I'm so excited right now we have two solid baptisms coming up and transfers seem to be just around the corner. we had interviews with president this last Friday i sure love that man. we had a good discussion he said he was happy with he way the district was looking and he told me he was happy about the missionary i had become. He said something that meant allot to me as well he said that every one of my companions has learned something from me and that they have all felt better for having been my companion. I felt like a major goal of mine was being fulfilled. then he also said that he trusted me a great deal. that has been a goal of mine since the beginning of my knowledge of mission presidents. I also found out that this transfer i will most likely be being transferred. its a bit bitter sweet i love these people and the area. at the same time i feel very ready to leave the missions hardest bike area and expand my horizons... we will just have to see what is to happen...
I didn't even know that Larry Berndelli was into cars that much.. was it the show and shine.
man every month they have a car show here in canyon country. thats one thing southern California is good for preserving the classic cars. it is cool and is a good contacting activity not to worry we don't stay for an exorbient amount of time you will see the pictures its awesome
I too have been trying to put forth an extra measure of effort to have a high quality journal I'm still not so good at it but am improving i do take allot of notes in trainings and talks though.. i pride myself in my new found skill of note taking.
well i hope all is well at home i cant believe you and dad are gonna be trek leaders maybe i will come and be a scout for ye...
well I don't know to well what we will be doing this day its my companions turn to decide so it will probably be a more relaxed day we will see.
I love you guys
thanks for being my eternal mom and dad.

Hey Jess,
Can you believe it? August already!! What ya gonna do today?
Tomorrow we leave to go to Utah and you'll never guess what ~ Pres. Larsen called us into his office last night and asked us to be the Trek leaders for our Stake. We're going to do Trek in July of 2012. Crazy huh? We're really not that kind of people but look @ us!!! We Skyped Anthon and Jennie last night (they said they got your letter and pictures and loved it) and they're all ready to go on their family trek. We're gonna be traepsing around Wyoming for a few days w/handcarts!!! Both dad and I have to work today or we would have left already!
Sean Robbins is going to take care of the animals while we're gone. We'll make sure he's aware of Cati's high quality!!!
Yesterday I went to church in Ocean Shores w/ the R.S. crew. They had a new Presidency there for us to orientate. The theme for Sacrament Mtg. was Family History and Journal keeping. I have always kept journals off and on but after their talks want to do better. I can see the importance in having a well kept, well detailed journal. with dates of births, marriages, ordinations etc. and experiences you've had that may help others when faced with similar things you've been faced with.
Did you get the pictures I sent you yet? I think I put them in the mail Fri. morning so maybe not. They're of our visit from Sis and Fam. We sure had fun with them here. Lynsie bought plane tickets and they will be here the end of this month. We are so excited for that visit also.
It was the car show here on Sat. That sure had some beauties!! Larry Birindelli had two there, a Black Chevelle convertible (gorgeous!!!) and a blue Nova (I think) w/NOS!!! It was fun to walk around and look at them and all the hard work people put into them. WOW!!
It was also the motorcycle weekend in Ocean Shores. You know how you hear nothing but bikes all weekend? LOVE the sound of all those Harley's!
You asked us to tell you stuff that's going on around here ~ well guess what, we don't know anything!!!! Without kids living at home we don't hear about anyone! I see some kids @ court now and then but noone you hung out with!! Everytime we go into Elma it seems the same. OH, I saw Laurie Holdsworth the other day. They were here visiting from Japan for a month. She said to tell you Hi ~and~ they're tearing trees down like crazy for the new hospital site. It looks really different. Otherwise all is the same!
Have a fantastic day today.
I'll be thinking about you.
I love you tons and tons
Love Eternally,
~Mom~
