Yard Work

Hola, my son!  We have been anxiously waiting all week to find out if you had changes, where you were sent, who is your new companion.  It is hard for us not knowing where you are and who you are with! But we know you are being watched over and taken care of, and Heavenly Father knows exactly where you are. We can't wait to hear your news.  We want to hear all the details about your new area, your new house and neighborhood, the people you are with. We hope and pray you are safe and happy!

It has been a good week for us, spring has officially arrived in Lehi, Utah!  Dad and I spent all day outside doing yard work.  Dad bought himself a chainsaw and had a blast trimming hedges and tree branches, then we dragged them all to an enormous pile in the garden. We will soon have quite a bonfire!  Our trees are getting bigger, I wonder if you will notice a difference? We planted three new trees in the back yard last fall, looks like they all made it through the winter.  Everything is budding out and showing new growth, we will soon have a yard full of daffodils and tulips.  I love spring!

Stefanie is doing good.  Prom is coming up soon, some of her friends have already been invited. I asked her if she wanted to go, she said, "I can't go, Braden won't let me!"  Haha, you do have some influence on your little sister! 

Dad still has not had an interview for the Lehi head basketball position, he got a call from the principal who said there had been a hangup at the district, so it might be another week or so.  Ugh, we all just want to know one way or another!  Track practice stated last week, Dad thinks his boys will be pretty good. He is excited to get back into it, the first meet will be on Wednesday. 

Dad and I got a message from Coach Atkinson regarding an official signing of a "National Letter of Intent" to play soccer at Western Wyoming.  It is a two-week timed document, so there is no way it could get back and forth from Honduras in that amount of time.  Is this for sure what you want, have you have made your decision??  If so, you could give Dad and I permission to sign on your behalf, or we could make a quick trip to Rock Springs very soon after you get home. Your choice, let us know what you want to do.

Well, we sure love you, we are proud of you! Honduras is lucky to have you! Keep working hard, there is still a lot of work to be done.  Love, Mom
