The highlight of our week was the Cross
Country region meet. The Lehi boys are headed to state as a team for
the first time in four years! That was your sophomore year! Lehi came
in second behind AF. The girls' team is going too, they were third.
Stefanie ran great in the JV race, she has improved every race. She is
excited to go to the state meet on the 22nd to cheer on her teammates.
Copper Hills did great too, both of his teams qualified for the state
meet. Stefanie has really grown to enjoy cross country, she complained a
lot at first, but I think she is glad for all our encouragement. She
is sad there are no more races this year, but she wants to go to
Footlocker in California in December, and has already said that she
wants to join the track team in the spring.
We
are enjoying fall, my favorite season of the year. The maple tree in
our back yard is bright red…
...and the big tree in the front yard is beginning to turn gold. We picked all the pumpkins from the garden and put them on the front porch, along with the scarecrow and the big scary spider. We have a Halloween house!
My first graders are super excited for Halloween, they talk nonstop about their costumes. Fun stuff! This week is Fall break, we are not sure where we want to go, but we are kicking around the idea of going to Moab or St. George. It will be nice to get away for a couple of days.

I had
my first parent-teacher conferences this week, on Wednesday and
Thursday, they went great! They were very long days, but I was happy to
get to know the parents a little better. They all said their children
love being in my class. Touched my heart! Dad had his conferences too,
we were both glad to get them over with.
Question
for you…Brother Hammock asked what your plans are when you get home
from your mission, he has offered his assistance in getting you admitted
into BYU if you would like to apply. Of course it would be Dad and I
who would do most of it, but you would need to write a paragraph or two
about why you want to go to BYU, and your qualifications. Are you
interested? Until you have been officially signed to play soccer
somewhere it might be a good idea to keep plenty of options open. Let me
know what you think.
We loved the pictures you
sent last week, especially of the birthday party. I hope the Hermana
did not mind having eggs thrown at her head! haha. Birthdays sound
kinda nutty down there! But lots of fun.
That is all for this week! We love you! We constantly pray for you! Have a great week. Love Mom
p.s.
Hope your companion, Elder Yak, is feeling better. Especially hope
you did not catch whatever bug he had last week! Where is he from?
