August 28, 2017

So this week was a lot better than the last one. We didn't find a lot of people of anything like that. But we had fun and we have things planned for the week and everything. I am so happy right now. we brought 8 people to church and  they are all good. I thought we were lost but now we are found. Hahaha we are just working hard here in Moncagua. So this week on Thursday Elder Ochoa is going to come here to give a multi zone and I am in the choir (not by choice) Hahha well we'll see how that goes. We are just busting jokes taking pics with pigs and studying about charity. I want all of you to read Moroni 7:42-48 I love it. I am so glad I have been learning about that. We taught a few lessons about charity and wow the spirit was ridiculously strong. Whenever you show and talk about the love of Christ it is amazing. I want to continually have the pure love of Christ I hope we all can complete the 2nd commandment. Love your neighbor. Love you all.

Mom:  I hope you are working seriously hard because your letters are super short ;)  What's up with the pig?  
You have a good voice, why didn't you want to be in the choir??  That's good you had a bunch of people come to church.  Were some of them the family you were talking about in your email last week?

Jackson:  Nope not one but I hate singing. and that's why I asked for that keyboard thing 2 weeks ago so I could write more

Mom:  It should be here today and the backpack too.  Did you ever get your package I sent with your Hawaii Tshirt and your Domingo Ayala Tshirt??  it had razors and granola bars and stuff too.

Jackson:  No I haven't gotten it.

Mom:  That sucks.  Maybe it will be at the office and you can get it when you're there this week.

Jackson:  I don't go to the office????
Mom:  Well whatever- They bring you your packages or whatever from the office don't they?

Jackson:  Something like that. I'll get it don't worry.

Mom:  right-- It's been almost 2 months.  you usually get them faster than that.  I think the post office lady definitely screwed this one up so I'm a little concerned.  What do you want me to send with your keyboard??  are you actually going to get it?  I won't send the backpack and the keyboard together.  I've been sending cash for your package pickup to the mission office-- do they make you pay the $5 or whatever when you get the packages??

Jackson: No they don't make me pay. Just send them together don't worry. 
Love you have a great week 

Mom:   Love you too!

Well, we had another good week. Pretty calm for the most part. Monday we went out in the boat with Jolene, Landen, Easton, Lily, Kaela and Sean. The water was super smooth, Smoothest I've ever seen it at Willard bay. Landen is getting pretty good at wake boarding. Carson didn't try to wakeboard because he jammed his traffic finger and said he couldn't hold onto the rope. Tuesday we went to back to school night with Carson and met his teachers. And then we went to firehouse pizza with the Baker's. Always enjoyable-  the Baker's are pretty awesome. 
Wednesday Carson's teacher quorum activity was shooting and dad went up with them to help. They had fun.
Thursday was the freshman game at bear river. They lost. Carson played well, they have some internal issues. Carson said there's one kid that argues with the players on the team in the huddle. Not good. Tough to play as a team when you want to pummel the kid. 
Friday we dropped Carson and Sean off at the game at bear River and went to Logan for dinner for our anniversary since we probably won't get anywhere on Monday. 
We thought of going to the fair for a bit while we waited for the game to end but we drove through the parking lot and said nah, way too many crazy people. 
Box elder lost the spike, After 6 straight wins. 19-0
Saturday we went out in the boat. Carson invited a a few friends, Since we didn't really do anything for his birthday. Sean, Chance, Kourtney and Annika Quayle.  It was a really nice day. The water was smooth when we went out in the morning and there weren't too many people out. Kourtney wakeboarded and Carson got up a couple times. The rest of them didn't want to try it. Then they all tubed and swam. We got there about 10 and left about 3. Carson put sunscreen on and wore his shirt so no bad sunburns this time. His and my face are sunburned but nothing too bad. We took everyone to subway for lunch after and then home. 
Right after we got home, Carson showered and we took him back to chance's so they could go watch the big fight. They went to Jay's bosses house and ate and swam and then watched the fight. He got home around midnight. They had a great time. I guess the fight was good too. 10 round knockout.  It was Maywheather and McGregor. 
Today is Brad Robinson's homecoming. He looks good and his talk is pretty good. 
We had our home teaching dinner. Bacon themed. It was pretty good. Vickie brought mac n cheese, we had mashed potatoes, bacon wrapped smoked chicken, bacon wrapped pork tenderloin (bakers), jalapeƱo poppers (Angie). Amber brought he layered pudding dessert. It was all delicious. And we visited for a while always a good time.  
School started today. Carson drove to school. He drives pretty good so not really a big concern there.
Hope your week is filled with some good people and experiences to share. 

Love 
Mom
