October 16th

Elder Jensen,

I sure miss you.  I am getting excited to talk to you on Christmas.  Last Christmas was a little too hard on me.  I had a heartache after and I hated it.  I am hoping with it being on the down hill side, I will be better at saying, "see you later".  I love seeing and talking to you, it's just the goodbye that stinks. I am sure glad I have you to miss though.  I am so glad you are where you are at, even though I can't wait until it is over.

Neves is very happy here and he doesn't seem homesick at all.  I ask him if he is sad at all and he says no.  I say are you sure, you can tell me if you are.  He says I miss my friends a little but not enough to go back, I LOVE it here. Elder Heaton came up Friday night.  They ate pizza and hung out here for a few hours and then went back to Elder Heaton's house.  Neves said they went to dinner and just went home.  Saturday they went back to his friend Nate's house to record music in his music studio that he has in the house.  Then, they went to the Weber State football game. He got some money for his birthday and bought a few things at Shopko.  I want to take him Ogden or Layton so he can see what there really is.  He helped Grandpa Leon, a few days.  He was sooo funny telling us about the cows and the chickens.  He said, "I have no courage and tell myself I can do this and then turn around and grandpa left me alone."  HA!  We carved pumpkins.  The Ellsworths were here one night and they thought he was pretty cool.  The one day I had come home and he had emptied the dishwasher and folded the clothes in the dryer.  He is a good boy and I just home he can find his future here or he will be sad as will we.

Grammy had her foot operated on.  It is the one that is deformed because of her polio when she was young.  She seems to be doing o.k. but she can't drive or get around too easy.

Halle had a volleyball tournament all day over in Logan.  She left at 6:30am.  Annie had Sadie's dance.  I didn't get to see either one of them.  I went to Janica and Mike's wedding ceremony.  There was some awesome stories told and it is great to be reminded that we have a heavenly father that loves us enough to teach us and answer our blessings how they fit best for us.

Grandpa John, Mark and Luke are supposed to go hunting but it is supposed to rain and snow.  Dad will just get the trailer out if it does.  He says it is colder than ever this year.  I planning on going to go up on Fall Break which is this weekend.

Luke is working at Smith's as a bagger.  Annie is working at Maddox busing tables.  I hope Annie doesn't take on more than she can do.  Second trimester is the worst when it comes to cheerleaders being so busy.  I guess she can just give it a try.

The Ellsworth boys will be coming tomorrow night and stay until Wednesday.  Halle has a volleyball game that afternoon so I will meet their grandpa with them.

Andrew, Neves and I went to the girl's volleyball last week too.  He loved it and Andrew told him to look at their rear ends to see if he likes any of them.  He was frustrated a few times with how the girls wouldn't attack the ball.  I think they were so fierce but some of the things he says I think they do play a little different.

You haven't told me much about being a district leader, investigators, or etc.  I am really wanting to pray for you and think about what you're doing so fill me in.  I love you son!  I love you to the moon!!! Be safe!

Mom

Cameron:  I am glad everything is going good.

Mom:  How are things for you?

Cameron:  Things are good.

Mom:  What is going on?

Cameron: Nothing much.  It is just the same old.  Is it fall break this week?

Mom:  Yes, but I don't know for sure if we will go up or not.  Dad said it's colder than it's ever been.

Cameron:  How did Neves like the River Ward?

Mom:  He liked it but was a little disappointed that there wasn't anyone his age.  He wants to try the YSA ward next week.  He talked with Joel and David Nelson.

Cameron:  So, I have been talking to Briar about Utah State and I want to live with him.  He is going to stay home for the first semester too.

Mom: That sounds great!  It will give both of you some time to get in the groove of things.  Plus your mom will love having you home.  I think we are going to get Neves a student visa before anything else.  I talked with the BYU coach and he has to be a student to try out.  I think we will just do the USU extension for now and try on other things also because he just missed tryouts until next year.  He wants to try football.  I miss you Bubba!

Cameron:  Don't wait long to get him studying because who knows how hard it will be and how much time so start soon. I need him there when I get home.

Mom:  Who are your investigators?  How's church there?  Neves was surprised at our church building.  Adia Migliori is taking him to the singles ward not this Sunday but the next one after that.

He came home after being with Heaton and said I like my friends and their families but I'm always happy to come back home here.  It's HOME!  What a sweetheart!  He told us you shouldn't iron without any clothes on... ha!  Did you have an accident?  Love his stories.

Mom:  We have a few that I hoping we can get baptized in the next couple weeks...  good for Neves.  ha!ha! yeah!

Cameron:  Leonardo 25, Ludimila 25 Joyce 35, Deisiune 33, and David 8. If you send something with Cody can you send me a pair of Johnston and Murphy shoes, size 10.5. Gotta go, I love you!

Mom:  I love you son!
