Hi Skylar!
Hope you are doing well. It was so fun to talk to you on Mom-day. You sounded so good!
Things here are going well. We had a great trip to Disneyland--just got back Friday. The kids LOVED it and it was so much fun to see their excitement for everything. I will send you some pics as soon as we get settled here again. Yesterday we had the opportunity to attend the temple marriage of one of the young women I was over. It was such a neat experience. Her new husband seems so sweet and they are a darling couple. We felt so blessed to share that day with them. We are also very excited to attend Jentry's wedding here very soon. The temple is such a blessing and I have a strong testimony of forever families and the power of the marriage covenant--it's awesome!!! This week looks to be busy for us as Casen has end of the year school activities, we say goodbye to some dear friends who are moving and have an unexpected stake conference. Our stake presidency is being reorganized and because Uncle Scott sits on the high council he has an appointment to meet with the visiting general authority. The General authority will pick the new stake president from a group of about 15-20 men--exciting stuff.
Well some questions for you:
How many pairs of socks do you have? I JUST GOT 4 PAIRS TODAY!!
Is it still raining? NO IT IS SUNNY TODAY.. BUT THE RAIN WILL BE BACK IM SURE
Who is your favorite person in your new area? ELDER SHONEFELD!! AND THE RAFAHIS!!
Does your companion snore? NOPE!!!
Now that you are living with members--what time do you have to be home at night?SAME TIME 9
Do you have a separate living area from them? YA WE LIVE IN TEH BASEMENT.. WE CALL IT OUTER DARKNESS
If you had the opportunity to meet Joseph Smith and he could take you to one spot and answer your questions about what happened there--where would you have him take you??? KIRKLAND TEMPLE..
Now a quote:
“May we show our love and appreciation for the Savior’s atoning sacrifice through our simple, compassionate acts of service.”
—Elder M. Russell Ballard
We love you! Take care.
