Good morning my love! It was so incredibly awesome to be able to talk to you yesterday. I'm so glad that worked out the way it did. You are so handsome and we miss you so much. We're so excited about your new investigator and the energy and momentum with a Samoan people. God works in beautiful ways and I am so glad you're there. I've been making phone calls this morning about digging a well on our property. Wouldn't that be amazing? All the water we could ever want without paying for any of it? That would be so awesome. I just want to tell you that I'm so personally proud of you for the way you have handled things. It would have been easy when you are making text and phone calls and no one was answering to shrug your shoulders and say oh well we did our best. That you never give up. You never stopped working. You are creative and amazing and you made cookies and now look at the fruits of those labors. I'm so personally proud and Overjoyed with your work ethic and your attitude and your love and never giving up on the savior's work. I'm so excited to hear more about this investigator and the families that you have met. I want to tell you a really special story. I'm not sure if Grandma Jello already told you this but last night we went to Grandpa rules grave. His headstone is now in place and Grandma wanted to have and kind of unveiling ceremony and talk about memories with him. Ammon got up and talked about doing the military test for football to see how in shape everyone was, and they could choose 15 30 or 45 pound backpacks to wear while they ran a mile. He chose the 45 and soon found out he was in trouble. He thought he might give up but then he actually saw grandpa rule on the corner telling him to keep going. He thought his mind was just playing tricks on him but then it happened again and again and Grandpa was literally standing there telling him that he could do it and he finished. He was the only one that did it with a 45lb backpack. He was very emotional as he shared that sacred story with us. Isn't that beautiful? The family is going super awesome. We had a fun Father's Day and Mickey and Lydia are home and make you finished finals. Clay and Becca are planning like crazy they only have 49 days or something before the wedding. Spenny is working today in Ogden and then going to Wyoming to work on Lizzie's Grandpa's cabin. Annie is going down to help Willie move in today I'm not sure that's a great idea but we will pray and hope for the best. Saturday is going crazy on his piano trying to earn his dog. I feel like I have a 16 inch cheesecake sitting in front of me and I'm eating it all myself. The yard is drenched in incredible flowers I live with all these amazing delicious creative energetic people and I just want to share and serve. I just kind of have this chick overeating feeling lately that were just only taking care of ourselves. I am very passionately trying to discover what I can do to better serve others. I fasted about this on Thursday, just did a gratitude fast for the blessings of the compass business and all the blessings that are mine and what the Lord would possibly have me do to share and surf better and more. Our life is ridiculously blast. We have so much meat in our freezers we can't fit anymore and thousands of flowers and we're just so blessed and then the compass business on top of that. Yesterday hearing everybody talk about not just Dad but Grandpa Jello and Grandpa rule we're just so blessed. I am so excited to do better. I'm super excited about having the Fourth of July breakfast here. I think we might do a Dutch oven breakfast cook-off and watermelon bust. Is playing the piano worth having a dog? Yes it is. Jennie and Smitty's baby is due tomorrow! Sure LOVE YOU!!! Spenny is remodeling the basement! I don't know if he told you that Coy and Becca have decided to rent from Smitty and Jenny. They are taking their basement apartment which is so exciting and fun. They're actually moving in and about eight days on July 1st.
