THis week went really well. Elder Jarman is cool, I dont have anything to complain about, it is really nice that he likes to clean, because now our house is really clean. Sister Sullivan would give us 2 cinimon rolls if she saw it.
Sadly not many people answered the phone this week so I dont have much to update for investigators.
Elder Bates and I took a trip to Poltava the other day and it was good. THe Elders there are having a good time and they are workin hard. They even got on tv a couple weeks ago. Love you all!
Hey bud,
I can't believe you got a new comp already! That is your shortest companionship besides your training with Bunker! I hope you are doing ok with the change, and I really hope you are getting along with your new comp!!!!
My week has been full of helping Josh get ready for Prom! Also he is running for SBO at Riverton and we have had to do a TON of things to get him ready for it. The worst part about it is if he isn't in the top 10 after the primary vote tomorrow, he won't be able to use any of it!!! Tomorrow is the booth day and the kids vote on the top ten. I think there are about 30 running...so ugh. Hopefully he will get through the first round. For his booth we made over 350 mini cupcakes and I did a big cake and giant cupcake for display. We have made 3 posters for it including a poster that says, Celebrate my birthday with me. Enjoy a cupcake. Remember to vote Josh Jorgensen. I am pretty exhausted and have been spending several hours a day helping him. I'll be super glad after the election is over. I'm also glad it's his birthday week, because I am counting this cake as his birthday cake.
The kids are all doing well. Jacob started basketball games again and his team won their first game yesterday. Kaestli is doing well in school, dance and gymnastics. She is growing so much and very smart. She is reading like crazy and loves to learn. Cam has had a good week but has been sick again yesterday and today. He has some stomach bug. Jordy is doing well in school and is excited to get his braces off in a month. He and all his friends went to the new Power Ranger movie the other day. He is back to being friends with Tom and Max so that is great! We spent the weekend cleaning and organizing the kids rooms and closets, my least favorite thing to do, but I am so glad it is done now!
Penny our puppy had to have surgery the other day. They spayed her...but she also needed a surgery to remove extra skin around her lady parts that was causing bladder infections. She is in rough shape and it's really sad. She should be better in 2 weeks...but it will be a long 2 weeks I'm sure.
The Tboys came this weekend. They seem to be doing well. Ethan hasn't started his mission papers yet, but he still claims that he is planning on it. Send him some prayers to get that going. Curtis and I are reading the BofM with all the kids. We are doing the 25 pages each time, and will do it only when the Tboys are here. That is the main focus. Cam and Jordy listened in today too. Hopefully we can get it finished before Ethan leaves for a mission.
Say some prayers for Josh this week for the election. I pray that he will be elected, and also that he will be ok if he isn't.
I am starting to gather things for our trip to fiji in less than 2 weeks now!!! I can't wait to go! The kids are all very excited.
Everything else is going good.
I miss and love you very much! Thanks for serving a mission!!!
So discussions-
1-New comp? How is it going, do you guys get along? Is he willing to work out with you? Tell me all about your first week together.
2-Package, obviously when Elder Larsen gets his package with protein powder he won't be able to share with you. I will get a package out this week. This is your chance to request anything at all. I already have vanilla protein powder, the protein bars you like, more proactive, some extra black socks. Anything else you want to request?
3-Are you still happy and positive?
4-Any new thoughts about college? You should probably start logging in to your other email account occasionally to see what BYU is sending you. They will assign a first year mentor for you. Bailey Gibbons works in that department so I will call her and see what you need to do before coming home.
5-If you want I can go into your old email account and get it cleaned up for you...I'm sure 2 years of unread messages are there. Just let me know if you want me to do that.
6-Start looking around for unique ukrainian gifts that you can send or bring home. You are running out of time fast!
7-Recordings
8-pics
9-special message for me
Don't forget to email a Happy Birthday to Josh!
I miss you like crazy, but I am so glad you went on a mission! I can't wait for you to come home, but I hope you enjoy every last minute you have out there! Keep being awesome! I love you so much. Have a great week and keep us in your prayers:)
Love you!!!
Mom
Yes I am getting a long with him, and he is willing to workout. He is really cool. There isnt much to tell, he is really green and he said he didnt get alot of chances to work with his last companion. He likes me.

4 Not really, I feel more and more confident about the AFROTC, so I think I will do it.
5I will log in and check.
6I have quite a few to send now and some big ones could come in the next package after this one.
I love you so much you really are the best. I am so happy that you are my mom and I am proud of you. I love my mission so much and I am so glad you helped me make it happen. I could do it without you!
