How are you? We really enjoy receiving your letter and
pictures. Sorry you had a rough week. Hopefully this week was better. We
are excited to hear. You will have good and bad days. Have faith, stay
positive, pray always, and you will make it through tough times. How is
your sunburn? That was bad...do you need sunscreen haha? We always look
up the weather in Reynosa, it shows rain this week. What a relief but
still humid, huh? Sorry your place flooded, hopefully it has been fixed
and you are not having further problems. Did anything get ruined? Do
you need anything? It looks like you live in quite a nice place. How fun
for you to be able to play sports on your P-Days. Hopefully it will
cool down soon for you. Remember to keep drinking lots of water!
Last
week our weather cooled off and we had three days of heavy rain. There
was a tornado in Riverdale (by Layton) which was crazy. No one was
injured thank goodness but a lot of damage done to houses and uprooted
lots of huge trees. There is snow now up in the high mountains.
Exciting
news, Malachi Pineda received his mission call. He is going to the
Phillipines, Cebu Mission. He will be speaking Cebuano. It is the same
mission where his dad went. He leaves November 9 and he is super
excited.
Megan is excited for tomorrow, Monday, she starts
working at Cross E Ranch for the Fall Festival. She earned her food
handlers permit as she will be working in the concession stand, as well
as with the animals. Everyone at the ranch asks about you and says "Hi".
Megan also asked someone to Sadies which is in the middle of October
and is waiting to get answered.
Malia wanted you to know that she finished reading the book Lightening Thief. She really liked it.
We
celebrated Mile's 7th birthday last week. He had a friend pirate party
(hopefully you can see the pictures) on Monday and had a lot of fun. On
his actual birthday he wanted to go to Spaghetti Factory, so we went
there for dinner and surprised him with a Pokemon cake and gifts. He
sings the entire Pokemon song now haha.
The Wood family says "Hi" and they are always praying for you.
I
received a quote and scripture in Relief Society today and want to
share it with you. The quote is from Jeffrey R. Holland: "Keep trying.
Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on
today, tomorrow, and forever." I really like that saying. The scripture
is Moroni 10:32 for you to read...what a great scripture for
missionaries! Keep working hard. Love God with all your might, mind, and
strength and be "perfect in Christ".
We Love You, Miss You, and Pray for you always!
Love, Your Family
