That is awesome that you got to see one of Meagan's practices! I miss
those late night practices so much! The only thing I would have change
is making it so that you did not have to pick me up so late... Thanks
for everything that you have done for all of us kids!
My thanksgiving was pretty good! Got to play volleyball instead of
having a turkey bowl! (I missed the traditional turkey bowl:( ! Sounds
like the Thanksgiving was really fun there! No stories that stand out!
And my transfers are in 4 weeks! The week right after Christmas, and I
will most likely be moved. My comp right now has 1 more transfer after
this one. It will be hard to leave this area, but at the same time I am ready to
go! I was actually planning on getting some vitamin C today and also Vit
D. I have found that this Arizona boy gets really sad when I don't see
or feel the rays of the sun for days/weeks at a time.
I love you so much Mom! I hope that you have an amazing fantastic week!

This week was pretty good overall! I was sick for a good portion of it
so that wasn't good, but I did get the stuff that you sent home with
the Burketts! Thanks so much! It was just what I needed to lift my
spirits! Especially since the day after I got really sick and had to
stay in all day. I would say that getting that stuff was by far the
best thing that could have happened this week!
The home auction sounded like fun! I will probably experience one at
some point...
It is great to hear that Heidi is growing up! A year ago, I could see
her not even wanting to try something like that! I only wish I was
able to see some of this growth with my own eyes, but that time will
come!
Sorry to hear that you have had a headache for the last couple of
days! We have been headache buddies together! I hope that you are able
to feel better!
Oh and it is pretty funny how Meagan said "the sisters turn everything
into a miracle :)" It is so true! I wish that I had sisters in my
district because they bring a sense of hope and optimism that the
elders don't always have. I have found that Miracles are everywhere
and it is not hard to turn "everything into a miracle", but that it is
hard to remember to do so all the time! It all comes down to being
grateful for the gifts that God has given us, and sisters are
typically really good at that! Haha
Thanks again for the package! I loved it so much, just what I needed!
I may try and use the home card today(just for something small) due to
the last time I used it forever ago, it had a hard time scanning it.
After 6 or 7 tries it was finally able to read it, so I want to check
to see if it is the card or if it was the machine that had a hard
time!
I love you so much! You are amazing! I hope that you have an amazing week!

First, thanks for the pic and the funny! I loved it! It made me laugh! It is getting cold here! I have worn thermals a couple of times already! Haha, but it is still okay, I am still alive! Thanks for writing down your thoughts and the quotes from Elder Hollands talk! I love it! Thanks for the update on everyone! It is crazy how old the girls are getting! They are growing up so much! I love you so much! I hope you have a great week!

Love

First, I wish I was experiencing the cold there, instead of the cold
here! It is 46 degrees outside right now, and it is 10:30, the high
today here is about where your low for the day is (we are allowed to
have a weather app so I compare Gilbert to Bedford;)... I miss the
heat! :) that is awesome about going out with the sisters! That is a
really awesome idea about the inactive sisters and the rescuing! I
can't wait to hear how it turns out! That is awesome about the
regional stake conference! Yeah, I got an email from the bishop
inviting me to it! :) We had stake conference,
and the Internet was out in our building so instead of watching a
broadcast, we listened to it through a phone... A static connection
haha, but it was still really good (plus we did get to go to the stake
center the night before for the adult session, so not all of it was
through the phone, haha! Can't wait
to see see the pictures of the painted rooms! And don't worry
about selling my stuff, if you are going through my room and you're
like... "why would he need this", just ask and I will probably say...
"I don't remember even having that." As long as I have clothes and
some stuff when I get home everything will be fine. One thing, if you
haven't already sold it, you could sell that bench that I have in my
room. If you are using it in the home gym then don't sell it, but feel
free to sell it if it is just sitting there! I love you so much mom!
You are the best! I hope you have a fantastic week!

November 2nd 2015

Not all that much happened this week! "Time in" was really long. I did
not like it very much at all. Halloween night I was so tired, so it
was a blessing that we weren't walking around. I didn't get time to
make the syrup, but I will be making it this week! I will be taking
pictures too ;) it sounds like Meagan had a good time with Parker! I
miss walking around on Halloween night! I never liked to get candy,
but I still miss it for some reason!
We don't have a whole lot planned for this week, but we have some
service and a few lessons with some less actives. A lot of this week
will be finding, so I hope it goes well!
I love you so much! I hope you have an amazing week! The best ever!

This week was pretty good! We didn't do any service:( but we have a
couple of days this week where we are able to so that is cool! Yeah,
the biscuits I made were pretty good! The only reason that I took the
picture is because I realized I need to take more pictures, haha! I am
a little proud of actually making them even thought they were easy...
Flour, baking powder, salt, oil, and milk. I have come to enjoy
cooking, Even if I don't have too much time to practice! If you have
any ideas on something I should try to make let me know! We will have
to be in our apartment by 6 instead of 9 Thursday and Saturday.
Saturday because of Halloween and Thursday because Bedford has their
trick or tweet set up for that night so we have to be in then as well!
So I will have a little more time to possible make something in small
breaks from cleaning and planning (the two things we were told to do
during those time;) I haven't tried making the syrup again yet because
I forgot to get maple flavoring last week, so I will be trying that
again this week!
It sounded like Meagan had fun at Monster Mash! That is always good to
hear! And Heidi needs to stop growing up! Haha! Can't wait to see her
hair cut!
It sounds like Sunday was good! Ours was pretty good as well! We heard
from a young man who is leaving on his mission Tuesday! Levi Felix, he
is going to the Salt Lake City east mission! He is going to be
awesome! The only thing that I would change around hear is the
weather! It is way too cold!( and this week was even warmer than last)
but everything is going well! I love you so much! I hope that you have
a great week!
