We May Not Have It All Together - But Together We Have It All!

There are 8 of us and when 1 of us (or more) is away it seems so weird!


Meg came home from Provo for a few days at the end of April on her way to Mexico to teach English for 4 months, but because of the swine flu outbreak she ended up being home for about a month. It was nice to have everyone home even if it was just for a short time.

Finally, on May 27, Meg got cleared to enter Mexico City and left before Sarah and I got home from girl's camp.

We're sure she will have a wonderful time, but we think she will look forward to seeing this sign again in the Fall.

Matt couldn't believe it when he heard what the Stake had planned for the young men this summer. They didn't just want him to ride through the desert on a horse with no name - that would be too easy.

They planned for him and all of the other YM in the Stake to go on a 100 mile wilderness adventure! The 100 miles will be split between hiking, canoeing, cycling and repelling. Each young man received a "mission call" for the week. Matt was called to the Seattle, Washington Mission. This adventure is going to help the YM to learn to rely on the Lord and to know that with His help they can accomplish anything. Matt left on Monday morning and will return on Saturday.

Hurry home, Matt. Your picture is starting to get fuzzy in our memories. We miss you! We are excited for you to come home, but we aren't excited for all of the camping gear, dirty clothes or that pungent camping smell.

Last summer, Richard and Matt both hiked the Grand Canyon and had a lot of fun.

Today, Richard is leaving to go and see all of the YM in the Ward, take them a treat and see just how bad they really do smell. So, for now only 5 of the 8 of us are home.
