Dear Jordan,
Hope
you are doing well and that you didn't catch your companion's cold. Are
you
enjoying concentrating on Korean? How have your English lessons been
for your companion? By teaching your companion, has your Korean
improved?
The temperature got back up to the 90s this week.
Last Saturday we had the baptism of Chris Celestine (neighbor across the
street from Pete Jensen). He was confirmed on Sunday. After church we
went to Robert's house for dinner. We then watched a funny movie called
"Mom's Night Out." On Monday, we went to the Ward Family Home Evening.
It was at the Haueter's house. Unfortunately Brother Gardiner and the
missionaries weren't able to attend, so Bishop Haueter had to come up
with a lesson. Guess what? He talked about golf. Ha ha On Tuesday Jacob
Krieter and the scouts worked on his eagle project. They went through
the flags to remove the ones that were tattered/torn. They then
practiced for the Road Show that will take place in October.
On
Wednesday, Sarah and
I did some
more Friends Of Scouting. I then took those that wanted to get the
recommend for the Ogden Temple dedication that will happen on Sunday. We
then ran some errands. On Thursday I started getting ready for the
scout camp. On Friday I took the day off to finish getting ready for the
campout but the girls went to school. We were going to go to Smithfield
(north of Logan) to the property that Kyle Herd's grandfather owns. We
went there to a Father's and Son's camp out a couple of years ago. We
actually didn't stay overnight but we went in the morning. We then tried
fishing but weren't successful. As I thought more about where to camp, I
decided to just go up Little Cottonwood Canyon. It is close and it
would be easier for all involved. I was able to get some spots at
Tanners Flat. Jacob's eagle project was to retire flags.
After school I
took Hannah and Rachel (Bekah didn't want to go) and we met the two
scouts that wanted to go (Jacob and Bredan). Mom brought Sarah a little
later after her doctor's appointment. After setting up camp and eating
dinner, we had a fire and retired the flags that Jacob had. On Saturday
we came back from the camp out. Hannah went to the library for several
hours, Rachel slept, Sarah watched movies, and I cleaned up some of the
camping equipment. When Hannah returned, Hannah, Rachel, Bekah, and I
drove to Alpine to mow. Hannah and Rachel mowed and Bekah and I put a
tire attachment on the trailer. On Sunday morning, Mom, Hannah, Rachel,
Bekah, and I went to the 10 am
dedication session for the Ogden Temple, which was held at the stake
center. President Monson presided. We then went to Robert's house for
dinner.
President Cook of our stake presidency said that he
has a nephew that should have just arrived within the last couple of
weeks to your mission. His name would be Elder Cook. It would be nice if
you could keep your eyes open for him.
I am hoping to get
Tyler Lancaster involved in the scout troop. He is working at Sam's Club
and going to school so he may be too busy. Alex is down in Cedar City
at Southern Utah University and according to his mom, he is loving it. I
haven't heard anything about Jacob, Brian, or Madison. I forwarded the
email from Brian, your cousin, in Mexico. I haven't heard anything about
Dave Smiley. He is probably over 12 months into his mission though.
The
weeks seem to be flying by quicker right now. I like sending you emails
but it feels like I just barely sent you the last one. Hopefully you
aren't getting bored of the daily updates.
Thank you for
sharing your email last week. It was great to hear all of the different
things you are doing. Are you able to search using the LDS.ORG
for the talks or do you have another way of researching? Do you give
very many talks in church or is it mostly teaching lessons? Have you
taught a lesson in Elder's quorum or High Priests?
As always, we love you and support you. Please let us know if you need anything in addition to our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Hannah,
Rachel, Bekah, dad, Mom, Sarah
