3.8.2015

Hi Riley!
How was your week? What are the temps getting to there? Are you still buried in snow?  How are things with your companion?

We had a good week. Baseball rosters (for 15 teams) are done and uniforms are ordered and for the most part we are good to go there. The kids are getting into there practices and are having a blast. This year we made 2 teams for the older kids which included freshman. Preston wasn't sure he wanted to play because of his busy schedule but decided to play and enjoy one last year with his friends. Saturday night will soon be full of fun at the park. :)
This past Wednesday was Preston's first track meet. He ran the 1 mile and 2 mile. He got first place in the 2 mile. He did great!  He then went to an invitational on Friday where they left at 7 in the morning (missed school) and didn't get back until 10 at night. The invitational included 17 other schools and he raced against the state champ in one of his races that day. He loved it.
We went up to phx on Saturday to celebrate the March birthdays for Papa, Uncle Westen, Ashlyn and Brenna. It was fun to get together and the "happy birthday" rendition was maybe the worst I've heard yet. Haha.
Dad gave a talk in sacrament today on prayer. It was great!!! Poor dad had to give it without a microphone though because as soon as they turned on the sound system, it made the loudest, most awful noise. Bro. Mendell would turn it off real quick but they continued to try and fix it and each time they tested it, it was so crazy loud. It made all the babies in the chapel cry. I would have laughed if it weren't so sad. Dad handled it very well tho and gave an outstanding talk. He talked about missionary work a lot and some stories from his mission. Specifically when he was learning how to speak Thai.  We sure do think of you a lot and know that you are learning more and more the power of prayer.  I am so thankful for your desire to serve your Heavenly Father. He knows of your needs and desires and is blessing you beyond measure for your faithfulness. Keep it up ! :)  
Have a wonderful week ahead! Work hard!
Love, mom

We had a crazy storm pass through which left us with some eerie fog one morning.

Getting the baseball equipment ready to get out to coaches.

Busy day ahead...
