Hola, my boy! Hope you are doing well in the Valley of
Angels! So glad that you are in a safe area with strong members and
plenty of food to eat. How is your new apartment? Do you still have
someone to cook for you and do your laundry? I have been thinking about
changes and how hard it must be to put your heart and soul into an
area, to grow to love the people, your zone and companion, and then
suddenly have to pack up and move away. Sounds very difficult, but I
guess that is the life of a missionary! We are doing great, lots of stuff going on around here. Dad finally heard from Lehi High School, his interview is scheduled for tomorrow (Monday) at 10:00. By the time you read this it will be a done deal, then we will just have to wait and see what happens. Keep saying prayers and crossing your fingers for him!
This week Stefanie came home from school to find a GIANT bouquet of purple balloons tied to the front porch. Yes, you guessed it...an invitation to PROM!! She was really sad and shed a few tears, but stayed true to her conviction to follow the prophet and not date until she is 16-years-old. Sometimes obedience to the commandments is really hard, but I know Heavenly Father will bless her. I told her that next year we will spare no expense in getting her the most beautiful dress ever. I did feel a little sorry for the boy who asked her, Stefanie sent him a text message explaining why she could not go.
I forgot to tell you that Daylight Savings came to an end last week and we are back to being on the same time zone with Honduras. Bummer, now I have to wait an extra hour to get a letter from you, haha!
Last Monday was fun, for FHE we went to this new place in Sandy called Soccer City, a huge indoor soccer facility, to watch Rachel and George play in an adult coed soccer league. It was fun, they did great! Speaking of soccer, your Alma Mater is not off to a good start, they lost their opener against Orem, lost last week against Bingham, and tied Brighton. Bishop Hancock told us that Tyson has had three concussions in the last few months and was not allowed to try out for the team, poor kid! Only three more pre-season games and then region play will begin. Hopefully Lehi can get their act together and win a few games!
March Madness began today, we are ready to fill out our brackets. Both BYU and Utah made it into the tournament. Good times.
Well, that about sums up all our news. The church is true! Hurrah for Israel! Keep working hard. Love, Mom
