MOMMA!!!
Dang im so excited for those guys to get out on missions!! Partay, we all gonna know some Spanish up in here!!!! Well, I hope you guys enjoyed your Thanksgiving!! They had some really good sweet potatoes actually, so that was one of my favorites, didn't get any good mashed potatoes this year though but thats ok!
As for Jeffrey and Emily I'm not sure who's doing the actual baptizing yet, I think the kids will get to pick but you know the important thing is that they get baptized:)
I've got some more good pics in front of the temple that I'll send in a second!! They just recently turned on the Christmas lights there!! Its pretty good but the Mesa temple is better haha!! Ya the weather here is pretty unpredictable when you don't have an IPhone to check haha, it rains every now and then so its nice to have that rain coat!! I think I would wear some more sweaters actually! I've worn that red one a couple times and I really like it!! Ya i guess a tie or some Christmas socks couldn't hurt haha!! That would be awesome!! And ya maybe I'll start buying more stuff I need with my personal card now haha, I've just been trying my hardest not to use it at all whatsoever hahaha!!
So, yesterday, Sunday, was pretty eventful if i might say. The six missionarys in the ward did a musical which we've been practicing for like a week now which was pretty fun, but what I didn't know was that Pres Frandsen was going to show up with Sister Frandsen hahaha. In fact they were the speakers during sacrament meeting haha. Along with Elder Cordon from the quorum of the 70, he showed up as well haha. So no pressure on my singing or anything! But, then during opening exercises after sunday school he kind of just took over and taught a really cool lesson. For me I probably understand about 60 percent of what goes on in church but, I understood the message of what he was trying to say. Now I know you guys dont have this struggle as parents that speak the same language to your kids, but for most of the people in our ward, the adults dont know much English or really any at all, and so if they are to ask their kids some thing the kids usually respond in English, and he related that to the language of the gospel, how if you say something to your kids concerning the gospel they will answer in the language of the world. The world speaks louder than the gospel right now, just like English is more influential than Spanish for those kids. And as parents its super important to get kids started right, choosing the right at a young age so they can be ready for bigger life decisions when they're older. Pretty cool stuff!! And ya know he said it a lot better than I could summarize it but, it was cool to be there and hear that.
Alright I love you so much and I love everyone else so much too and now Im going to send some photos!!
Sister Betty is always so kind to have ALL the missionaries over!!
