Some new stuff.

I just posted a new slideshow of some of the recent things we have been doing. Tennis is there and also volleyball and California All state honor choir. Collin sent some new pictures and some of those are on as well. Collin's big news this week is that he has finally been transferred. Took a little longer than we all expected it would. We don't know where he is yet but will find out Monday sometime. He did know that it was a double transfer. That means that both elders will be brand new to the area. He said that it would be a lot of work but that's what they're there for. He spent 7 months in Quitman. Wow! That's more than a quarter of his mission. Here is an excerpt from a letter. 
oh, and something cool to note. We had dinner with the Stewarts the other day and got to talking, They talked about an exchange student from Sweden they had over here for a while and they went with her back and visited her family. I asked what part of Sweden and they said a tiny island called Gotland. Then i asked where in Gotland and they said Visby. So i met some people in Texas that have been to Visby. The foreign exchange student lived inside the wall somewhere. It was pretty cool. Its the first time i have met anyone who knows where Gotland is, much less to have actually been there.
So i got a bunch of emails to read and then a bunch of things to do to finish packing.
He also sent home a name tag of his. It's cool. He knows a lady that has a bunch displayed on her mantle on little stands. They're from her children and grandchildren. Fun.
Life goes on!
