Last Week of Summer

Hola my son, how was your week?  We have been anxiously waiting to see if you got a change!  A new area?  A new companion?  We are excited to know!  Can't wait to get your letter and hear your latest news.  As for last week, we are so glad Cesar was baptized, that is awesome.  I hope he will serve a mission himself in a year.  Also, we are glad Presidente Bowler gave permission for missionaries to play sports every p-day.  Hooray, good news for you!  And glad you got our latest package with the camera. We want to see lots of pictures with your new camera!

We had a good week, the highlight was on Thursday at the Food Truck Rally.  Have you heard of that?  Food trucks have become all the rage.  Do you remember Waffle Love?  Well, now there are food trucks for every kind of food you can imagine: corn dogs, crepes, pizza, sandwiches, barbecue, Greek, Cajun, Italian, Mexican…you name it.  Each week a bunch of them get together in a random location…you have to look online to find out where they will be.  This week they were in Provo so we headed down with Rachel and George.  There were about thirty trucks in a big parking lot, we all got something different and shared, it was awesome!  We are definitely Food Truck Rally fans.


  

Today (Sunday) we went to Elder Matt Ward's mission report. Not sure if you remember him, he and his family lived around the corner from us in our last house,  he just returned home from Honduras.  Elder Glassett was his companion for awhile, he and his parents were there at the Welcome Home too!  Elder Glassett asked about you and wanted to know how you are doing and if you like the new mission president. He was there with Elder Evans, who said he knew you. They both say hello! We loved hearing about missionary life in Honduras, and reuniting with old friends. 
  
One other big piece of news…we added two new members of the family!  Saturday afternoon we were cleaning out the attic, found the old bird cage and decided we wanted to have a couple of new pets!  So we fixed it all up and drove straight to PetSmart and picked them out…one white, one green.  Holly LOVES them and won't leave them alone, poor things, they are in a constant state of panic with her jumping up and barking at them. But hopefully she will get used to them soon.  They are both males, their names…Messi and Renaldo, haha! So fun to have birds in the house again.  

Well, this is our last week of summer.  Friday I have teacher meetings, and the students return on Tuesday. It has been a great summer, but we are ready.  

We love you!  Love, Mom
