This week has been crazy and sad and happy all wrapped up in one. We found out for sure that sister Hamilton is leaving :( But she's going to Vacaville, which is only 10 minutes away so she'll be able to come back for all of the baptisms! My new companions name is Sister Harston, she comes on wednesday. Everyone has been telling me that she is really awesome, so I'm excited, just a little sad that Sister Hamilton is leaving :( And I have to lead out my area now! Scary! I'm terrified that I'm going to forget someone or something, so this transfer is going to take a lot of relying on the spirit!
Fourth of July morning was great! We had a pancake breakfast and pinewood derby at the church and a couple of our investigators showed up! Unfortunately we had to be back in the apartment before fireworks started and we couldn't see any from the apartment. We could sure hear them though! There were fire trucks racing up and down the streets and a huge fire started in Winters, so it definitely was an unusual holiday :)
I'm glad that everything is going good at home! It sounds like everyone had lots of fun together as a family. Thanks for all of the pictures! It's fun to see what's going on at home. It's sad sometimes to know that missing a lot, but I'm also doing a lot here and seeing so many more miracles than I ever have before :) However, I already know what I'm doing first thing when I get home...Bearlake here I come! haha. I really have started to miss the mountains, but it's a lot nicer to walk around in the heat when I don't have to climb hills!
Hope that everything continues to go well and that you're all having a great summer!
Lots of love!!

Mom:
The pictures look great! Grandma Nana sent me like 14 e-mails with pictures this last week :) I'm glad that you had a good time, even if it wasn't at Bearlake! It sounds like everything's been really crazy! Mandee cracks me up, my companion was looking at me funny because I was dying laughing at her letter. I'm glad that someone thinks to send me pictures though! You should try Aliza's meals at Bear Lake :). Hermana Melgar-Fetzer has gotten me hooked on chia seeds. I have to drink them with oils in my water or with juice because they're like mini snot bubbles with no taste, but they help fill you up, so it's a nice snack :) Hermana Anderson is dairy free and gluten free, so I've gotten used to lots of quinoa and stuff, it's not too bad if you have the right recipe :) Maybe you'll like it and decide to use those recipes for yourself! haha. How have family home evenings been going? Have you guys been reading the scriptures and praying as a family? You know, nothing brings a family together like inviting the spirit through the Book of Mormon :) So I have a package request :) could you please send me oils? (lemon, grapefruit, slim and sassy, terra shield. breath, elevation, etc.). Also, the brazil butt lift work out came with some cards or a little booklet or something that has a bunch of on the go workouts, could you please send mandee to find them and send them to me? and if you could (but you don't have to) a gps device :) I've learned to read a map since I've been out here, but anywhere off the map and I'm completely lost! California signs and directions suck!! Thanks so much :) Love you lots!
Mandee:
Thanks for all of the pictures! It's fun to see what's going on back home. That's so sad that Skylee got her face cut! Is she doing any better? Your letter cracked me up! What is up with you and toes?!?! you talked about people's toes like 5 times throughout that letter! haha. It sounds like you're getting in shape! Keep it up! haha. I'm glad that you had such a good time with Libby and Lisa's kids. Keep trying to get Kaden to cut his monkey butt beard, my companion made a gagging sound when we saw that picture! :) haha. It's good to know that you're having a good time! Keep me updated on all of the hilarious and unfortunate things that happen!
Grandma Nana:
Thanks for all of the pictures and for the letter you sent! Those pictures came in like 14 different e-mails, so when I looked at my e-mails the other day I was just like, What?!?! haha. It was good to see everyone! Libby's kids have grown so much, I can't even believe it!! I'm sad that I didn't get to see them this year, but maybe we'll be able to have another family reunion when I get back! How is everyone? What was the best part about having everyone together? Is it nice to have the house to yourselves again? :)
Grandpa Bick:
It was so good to hear from you! I hear from you about as often as I hear from my dad! haha. Thanks for all of the support, it's nice to know that everyone is still thinking about me back in Utah! How was the family reunion?! It sounds like you guys had a crazy house for a while! Hope everything is going well!
Grandma Bowcutt:
It sounds like everything is going good for you guys! are you having anymore luck getting back into the swing of things? I miss Bearlake a lot! 80 degree weather sounds so nice!! I'm sad that I didn't get to be there with you guys this year, but we had some pretty sweet lessons that day, so I guess it makes up for it :) Was Kari's family the only ones who made it up there this year? I'm glad that Grandma and Nancy (or Peggy?) got to go up with you this year! It sounds like you all had a great time and that Grandpa's still keeping himself busy. haha :) Hope that you guys are having a great time being home!
Kari:
Thanks for the picture! I didn't realize that Haley's wedding was so soon! You should really get Kaden to shave that beard though, It's getting a little bit out of hand! haha. You guys all look so cute! Grandma said that you all went up to bear lake for the 4th, how was that? were the fireworks awesome?! I wore some of that stuff that you gave me to the ward pancake breakfast that morning and got lots of complements on it! :) haha. How is everyone doing? Is it still crazy soccer season? Have you been watching the world cup? I've never seen so many people that watch soccer in my whole life! EVERYONE watches soccer here!! It's a good way start a conversation with people though, except for everyone yells at you when you knock on their door and the game is on! :) haha. Hope everything is going well with you guys and that you're all having a great summer!
Aliza:
Happy Birthday last saturday! Hope your day was great! How was your 4th of July? Are you guys in Utah now? It's too bad that I'm going to be missing cousin camp, it sounds like a lot of fun! Hope you guys all have a great time in Utah!
