER. I TRY NOT TO HANG UP TO MUCH STUFF..
The kids also want to know if you ring your bike bell often? IT IDOSENT GO ON THE ROAD BIKE.. IT AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE TAT ONE OUT
What did you have for dinner last night? ROAST BEEF AND POTATOS
Having been out one year, do you feel smarter than this time last year? I ACTUALY DO!!!
How is the singing going? PRETTY GOOD.. DO YOU TEACH THAT?? ANY TIPS? I AM BREATHING RIGHT BUT IM NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN DO.. IT SOUNDS LIKE I GET SOMTHING CAUGHT IN MY THROAT..
Did you have cake for your b-day? NO
Who do you go on splits with? THE OTHER MISSIONARIES IN THE DISTRICT
Which woman from the scriptures do you most admire? EVE! THE MOTHER OF ALL.
This is such a great quote--hope you love it too:
"You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right. Your personal conscience always warns you as a friend before it punishes you as a judge."
~ Richard G. Scott
Skylar, we are so proud of you. The work you are doing is so important, and you are exactly where the Lord would have you be. You will never regret these two years of your life. Enjoy your last year as a full-time missionary. Uncle Scott says it goes way too fast.
We love you!
Onnie
LOVES!!
