Yes, they did find out what was wrong with Elder Packard. He let himself get dehydrated. Here is a tip for hydration, take your body weight, cut it in half and that's how many ounces you need to drink every day. Last week there was a thunder storm, all week. This week it has been high 90's with 50%, if not more, humidity. To put it simply (heat+humidity)+tracking+service-shade and water = not a very happy Oregonian. What do you mean by interesting? Do you mean apostate? If you don’t know already, Blake can tell you what apostate means.
Wait, you have phase 10? I looked through all your games and I don’t remember you having it. We mostly play it had the Grilley's weekly dinner when they save us from boredom. We had choir practice and our dinner appointment for that night cancelled. So Sister Grilley invited us over. It really sucks when Sunday dinners cancel because we almost have no food in the house. Yeah, we mostly only play games if a member wants to or if it is p-day. We are in the wrong part of Pensacola for sight seeing. Plus, there is nothing to do. What games do you have in mind? I want to know before you spend money mailing it down here. I definitely want that picture of you and Braden racing. It is so cute.
Braden is becoming quite the little boy, isn't he? Maren, you’re a working Mormon mother. Tell me when did mom have time to relax when we were growing up? We only teach Mike, but we do service for his father John Gunn and he said, and I quote. “Well buddy, I think I outta start coming to church because his mother and I have really noticed a good change in Mike." So we might start teaching him and maybe his wife.
Sometimes it is hard working with the ward because the ward doesn’t work with you. The priesthood is weird down here. We made information sheets for the brethren to fill out so we could match investigators with fellowshippers. Out of the 20 we passed out, we got 8 back. It wasn't a hard sheet. It would take them 3 minutes to finish and that's probably how much we will have until I pass them out again. Then again, the missionaries have been taken out of this ward because the ward wouldn’t help the missionaries. The ward mission leader is great, very involved. What ward missionaries? This ward is so small we don’t have any. Some people have more than one calling. There is this one sister who has four callings. The bishopric has been really helpful. But the mission president has taken missionaries out of Fox Run because the ward wasn’t helping any.
So Maren, what would you like for your birthday? It helps me find something but allows me to be a good missionary.
