WE LOVE YOU!!!!

How are you? How is every tiny thing in your life? WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!  

How are the exchanges? How is the zone doing? How is the teaching? How are the investigators?  How is your 4 foot 5 inch companion?  WE WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING!

Life here is scrumptious and blessed! This week has been filled with....

• Seth watches Andy Griffith and said he changed his name at school partly because of Andy Griffith
• We have an order for the shiniest silver skinny pants you've ever seen! Dad didn't know why... backstreet boys!  
• Joseph and I picked up 1000's of acorns in Lincoln Peter's yard. I hope heaven is just everyone serving each other. I love it so much.  
• We had a baby shower for Jennie Hughes in our ward.   
• We're getting ready for our new little cousin!  
• Joseph's back up singers brought him cookies.
• Annie and I have been savoring President Nelson's invitation to read the Book of Mormon before the end of the year.  We're marking anything that has to do with the Savior in any way, and it looks like our scriptures have been dipped in red paint. I LOVE IT! The lesson about how the Book of Mormon is another witness is so apparent!  It is ALL about him.  
• Tommy Seth and I went ice blocking, pranking and watched Princess Bride Friday night! 
• Annie ROCKED her orchestra concert Wednesday night. Such a neat win for her as first chair in the region.  Mckay brought a cute girl with him. Her name is Gretel. She was born in Provo but raised in China. She's awesome. Stay tuned. 
• Seth did a treasure hunt of "famous scriptures" for family night. 
• We taught auxilary training on for all the young women leaders Thursday night.  God is kind! He sent his Spirit to be with us. 
• Last night we sat behind Harold and Tammy Larsen at the Riverton school play. They are just precious. He takes his woman out on dates to school plays and KFC.  He posted on her birthday and said "to me Tammy is the most beautiful woman in the world".   
• I want to find out the price of having the Spirit with me EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF EVERY SINGLE DAY and pay it, no matter what it is!  I feel it most of the time, but when I feel removed it is usually anger, doubt, fear or INGRATITUDE.  I want to be ready AT ALL TIMES to give reason for the hope that is within me!  I want to hold before my eyes and in my heart Jesus Christ and him crucified, and feel the JOY of it always. constantly.  What is water?
• I don't want to take ANY more of your time. I love you with all of my heart and pray for you constantly. Thank you for being WHERE the Savior asks you to be doing WHAT He asks you to do and for the right REASON, because we can never ever ever show enough gratitude for all He has done for us, and what He hopes is that we will feed his sheep.  I love you, Son.
