This week has been awesome! We've seen so many miracles and have picked up a couple new investigators.One of our investigators who disappeared off the face of the planet about a month ago turned up again, and he has been reading the Book of Mormon! He's in Alma, and he says that he just gets this feeling that he should keep reading and that it contains something that he needs. It's so awesome!
One of our recent converts also blessed the sacrament for the first time and he's getting the Melchizedek this week! He is also speaking in Stake conference this weekend, and he and his family are really loving the church and finding so much happiness in it.
We have another baptism coming up on the 27th! It's this cute little old lady, Cheryl. We have to teach her very slowly and repetitively because it takes her a while to really grasp onto things, and she wasn't raised with any religion so it has been a little difficult, but she really loves coming to church and she feels the spirit very strongly. We're so excited for her!
I'm never going to complain about anything again! We met a lady with the worst luck in all of history this week! Her name is Mendy, and she has just had one accident after the other! She got in two car crashes (the second just as she was recovering from the first), and then when she was recovering from that, she went hiking with her family. On the last hike, they did a very easy handicap accessible trail, and she ended up falling into a gopher hole and tearing ligaments in both of her legs. Then just as she was recovering from that about a year ago, a ladder fell and crushed both of her hands!!! It's insane! Anyway, so because she still can't use her hands we've been going and giving her service. On Thursday we helped put together a bed frame and they made me use the giant table saw to cut the wood because Mendy thinks it's essential for everyone to know how to use one. So thankfully I didn't chop off my hand.... :)
We also had a lady named Kathleen call us out of the blue this week.We met her like 3 months ago and haven't talked to her since because she wasn't really interested, but she called us up and wanted us to come over for lunch. Apparently she's been thinking about us and wanted to do something to help us. But she must have really liked us because we're going over to her house again twice next week for lunch and to help her rip up her floors. :) I'm becoming a real handy man. haha
How is everything going? Is there anything fun coming up? Has there been a bunch of Halloween decorations put up already? Because like half of the houses have been super decked out in Halloween decorations. We're talking about full on graveyards and everything!!
Have a great week! Love you all!
Love,

Mom:
Hahaha!! Send me tons of pictures of the frenchie/oldies!! That's hilarious!
Are you not getting my little comments that I write under each picture? huh. Well, I'm not really sure which pictures you're talking about. If it's the ones with fruit, one of them was a Papa fruit, which, no joke, is like eating vanilla pudding with big black seeds the size of your thumb. The other was probably a cactus fruit. We met some random Mexican guy who had two huge buckets full of them.
That's alright, I can wait for packages. If you happen to have any Mascara and orange face soap lying around the house that would be great. If not, that's fine too :)
Love you!
Mandee:
It looks like you have been losing weight! What size are you now? I have a pair of brand new size 7 pants that a member gave me if you think you will fit into them. If not, I'll fit into them by the end of my mission :)
I'm sorry that you had to stay home for lighting the B. That was super fun, but you're right, you probably would have died :)
That's fun that you get to go to Lagoon! Who else is going? Remember, you're not allowed to date until you're 16. Also, If he doesn't offer you his two hands, his faith in the Lord, and to always cherish you and make you laugh, then he's not worth your time :) You're worth more than 8 cows! haha.
When does les mis start? How much of the play are you in? Who are the leads? Are they still making you guys exercise a lot?
Have a great week! love you!
Tyson:
I've been great! We've gotten some interesting food, which is weird for an English ward in California. The other day we had dinner at the home of a recently returned missionary who went to the Philippines, so she made us Filipino food! We got some Adobo and some other weird stuff that I can't pronounce. We also are teaching a family from mexico, and they made us some Sopas, which was absolutely the best thing that I've ever eaten! It was like a little tiny fat taco with homemade refried beans, and salsa, and meat, and a whole bunch of other yummy fillings. :) Don't ever eat Peruvian food though. That is no bueno.
We don't do much beside walking around and talking to people. On Saturday I stayed home all day with Hermana Melgar-Fetzer because neither of us was feeling good. We watched some church movies like "Legacy" (Which was really good, I recommend it), and "Johnny Lingo". :) We're feeling better now though. It's starting to get really dark around 8 o'clock, and one of our members saw us walking around in the dark the other night, and she pulled over and was like, "hold up!" and whipped out this super heavy army flashlight and was like, "if you see any creapers just hit them over the head with this!" and then she drove away. :) It was pretty interesting. But now I have a weapon! It's not quite as cool as the Machete that Mandee wanted me to get, but it works for me!
I'm so proud of you for going camping by yourself! I bet you had lots of fun doing that! are you going on the duck hunt with your school or with dad and grandpa?
I'm glad that you're enjoying school. I can't believe you're in 7th grade already!
What is your favorite subject? Do you have lots of friends in your class? Are you still going to scouts? Who is your scout leader? What kinds of projects are you doing? Do you hang out with friends a lot? Who are your favorite friends to hang out with? What has been your favorite part of the week? Have you had any missionary opportunities? Have you been reading the Book of Mormon and saying your prayers? When do you get to go hunting with dad? Have you been practicing?
Have a good week! love you!
Daddy:
I'm glad that everything is going good and that you've been preparing to be cavemen for the winter :). We are staying pretty busy, it's hard trying to find time to do everything we need to do in a day sometimes! It sounds like you guys have been having tons of fun :) I can't believe you let that little frenchie get pregnant! Haha, I want lots of pictures of the puppies :). So when are you guys going hunting? Is it getting pretty cold there? We hopped into the car the other day and the thermometer read 124 degrees! It was insane! Have you started on the house in honeyville? has mom picked a house plan yet?
Well, I hope that you have a wonderful week! Have fun at work and hunting and golfing and with everything else that you do! Love you lots!
Kari:
Thanks for writing me :) I can't believe that Kylie is in high school already! It sounds like you guys are having a great time and keeping really busy! How is Kaden doing in football? Is he one of the guys who play every game? (I can't remember what it's called...1st string??) How are Lindsey and Makell liking dance? What kinds of dance are they doing? How are you and Chad? Do you guys have any fun plans coming up? Does Kylie have any more out of state soccer games?
Have a great week! Love you all!
Grandpa and Grandma Bowcutt:
I'm glad that you guys have had a great trip and that you've been safe! I can't believe that It's been raining in Arizona! Tell them to send their rain here! I came to northern california thinking that it would be cool and rainy and I got blazing hot weather and droughts!
Anyway, It sounds like you guys have been having the time of your lives down in Texas!
How much longer are you going to be in Texas? Do you have any other fun plans coming up?
Have a great week! Be safe! love you!
Grandpa Bick:
It's good to hear from you! It sounds like you've had a productive summer! Do you have any upcoming plans for fishing or hunting or anything else fun? Have you guys been spending a lot of time in Island park and Yellowstone? I was just thinking the other day how much I wanted to go rafting down that one river in Island park again and then go get some Huckleberry ice cream when I get back from my mission :) It's on my bucket list. Where is the youth Duck hunt going to be at? When does that take place?
Love you, have a good week!
Lacey:
Haha, I love all of your pictures!! Cute little Stryker, I can't believe how big he is!
I'm so jealous that you guys got to go to the temple open house! The Ogden temple looks so beautiful! It's so much different than it used to be!!
How have all of you been? Is Skylee still playing soccer? Do you have any fun plans coming up? What was your favorite part of the summer?
Have a great week! Love you all!
