July Birthdays

I'm a little belated in wishing the July birthdays a happy one. There was only one on the list and that is David but then we added two more Sawyer and Baby girl Wischmeier. Happy Birthday to all.

Email Police!

So I have a new job. It's patrolling your sent emails.... I forwarded a lot of you the email from Emily. She's so far away from home and doing a very admirable thing. This is HER own Mission. It would be really great if everyone could remember to email her, frequently. She has very limited internet access. I think it's very important that when she opens her inbox there are dozes of emails from her family back here in the states. So if you could and have the chance, please send her an encouraging note, an update on your own life or just a 'hello'. Also, we're going to look into getting a package sent to the children she's caring for. DeAnn, Sarah and I had been disgusing several things... Happy Factory toys and school supplies from Wal-Mart have all been suggested. Apparently they're having a huge sale on crayons, pencils, paper and such. I'm going to look into several shipping options and find out the best way to do this. Or if any of you know of organizations that are already set up that we can contact and ask for a donation to be given to her farm...? How does the churches humanitarian stuff work? Can we contact them to send things over there? Love you all. Hope we can do this..... Oh, and while I'm at it. Send Hyrum an email too.

Hyrum's New Address and Update

hey there everyone!

well i'm now in conway arkansas and it's a really awesome place! my companion is from american fork, his name is elder townsend. he's a good kid, with a big heart. i know i'm going to love it here. this ward is just awesome, and i've heard so much good stuff about it from so many missionaries and the mission president. conway is a college town... there are like three colleges here. plus the american idol winner, kris allen is from conway. pretty exciting. last night we taught a really good lesson to a nine year old girl named stormy! it was cool. she's getting baptized on the 15th of august. there is so much going on here, and i'm excited for what good stuff we have coming ahead of us. our zone is pretty big, (geographically) we have about seven companionships. elder hildt is in my zone, i trained him, and i talked to him last night. he's doing good. we stay with another companionship in our apartment, which is what i'm used to, cause we had the same thing in southaven. all in all, i'm pretty excited to be here. we have this really cool place to go running in the mornings, today we ran 2 1/2 miles. i was doing that this last transfer, but this place is a lot cooler that the road! it's a little paved trail in a cool park! good stuff.

here's my new address,
2200 Meadowlake Rd Apt 1615

*Note from Gabe: I wanted to make sure that you all have Hyrum's email address -- spuddy_studdy@hotmail.com Can I challenge everyone to send Spud a note this week? He checks his email on Monday, so you have the whole weekend to do it. Even if it's just a 'hi. how are ya. i'm good.' that would be really cool and mean a lot to me (and him, I'm sure). Thanks.

Biggest Loser!!

Hello everyone, I am posting this for Trevor. He would like to know who is doing the contest. If you are doing it or know of anyone in the family that is doing it then post a comment.

I would like to know how everyone is doing. I think it is motivating to know if people are actually losing. Good luck everyone. Hopefully we will all be skinnier in September. I love you all.

Yay for Babies!

Henry just wanted to let everyone know that he is even MORE excited about his new cousins than he is the popcicle you see him pictured with. That is saying alot and he can't wait to meet everyone!
