Mother's Day Skype / First P-Day in Kennewick Washington

                                               A Very Happy Mother's Day
 


Family,

It was soo good to talk to all of you this past weekend!  Skype was pretty fun vs the phone call.  Hopefully it will work out to do that again this Christmas.  There are no real updates besides we got to the temple this morning and do a session the Kennewick temple is smaller but is still really pretty. I sent a picture of me in front.   We are going to be going about our usual p-day stuff after we email and go shopping and then play basketball and other sports as a Zone.  Thank you for all you do for me and for helping make my mission such a great time! 
 
I love you all!

Transfer Week

Hello,
 
Sunday Night I got a call from President Greer about transfers and he asked me to serve as a Zone Leader in Kennewick:)  It was pretty exciting to find out that I would be leaving.  It will be a big change but I am looking foreward to it!  I will miss the ward I have been serving in and will miss Gary Mundens Baptism this Saturday though:(  I will be covering 2 wards and I have heard a lot of good about the companion I will have.  I will update you more on Sunday when I get to talk to you.  The time that I will be calling will be probably around 4 or 4:30 so it sounds like that will be good with your schedule!  I can't wait:)
