Hey Elder Broseph!!
Let me begin my email by giving a little Missionary Advice: When a big mean, dog attacks you, just remember, you don’t have to run faster than the dog, … you just have to outrun your companion. Pretty funny, huh?!
Everything here is going great! Parker and I went to the junior high preview and registered him for classes next year. He had hard time mastering the locker combination (because I taught him wrong. oops.), but soon got the hang of it after someone else showed him the correct way. OK. Now this is pretty cool and totally not fair because I didn't get this when I was in Jr High. Each day the students get a half hour of free time. It's supposed to be so that they can get help in the classes they are struggling with or do homework... But, you know that most kids goof off. They can play computer games, lift weights, play in the gym. Whatever they want. Anyway, Parker's pretty excited about Jr High.
Grace and I have started taking oil painting classes and really love it. When we finish a project, I'll take a pic and send it to you. I love hanging out with her! We took a drive to St George last weekend. Ever wonder how Grace gets her complexion to look so beautiful? The secret is.... Llama spit! Just stopped in Scipio and they had a petting zoo. One llama got jealous of the other... and... Viola! Spit all over Grace's face. Those critters can SPRAY! Once in a lifetime. Once in a lifetime. The best part of the experience was when Kate said, "WOW! This is the best vacation ever!" Grace did not appreciate that comment.
As you can see, Kate is still crazy little Kate. She says the funniest things. Here's some of her latest antics:
"Our cookies just aren't as good as Aunt Pammy's cookies. I bet that she is at the Holly Ghost's house looking up new recipes on the internet for all of the different holidays."
"Mom, can you give me a hug? I need a little strength cause my backpack is so heavy." After I gave her the hug she says, "Thanks. That's just what a I needed."Kate sleeping next to me in bed says, "Mom, please don't toot. My blankets are hot enough already."
Kate pulled a tampon out from under her pillow while I was tucking her into bed. I asked her where she got that and what is was. She said, "I got it out of your bag. I think that it is curling iron for my barbies. What was THAT doing in your bag anyway!" She was a bit offended by my laughter. Sorry Kate.
Emily is doing great! She is so full of life and loves to smile. She says a ton of words, but her favorite one is, "Hey!" She says "hey" every time someone does something she doesn't like. And she says it until you stop. Emy and Kate are like two little puppies playing together. They hug and roll around the floor and give each other kisses all the time. It's pretty funny when they try to that in the bath tub and their little bummies stick out. (sorry. that one was a bit of an over-tell.)
Remember that we love you. The Lord is with you and is guiding you those who are in need of the gospel and you spirit. You are a choice son of our Heavenly Father who loves you more than we can comprehend. He saved you for this day. To serve these people. Keep on the straight and narrow. Keep following the missionary guidelines and you will continue to have great success. I am so proud of you. I am blessed to have you in my family.
With much love and hugs,
Missy
P.S. Here's a few more jokes that you might like:
Q: Why do Mormon women stop having babies at thirty-five?
A: Because thirty-six is just too many.
THE WAY IT IS
THE MISSION PRESIDENT:
Leaps tall buildings in a single bound,
Is more powerful than a locomotive,
Is faster than a speeding bullet,
Walks on water,
Associates with God.
THE ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT:
Leaps short buildings in a single bound,
Is more powerful than a switch engine,
Is just as fast as a speeding bullet,
Walks on water if the sea is calm,
Talks with God.
THE ZONE LEADER:
Leaps short buildings with a running start and favorable winds,
Is almost as powerful as a switch engine,
Is faster than a decelerating bullet,
Walks on water in an indoor swimming pool,
Talks with God if special request is approved.
THE DISTRICT LEADER:
Barely clears a mud hut,
Loses tug-of-war with locomotives,
Can fire a speeding bullet,
Swims well,
Is occasionally addressed by God.
THE SENIOR COMPANION:
Makes high marks on the wall when trying to leap tall buildings,
Is run over by locomotives,
Can sometimes handle a gun without inflicting self-injury,
Dog paddles,
Talks to animals.
THE JUNIOR COMPANION:
Runs into buildings,
Recognizes locomotives 2 out of 3 times,
Is not issued ammunition,
Can stay afloat with a life jacket,
Talks to walls.
THE GREENIE:
Falls over doorsteps when trying to enter buildings.
Says, "Look at the choo-choo!"
Wets himself with a water pistol,
Plays in mud puddles,
Mumbles to himself.
A blurb from Rolley and Wells column, SL Trib:
Two Mormon missionaries in dark suits on bikes recently were left motionless and speechless when two scantilly clad female joggers passed them at Sego Lilly Lane and 1300 East in Sandy.
In fact, they didn't notice a Sandy City police car behind them, until the officer advised over his loudspeaker, "Think of a hymn, elders."
A stake mission leader related this:
When the MTC was built in Provo, beautiful green athletic fields were planted so the missionaries would have a place to exercise. However, they were so inviting that BYU students were attracted there, and you would see BYU students out playing touch football, throwing frisbees, etc. on the missionaries' field. To deal with this problem, a large banner was posted, which read "Missionaries Only."
The next day, BYU students were out on the field, playing touch football and throwing frisbees. They had posted a new banner which read, "Every member a missionary."
