A note from Mom- Good Morning Sunshine!

 August 11, 2024

Hi sis, how are you Em?  I hope the sun is beautiful in California today.  I drew the short stick this morning; I had car wash duty.  It took me a bit, so I am rushing.  Thanks so much for the fun vlogs,and photos this past week.  They were so much fun.


This past week has been awesome.  I have enjoyed being back to work with my friends and colleagues.  We have had just the right balance of trainings and independent teacher time.  We even had a "teacher retreat" on Tuesday with a very awesome speaker and axe throwing- no I did not throw the axe. 

Student govt. is back at it.  Thursday was Freshmen orientation, Thursday was our car wash,  and yesterday morning we painted the bleachers.  So far, I am really impressed with this group- fingers crossed.  Last year was odd.

Saturday was great- I baked bread and made cookies- put some in the mail to you and then I did some catch up stuff and figured out my apple watch a bit- I hope.  We also watched the US play France in basketball for the gold.  It was a lot of fun.  US came out on top- Hurrah.  I may even just be a Lebron fan now.

 Here is what I know
Seleck, Leydi, and Bella- I haven't heard much- thank heavens for facebook.  I am going to go up on Labor day weekend.  
Stockton, Amanda, and Steele - they are having maternity pics this week- so fun.  Amanda's last day of work was friday.  I think they are both relieved.  
Madsen- up and down and all around.  Thank heavens he is training a new GM.  He is thinking about going to grad school.  We played scrabble last night
Maleck-I am a little worried about him.  He is super quiet and is withdrawing a bit.  But he did say on the way to football  the other night, "Shout out to Heavenly Father for making that awesome sunset."

Dad- he seems to be doing better.  He, Stockton, and Maleck went scouting yesterday, so that was fun for him.  I like it when he is happy.

Me-  I am feeling much better health wise, so that makes everything much better.  I seriously have nothing to complain about.  I really feel great joy in my heart.  

I love you and I can't wait to visit with you tomorrow.  I am going to the gym at 6 and then I have to be to the school at 8.  I don't think I have any meetings, so reach out when you can.

I love you - te amo mi hija

Well today was long but filled with lots of good things. I got my heart rate up to 180 this morning. It literally felt so good. We had goal setting as a zone this morning, cool to see the zone come together and make goals to help fulfill the fathers will. personal study today was good. I am so close to finishing the book of mormon. I really liked Ether 15:34. Just how it refers to doing the lords will, which is something that I am not the best at. Today the lord concecrated our efforts. We got a super prepared refferal who wants to learn more about the book of mormon. And the other one literally ran into us on the way back to our car. Finally seeing a little bit of the fruits of our efforst from finding!! Today we had interviews and I didnt cry!!! I talked to sister jones about family history and how the veil is thinner than we know. And president jones it was so good. He is very proud of me. He even told Hermana Smith that I am a very obedient dilligent missionary. He was also excited...

A note from Daddy Travis

 August 21, 2024 Good Morning Hermana! I am looking forward to hearing about your new area, your new apartment, and about your WANT LIST for the next package I am going to send you!  The cherry chip cookies you will absolutely love!!!   Remember the object of this week – REMEMBER LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PAST!  A quick story for you – Mary and her mommy were going for a walk .  Some people they passed were frowning ( pause your reading this story and put on the biggest frown that you have) .  Mary asked Mommy, “Why are the people so sad?” Mommy said, “I don’t know, but maybe we can smile at them and help them be happy.” As they walked along, Mary saw a woman coming toward them. Mary smiled her biggest smile  (pause again and put on your biggest smile!)..  When the woman saw Mary’s happy face, she smiled back. Mary said, “It worked!” Mommy said, “When we choose to be happy, it helps others be happy too.”   These past weeks, I have needed your ...
