How’s it going?
I’m really impressed with all the cooking you’re doing as a
missionary. I didn’t realize I had
taught you so well – or maybe it was the foods classes you took in JrH and
HS. Too bad your companion doesn’t
appreciate a good home-cooked meal.
You’ll be the best roommate at college; while others are gaining wait
and spending money on eating out, you’ll avoid both of those negatives by
cooking. I really enjoyed cooking
in Italy and I love how Mediterranean Europe . It has such a strong food culture. That’s something missing in America.
Last
Sunday we had Emily’s homecoming.
She did such a good job.
She stood up and said “I loved my mission”, and then she started to cry. She talked about her best companion –
the Holy Ghost and then told a bunch of stories on what the Holy Ghost did to
guide, direct, and comfort her while being a missionary. Her last area was a Spanish speaking
branch in Tokyo. Isn’t that funny
and she taught a girl from Argentina.
Boy, those Latinos find the gospel all over the world! I guess you’ll have to see how much
Spanish she actually learned in her last area. Last weekend Blake lined her up with one of his buddies and
they did a double date. Emily said
it was really awkward. Then Blake
brought a girl to Emily’s homecoming – someone who just finisher her mission to
Guatemala and reported to the High Council on the same day Blake did. They looked like they were enjoying
each other company.
In
other, less spiritual news, OHS beat Skyline in OT by 3 points. It was a very exciting game, or so I
hear since I wasn’t there. Dad and
I saw a good over the weekend – The Martian with Matt Damon (He still looks like
my brother Jason). You can put
that on the good movie list. Dad
took the Scouts camping up to the Coates property in Heber. They bought a huge piece of land and
are going to build a cabin up there that is totally off the grid so they can
live up there when the apocalypse comes.
Dad continues to work on the side yard. It’s looking really nice! It’ll be fun to plant a garden in the grow boxes. I took the kids to see OHS’ production
of Mary Poppins. As usual, they
did a really good job! Maren is
going to Monster Mash tomorrow night, stag. Her girl friends decided they didn’t want to get dates, but
wanted to go anyway. I think
they’re missing out. This year
Charlie will be s clone trooper (big surprise), Sydney will be a Southern bell,
and Emma is dressed like Where’s Waldo with all her friends. Maren and her friends are dressing like
zombie dolls for the dance.
OK
– This is an example of getting side-tracked and getting back to your letter 2
days later; sorry. I’m printing
and sending as tomorrow is Saturday AND Halloween and I’m certain to get
nothing done.
Love you,
