Dear Cass -
Hi!
Another Sunday in August! It's so weird. August has been a long month. I think
it feels that way because we started the month with Colten flying to Vegas and
then us going to the ranch. Now it feels like we've been in school for a while!
I
loved in your last letter a couple of things...1. That Lucy goes pretty much everywhere with you to teach! Awesome.
2.
That you got to go to Berlin! And that you were interviewed by the visiting
authority! I can imagine that was a bit nerve wracking. Did he interview others
too?
3.
That you got to have that meeting with him. Really great!
Hopefully
you got my email about Dr. Joe and I hope you're feeling a bit better!
As
for here...
I
think Dad got his weeks confused because we didn't really have anything fun
this week. It was a good, pretty normal school week. Kind of the
"honeymoon" week, where not ALL the work has started. This coming
week River starts having her weekly homework with Greek & Latin, reading,
etc. and Colten starts his internship and his big Anatomy class starts. That
one's through Weber State and they start school this week. Hadlie has been
pretty busy already. She has already had her states & capitals test in
honors history. And they're already watching the Outsiders movie in English.
This
week we DO have some excitement. Dad and Colt are going with the rest of the
St. John bros. to see Toto in concert up by the U of U. That's Monday night.
Wednesday,
River gets to go to her new gymnastics class. She moved up to the next level so
she'll go for 2 hours. And we'll pay double the money:)
Then
Thursday afternoon Jen, Brynley and Ellie fly in. We'll pick them up and stay
in a hotel up in SLC. Friday night is our big Taylor Swift concert! There are
some very excited girls here getting ready for that! And just a fun fact -
Taylor's been touring all over. She just wrapped up her LA shows. She sold out
the Staples Center arena FIVE nights in a row. Crazy.
Friday
Colten is leaving to go with Logan's family to their Mountain Man Rendezvous.
He'll be back on Monday. (This is Labor Day weekend)
Saturday
is Katelyn's wedding! I've been meaning to send you a picture of her
announcement. I'll do that today!
So
- like I said this past week has been pretty normal. I haven't heard anything
from my work yet so I've had a little more time to deep clean, go visiting
teaching, etc. I still seem to be pretty busy. It's just VERY quiet around here
if I'm home during the day.
Dad
and I did get a chance to finally do a session at the Payson temple. It was
great! Really, such a beautiful temple.
Friday
we went to Jim Jackson's 50th birthday party. We have friends turning 50!
Yesterday
Dad, Hadlie, River and I met Papa Mark at the Farmer's Market for some
shopping. We then went on a walk on the river trail and then he came with us to
the horses to see what Hadlie's been up to over there. It was a fun morning.
Today
River get to have a bishop's interview because she finished her Faith in God!
She's done a great job. I'm excited for her. Can you believe she's going into
YW in like 2 months!!!?
Well
- I do have a few questions for you...
*Is
Gera what we would consider a small city kind of like Spanish Fork or is it
bigger?
*What
is your favorite thing about living where you live?*What is your least favorite thing about where you live?
*How long does it take you to get to church? And do you take a train/bus?
*In
Germany do they have stores like Walmart where you go to get everything? Or is
it always more separate shopping? Like where would you go to get pens and
pencils?
*Can
you send us a picture of the outside of your apartment building? And also maybe
one from farther out of the Markt?
Those
were just a couple of things I've been wondering about.
Well
- as always I sure love you so much and pray for you every day!
Have
a great week! Can't wait to hear from you:)
Love
- Mom
