Cameron,

This week was of course crazy just like all the other ones.  It was Peach Days this week.  So, you know Brigham was crazy and there were crazy people everywhere.  We went to the pageant Thursday night and there were only seven dollars girls running. Markee Brooks won the queen and a ton of other awards.  She won the best interview, she won an essay contest, and some other one.  Anyways she was awarded like three awards before she got crowned queen.  An Ellie Brailsford took 1st attendant.  She was darling.  The next attendant was a Hart girl that had also won the talent award.  It was fun!  Just so small but still fun to watch the talent and beauty in Brigham.

Friday night we went to the Box Elder vs. Pocatello game.  We beat them, thank goodness!  The cheerleaders have asked Hansen Chev to support them.  They said they would give $1000 if the girls would sponsor the half-time by Hansen and advertise for them. Annie had to cheer on a mat since the track wasn't done. It was fun having them have a mat to do more things than usual on.  

Saturday Halle had to be at the high school at 8am.  She had a volleyball tournament that B.E. sponsored.  I have no idea why they would schedule this on Peach Days.  Annie had to be at her parade spot at 8:30.  She was number 34 in the parade.  Dad was going to meet me there since he was working.  He got called to an accident so he didn't come.  I went up to Peach City and sat for a little bit with Grammy, Grandpa John, Mark, Val, and Luke.  I ordered some onion rings and a peach shake and watched Annie.  She was on the road again doing stunts.  She stopped right in front of us and did a stunt that looked awesome!  After I saw her I drove down by Grandma Balls house and waited for her and then gave her a ride to her car.  Then I went straight to Halle's tournament and watched all day until 6pm.  Then dad and I went to Justin Adam's wedding and up to Peach Days for a bit.  I had a Peach pastry treat and dad had a slushy drink.  We talked with people and gawked at all the weirdos and came home to bed...

Wednesday after school I ran over to Sky View to watch Halle play volleyball.  It was my turn to take the lunch.  I bought subs in Logan because the girls have been having that and really like it…  Adrianne Nessen helped me and she did chips, drinks, fruit, and a drink.  I think they enjoyed it.  They played 5 matches to this team .That night I had a cheer meeting for Homecoming Week, which is this next coming up week.  Monday night they bash a car and then there is dinner at the Hardy Party Barn.  They will be having Costa Vida.  Tuesday night is a movie on the field, Wednesday is beef cake volleyball, Thursday is powder puff, Friday the game, and Saturday the dance. 

Monday I finished squirting the back of the house off and finishing school work.  Very eventful…

Tuesday Halle had a team dinner at Elena Olsen’s house and an ortho apt after volleyball practice.  Clark Anderson got hit on his bike again.  He is in a neck brace and lucky to be alive. 

Friday was a good day.  We had a football game here.  We played Pocatello.  Plus it was Peach Days.  I can’t believe Box Elder scheduled a volleyball tournament. Dad and I went to the game.  It wasn’t the most outstanding game but it is just fun to go and enjoy the atmosphere. 

Hayley and Britton talked in sacrament today.  They did a good job.  Chance and Kyra came over.  Chance really is ready to go back out.  I think the last week of September or first week of October.  They just went to Navoo and Latisha got a kidney stone while they were there and she had to go to a scary ER but it turned out ok and she was better to tour all around the next day.

I love you so much and want to hear more about things there.  I want to get to know some of the people through you.  Fill me in.  So, many people ask about you and care.  I got a text from a new missionary out there’s parents.  His name is Elder  Flake.  The mom and dad were really nice and asked lot of questions. 

I helped Neves fill out his Visa application and paid for it.  Now he makes an appointment and will go when he is in Recife for volleyball with his team this week.  Then, he doesn’t have to pay for travel because he will already been there.  Pray so hard Cam!  It took us many hours to get this all done.  I am thankful we have that “Whatsapp” so we can communicate.  I get good vibes from Neves and I hope we can make this work. 

I love you son and I am so proud of you!  Be a good boy!  Choose the right          

Love you,

Mommmmmm, mommaaaa, mommyyy, MOM

Cameron: Yeah we do for the 23. The kid that is going to Ogden, his mom calls me here american son.  They are going to come visit me and bring me stuff in November.

Mom:  I am excited to meet them sometime.  How are you Cam?

Hello everyone!!! This week was great so September 7 is Brazil Independence Day. So we had a bar-b-q with the branch that was really good. This week we worked really hard looking for new investigators since we are new here in the area. It was a really a successful week. We saw a lot of results. It was so great. We found a lot of people really interested in the gospel. We will work more with them. Last week we played basketball with some branch members and man it was great to play some ball.
