OH I LOVE YOUR LETTERS!!!!!

They seriously make my week! I just laugh then cry through them every time. 

Terrill you are seriously the greatest stud for writing me so much! PS all you other kids shape up, or I might only write you as many times you wrote me on your mission ;]

STU BALL! Congrats!! Holy guacamole! I kind of wish girls had that kind of thing {referring to his Eagle Court of Honor}. Guys are lucky. Getting dirty and going camping is actually quite the fun I've realized. Young women's isn't just quite the same. Anyways love ya! Hope that was a great b'day present too!!! Seriously so proud of you!

And to the two running boys:  Your pics rock. Terrill it's obvious by your face expression you're giving it all you got. Keep it up you two! I know you can achieve you goal!!!

So glad you are enjoying the autumn there... Its not quite as colorful here. Nor do I think it will ever be. Mom you rock at running/ walking. Keep up the good effort. We are having another family race the month I get home, and everybody is running this time! :] It is what I wish for my coming home present from all ya'll in Wisc. So start practicing now. 14 month notice should be plenty of time ;] Dad that includes you hahaha.

Mom you need to learn asl!! Haha just think how useful that would be when you end up going deaf.  Don't worry I'm planning on inheriting the genetics soon too. Sorry about your ear tho. Don't forget to take care of yourself too okay. I know you work your toosh off for everybody else, but its also important to reward ourselves too. When was the last time you sat down and had an hour to yourself?  Like really yourself.  Do it k. Mom's are too important to have them not treating themselves right. And make Terrill and Alecia start teaching you basics. I'm sure they have them down still.

Elvera spoke!? woo hoo!! When does she leave again? When she is a missionary she can email me :] its nice... missionary to missionary can email too.  It saves on stamps. Not that we ever do it anyways 'cause we only have that hour. Oh well.

Okay well this week was MIRACLE WEEK!!!!

We had at least one everyday!!!

The lord answers prayers! haha I was beginning to miss the outdoors so much he gave us an opportunity to go hiking... in our skirts. What we thought was a driveway out in the middle of nowhere turned out to be only a jeep trail.  Instead of a house we found vultures and a deer carcase at the end of the trail. hahaha It was quite the fun experience. We did find the house later and with perfect timing too! Right as Connie came home. Shes an asl teacher who lives literally in the middle of the boonies. We are going to teach her though!!!

Tuesday miracle was finding and teaching Bibca. bahahahhahahahaha That's another story. I think she wins over Holly as the craziest person I met on the mission though. Her name that she introduces herself as is "Biblical Creator Virginia Ann". Pretty much she thinks she's the savior of the world, will never die, and can heal people. We thought her name was Bibca so that's what we refer to her as. All good.  She'll get it figured out in the next life. Until then we prayed she will have peace in this life.

Second miracle.... i got a letter in the mail :] very much anticipated.

Wednesday we met Adam at gospel dictionary night. We teach gospel related signs. Also we had 3 members present lessons and 2 rclas. It was a good day for numbers!

Thursday we found a new deafie.. who is a member!!!!! Funny how people go into hiding. Also had dinner with Adam.

Friday we found Sonny!!! Well more like he found us. Also a miracle, hearing, but so ready for the gospel. We sent the elders back.

Saturday the RS broadcast seemed to say exactly what everyone needs... We had to leave the room in search for tissues. and Kelly, a recent convert came! Because she now has a permanent ride to church! Members who take their covenants seriously rock!!!!!

Sunday we were exactly at the right place, at the right time, and said exactly the right thing to help a dear friend feel her heavenly fathers love.

"There can be miracles" has been our theme song this week.

LOVE YOU FAM!!!
