Today
Brother Hammock came over to our house to help us begin your
application to BYU. It is a long process! We can take care of nearly
everything, but we do need a little help from you. There are three
short essays, 250 words or less. If you will give me a general idea,
Brother Hammock and I can flower it up. Here are the three essay
questions…
1. What is the most difficult thing you have ever done or experienced? What made it difficult, and what did you learn?
2. Which school would you most like to attend and why? (BYU, BYU-Hawaii, BYU-Idaho, LDS Business College)
3.
Tell us anything else you want us to know about yourself that you
haven't had the opportunity to describe elsewhere in the application.
Include any special circumstances, experiences, talents, skills, etc.
that you think would have a positive impact on the admissions committee.
Brother
Hammock says to be specific and express your feelings. He definitely
thinks you could use mission experiences if you would like. Could you
do this today? No need to put too much time or thought into it, just
give me something to go on and I will make sure it is awesome!
In
other news, Friday and Saturday was Fall Break! Finally both Jordan
and Alpine School Districts were off the same days! So we had to go
somewhere fun. We ended up going to Zermatt Resort in Midway.
We met Rachel and George in Park City, did a little shopping and went out to dinner, then we drove to the resort where we checked into our hotel, did some exploring, went mini-golfing and hot-tubbing, then back to our room to bake cookies and watch football. The next morning we slept in, Dad went for a run, and we made a big breakfast in our room. It was a fun little get-away!

Wednesday
night I was asked to speak at "Career Night" at Young Women. I was
very honored to be a guest speaker! I told all about my experience of
being a school teacher, my education and background, what I liked most
and least about my job, some advice on how to be a successful teacher,
and a question and answer period. There were four other women who
spoke, all with interesting careers. Stefanie said I did a very good
job! Nice to be recognized for my efforts and achievements! I really
do love my job.
One
other thing…I have been posting all my letters to you on my blog, along
with a few pictures. Not sure if you are interested or if you have
time, but if you ever want to see a few pictures from home you can click

That
is all for this week! We love you and think you are awesome. We are
so proud and grateful to have you serving as a representative of Jesus
Christ. The restored gospel is true! Hurrah for Israel!
Love, Mom
