Dear Jordan,
Hope you are well. How is your new companion? What can you tell us about
him? Have you purchased an umbrella yet to keep out of the sun? Is it still hot and humid?
We have had 80 degree weather with a couple of days of clouds and sprinkles. It has been pretty hot. We implemented a chore system so that the chores can get done during the summer and the girls will be able to enjoy the computer/movies. It started out well but fizzled a little at the end of this week. Sarah went to Special Needs Girls Camp on Monday and Tuesday. She enjoyed it and returned home safely. On Wednesday she had her wisdom teeth taken out. She had all four taken out but they were finished in under an hour. They had to break one of her teeth but the others came out without problems. She has almost recovered. Hannah will be taking the driver's test within the next couple of weeks. She has already started studying the manual. She still doesn't want to drive but she is getting prepared.
Brian Carlson entered the MTC this week. I forwarded the email from Lori stating that Jason will go through the temple this next week. The missionaries stopped by this week to check up on everything. They helped give Sarah a blessing after her extraction. On Monday I will have the ward Family Home Evening but none of the family will be there except me. Mom will be in Minnesota and all of the girls will be at Girls Camp.
We hope to have a baptism soon in the ward. Chris has been attending with his wife and they have even been attending the Gospel Principles class. We hope to receive approval soon for his baptism. There hasn't been very much teaching in our ward, except for Chris. The missionaries have been a little busy with the rest of the stake but they still aren't near capacity yet.
I renewed my temple recommend on Wednesday so I had several people ask how you are doing. This morning Sam asked about you and I told him you had a new companion and also the story of the umbrellas. He told me that he told you that you would be using Chinese on your mission but that you dismissed it as a joke. He said that he has an uncle that served there and some of the Korean characters are from the Chinese language.
For Family Home Evening, we negotiated how many chores for the different tasks. I then taught Bekah about how to use a pocketknife. I told her about the blood circle and to always wait for the Thank You before letting go. She is very excited about going to camp. Saturday we will finish buying the things they need, including their Secret Sisters.

Mom says that Ann Wen works at the Smiths Pharmacy and says Hi. Mom and
Hannah are sorting through the kids books to see which ones to keep.
She is doing it because the suitcase is the only one that is left but it
was full of books.
We look forward to your next email. We love you. We pray for you. You are wonderful and are doing an amazing job.
Love,
Mom, Sarah, Hannah,
Rachel, Bekah, dad
