Serving in the Everette, Washington Misson: Jul 14

Dad:
Hi Graham,

Just another hot week here. Your bro and sis got home from Nauvoo yesterday and had a great time. Maddie said it was the best experience ever. She got to do your great great Grandma Rose's baptism. She loved the trip and Nauvoo and is ready to become a young Performing Missionary if only she was 18 yrs old. She will be 15 in a couple of months and would like to get a scooter and a job at Sweet and Sassy!

Zack has an interview tomorrow at 3 with Kara at Old Navy. I wonder if he will wear his bow tie.

Work is going well. Still keeping busy here. Saturday I went to a Mini Takes the States pre-party at Clear Lake. It was fun.

There was an awesome classic Mini vtec car there too!

It was a good church meeting today as several of the youth, including Maddie, got to bear testimony about the trip. Myka was tired at church today so she was fussy. I had to distract her in Priesthood with the iPad.

That's about all that is going on here. I hope you are having a great week! Have you heard anything about getting iPad Minis for your mission? We miss and love you lots
Love Dad!

Hello Family!

This last week has been a difficult one. Wednesday I started getting sick and having chest pains. So Friday we drove down to Seattle to go see a mission doctor. I have bronchitis. :( It hasn't been much fun. We did get to see downtown Seattle though :) On Saturday we had a lesson with Margret, our 81 year old investigator. We taught her about service and callings in the church. Her baptism date has been May 31, 2015 and every time we bring it up she gets offensive about changing it. After this last lesson we had, she told us she had been praying about getting baptized sooner and said she wants to be baptized on September 9, 2013! Yay, it's a lot sooner.

From President Bonham,
"No details on iPads yet; we may have more news in September or October about timing." A couple of weeks ago he heard we would get them in a year, so I might be home by then.

Sounds like the Nauvoo trip was awesome! Kara is the store manager at the Old Navy in Pearland again?? She was the coolest! Hopefully the interview goes great! All is well here. Elder Raburn had an interview with President Bonham this morning so I got to drive through my old area, Mill Creek! Also we got to eat at Dickeys BBQ afterwards. After that, on our way home, we met up with some other missionaries at Deception Pass bridge. Now we are emailing!
