Dear Jordan,
How are you doing? We hope that you are doing well. This was a different week. We received some rain but no snow. We also had very nice temperatures on Saturday. The temperature was in the high 40s to low 50s. The sun was shining and there wasn't too much of an inversion.
On Monday, we did not have family home evening because when I got home everyone was asleep except Hannah who was doing her homework. On Tuesday the scouts did the game design merit badge. It was a lot of fun. I was able to teach them rules of games and how some of the games are set up. Next week we will finish up the merit badge and they have to come with a game of their own making. They get to teach others how to play their game. Mom started teaching her class at the Community Ed Center. She came home very tired. On Wednesday she basically was asleep by the time I got home. The girls were doing homework. On Thursday mom also taught her class and again the girls were doing homework. I went around to the scouts getting permission slips.
On Friday I took the day off to get ready for the camp out. I went to lunch with mom and we ate at the Serving Time café. It was very good. The scouts went up to camp Tracy for this camp out and we stayed in the cabins up there. We had a lot of fun. We had noodles for dinner and then the boys were able to work on some merit badges. In the cabin it was a little cramped because we were with another troop. But all the boys got along well. One of the merit badges was space exploration and so they build rockets on Friday night. We finally got to the cabin and went to bed around 10:00 PM. Saturday morning the leaders of the other troop had to wake up everyone because we were all asleep still at 7:45 in the morning. We went and had breakfast and had French toast. We then finish some of the merit badges including firing off the Rockets on the frozen lake. The boys were able to go tubing down the mountain as well as snowshoeing and cross country skiing. One of the boys even fired the rifle at the rifle range. For lunch we had tortillas they were very good. I am happy to say that everyone came back alive. However one of the boys fell into the frozen lake and then later burned his hand on the stove but he is doing well. It was fun using first aid skills again. After the camp out we drove the boys home and then I came home.
Since it was such a beautiful day Rachel got her bow and arrows out and she was shooting them. She's getting pretty good at hitting the target. On Sunday we went to church and it was announced that the Eastmont ward would be dissolved and that it would be split among three other wards. Next Sunday will have a special meeting where all of the information about the rearranging of the wards will take place. We will let you know what all happens.
After church Rachel drove me home in the Pilot. We then went to Roberts house for dinner and relaxation. Tomorrow is Martin Luther King day so the girls are out of school and I am off work. I will let you know what we do for fun on Monday.
How is the weather treating you now? Are you still healthy? How is your companion Elder Bradshaw? Are you still doing a lot of street contacting? Have you had very many zone meetings? Have you had very many visiting general authorities? I know it's not 18 months yet, but how comfortable do you feel in speaking and understanding Korean?
You are a wonderful son. We love you very much. We want what is best for you so please let us know how we can help you. Please keep up the wonderful work you were doing. Please keep the rules but enjoy yourself as well as time permits and as The Spirit guides you. We pray for you and you are constantly on our minds. We Love You!
Love,
Sarah, Hannah, Rachel, Bekah, dad, Mom
