Elder Heflin,
How was your week?
We had a good one getting used to the daily schedule for Preston and the kids are all pretty happy to have a routine again. Preston likes his teachers and will have a good but challenging year. Cross country officially starts tomorrow and Preston is a bit nervous. He says it is that feeling before a race that makes him nervous, but it's a good nervous ... I think he is just excited! It should be a good year.
This week:
Bryant fell off his bike and got a big scrape on his arm. He was very brave but it was quite an ouchy.
This week I finally had enough and I put the kids in charge of washing their own clothes. For years, and I mean years, I have asked the kids to pick up their clothes from the bathroom floor after a shower or to NOT leave wet towels on the floor of their closets... Or my favorite ... I've told them that they can wear pajamas for more than one night. But I have failed ... Apparently. So I figure they will learn the hard way ... Or the best way. -By doing it themselves-. They each are in charge of their own laundry and it is a work in progress, but they are learning. Brenna and Bryant are the least of the offenders but they have taken a liking to laundry and don't mind. P and W are figuring it out. ;)
Any advice for these guys now that you are on your own?
Anyway...
This week we had a meeting for Red Rock Athletics. We were setting the calendar for the upcoming year and getting the details of soccer worked out.
I had a very busy week for primary. A lot of changes in nursery (with 40 nursery kiddos - yikes) and many new families have moved into the ward. We are also preparing to hand out program parts to the primary kids and coordinate all those details. Fun stuff. :)
How was your big, busy week of training and meetings? Can't wait to hear about your time with President Miller. What were you most touched by this week? Good counsel from your new president? Good interactions with other missionaries?
Best thing this week? Toughest thing this week?
Love you so much!! Proud of you!

Going Solar
Dad bought these tubes at an auction and of course had to test them out in the pool to make sure they didn't have any leaks. Bryant approved!
