6-24-13 Big Transfer News

The World Wide Mission training was an amazing meeting. We definitely left that feeling very "pumped up". Plus I think that missionary that gave the opening prayer is now the most famous missionary in the world! I am not sure what changes are in store, I just hope that there is an iPad waiting around the corner!

6-17-13 Father's Day

Dear Family,

Sorry I didn't send anything for Father's Day, It kind of snuck up on me. We went to the Chico state store today to look for some stuff, but it is kind of expensive, so we weren't able to get anything. I hope you had a good Father's Day though. It is interesting because some people when they heard that we didn't get to call home on fathers day thought that it meant that we didn't celebrate father's day in the LDS church. Haha so we had to explain that we did, just no calling home. Anyways I hope all is well. Thanks for being a great dad!  [We did get a picture text from Brother Felix to celebrate Father's Day.]

I am glad that Youth conference was so good. I remember how fun those could be (and not fun too). Well I am glad Lindsay did that sooner than I did; I know it helps a lot. [The youth in the stake were challenged to ready the whole Book of Mormon the three months before Youth Conference.  Both Lindsay and Aimee finished just days before.]

6-10-13 Krystal's baptism

Haha yea that sleeping bag is for Arizona camping;) [Apparently, the backpacking sleeping bag Michael used in scouting isn't as warm as Laura thought.  This past week was YW's Girls camp, and a 20 degree sleeping bag isn't really a 20 degree bag, nor in the 30's.]

6-3-13 Bike tracting with the President

Girl’s camp, exciting! It seems like that is all we have been talking about in the ward councils here, so I definitely still feel like it’s the season for that. I am sure Lindsay will do fine, she seems like she gets along with everyone else well. [Aimee and Lindsay headed up to Heber Valley Camp this morning.  Steve and Laura are going up tomorrow to take the 4th years on an overnight hike.  This is Lindsay's first year without Laura at camp the whole time.]

5-27-13 Zone Conference

Dear Family,

[This past week, Michael's cousin Dave returned from his mission in Romania.  In August, his sister Amanda will head out to serve in North Carolina, and while she is out her younger brother Nathan will overlap a few months.] 

Wow that is a lot of overlap for that family, I am glad they will have at least some time together. 

5-20-13 Fences and Commandments (Snail Mail letter)

Dear Family,

We just finished practicing to sing “We’ll Bring the World His Truth” which we will be singing at Zone Conference on Wednesday. (Which is yesterday when you get this.)  Hopefully all goes well.

5-20-13 Service using all Talents

Dear Family,                                                                          

Thank you so much! I got to try out my shoes this morning, it was great! I haven't gotten any other packages, but we haven't gotten the mail yet today so we will see. Thank you again for all your support.
