A little insight I had a few weeks ago about visiting and home teaching is that I figured it is very similar to being missionaries. They give you a companion and you have "Investigators" (families) that you go and see and teach. I thought it was interesting.

I am not surprised that Brother Miller is the seminary teacher again. He was a pretty awesome teacher, and probably still is. I think he is perfect for the job too.

It is soooooooooooo exciting that Josh and Sammi are going to be getting sealed. And just a couple months away.. I am soo happy for them though. I will have to tell them that.

 Congratulations to Brittany as well.  What is her last name now? Isn't Waynick or something? I don't remember who it was she was going to get married to. And I am absolutely in agreeance that Sister Berry is Absolutley Amazing!

 Training is going Great. My Companion Elder Hancock is doing really well and is already a top notch missionary.

 

It is crazy that Zach is already in High School and that he is going to be in Seminary as well. Holy Smokes! Time is flying by! I bet he is really excited to be waking up at 5 in the morning though. hahahaha. I think he will really like seminary. If he is anything at all like the rest of his brothers, he will probably be giving quite a bit of the input as well. I really think that this is going to be one of the greatest things ever for him. Seminary helped me to grow so much, and I am sure it will be the same way for him.

I hope you all have fun. Love you all.

Love,

It is great to hear from you again about the family. Gabe certainly sounds to be improving, as well as Zach and Grant. It is sad to hear that Ukazoo is closing down and will be weird to get back home in the future and see that it isn't there any longer.

 I am not surprised that Zach has been going to grants to work out. That kid is crazy like that. I do feel it's a good thing that he is doing it, and that it will help out with the whole Martial Arts program. It will be interesting to hear how he improves from all of the exercise that he is going to be doing.

Also, when is Grant's next fight coming up? And do you have any pictures from it? That would be cool to see how he was doing and also to see how he improves in the next one he goes to. I feel as though he could be the guy that could fight a fight without getting hit. That is just the kind of guy he is. He is definitely quick enough and proficient enough for it.

How is everything else going at home? Are there any activities planned for the upcoming days or weeks? How is the weather? Is it still really hot, or has it cooled down yet? How is the ward doing? How about the missionaries over there? Do they have anybody that is coming close to baptism yet? Have there been any recent converts in our ward?

That probably is a lot of questions so I will cut them short for now. I can however e-mail some pictures today. I still have to go get a card reader/ adapter from radioshack or something like that.  I will send a few pictures over today.

Love,
