Ashly danced in 7 numbers at the College Dance Concert this week. She was of course awesome, but relieved to not have so many rehearsals to go to every week! There is a rehearsal for each of the dances that you are in.
Carsyn went to Sadie's and built a huge fort in the basement - pretty much took up the whole family room! He and his buddies had fun with a childhood task before they went to the par core courses. The ones in our backyard mountain and also the one in a warehouse. They did find a trail that was very Star Warsish in look this week. Brooklyn is still doing great. She did get mixed up and thought that Thanksgiving was this last Thursday. She is super grateful to the members that will drive them 45 minutes each way to meet with people. She is also super grateful for Heavenly Father's guiding hand which will put a person in an airport at just the right time to find missionaries who are sending a missionary home. The other cool story is: "Jorgelina and her husband Federico talked with missionaries almost 6 years ago. We found their teaching record and everything was solid and the missionaries never left a reason as to why they stopped visiting them. So we decided to stop by, and Jorgelina was home. She told us that this was a miracle! She loved talking with missionaries and learning about the church years ago, but back then she and Federico were living in a different house in a completely different part of Metán. They forgot to tell the missionaries they were moving (here, moving isn't really a process like it is in the states. You just kind of do it all in one day, decision, packing, and moving) But, the address on their teaching record was this house that they are in now! We're teaching her now and she's really awesome!" House update: Tiling in the shower is done! (except for grouting the pan). Started tiling the floor Stucco prep done Siding passed off Kitchen counter guy is coming tomorrow

Cross Country So proud of Carsyn. He put his heart into cross country this year and did so great! He absolutely gained another "family." We had the final awards banquet and he received: The All Junior Team Award
Now onto track! Mission Brooklyn's companion had to go home because of a family emergency so she spent last week sending her of and gaining a new companion. She is from Peru and Brooklyn says she is really sweet. House Hmmm what can we say here, but we had another hiccup. We had to change out our siding. Grrr. Still slowly getting closer :) This week we mainly - meaning mostly Eric - tiled the shower in our spare time. The stucco prep is ready for inspection and then hopefully it gets sprayed this week.
Ashly and I got to work some fun concerts this week. I got to work Fab 4 - a Beatles tribute band, and Space Oddity - David Bowie tribute band. Ashly worked Space Oddity with me and then she got to work Gentri. It was a fun week at work. Brooklyn has been riding her bike and she is excited because they get to more people. Mission
So for those who are on Brooklyn's e-mail you know that they are pretty short. So here are a few more details: 61 People They currently have 61 investigators. They are in the process of narrowing down those who are really serious right now, because they don't have enough time in the week to get to everyone. There are 8 scheduled baptisms. So they are pretty busy. 27 mosquito bites. Yes, she did NOT use the good bug spray which I sent with her, and which we were told to send, because she read the labels and didn't dare. She said it said not to use if you have a cut. I told her it's the same stuff we have used for years - mostly for ticks - and they we are all still fine. I also told her that guaranteed Carsyn had cuts when he used it! She just isn't used to mosquitos being a thing, since we hardly ever get them here. In fact we were all prepared for Ashly and Jesse's wedding and didn't need any of the stuff we bought. Anyway Tuesday she was pretty itchy and some of them were turning purple. She was going to the clinic Tuesday after siestas were over to get them checked out. We are assuming all is well since we haven't gotten any e-mails, or calls from the mission home :). House Again, quite a bit done this week. The list is getting shorter and shorter. Stucco next week! But here is the funny story. We set the kitchen cabinets in place and then brought the fridge in. When we went to plug the fridge in, we realized we couldn't find the plug that we had specifically situated to make it easy to plug the fridge in. Yup, yup we sheet rocked right over it, texture, paint and all. We did find it popping a couple of holes in the wall and taking pictures through the small holes with my phone :) See the pic! Halloween Here are some pics from Halloween and a link to the hack on this blog that explains how easily we put together our trunks for the trunk or treat: richinshappenings.weebly.com/ |
