Things going well in Fabens

What a sweet surprise I got in the mail yesterday. Elder Page sent me a homemade birthday present and I LOVE IT! Thank you so much Matthew. He is getting adjusted with a new companion, Elder Nuttal. I guess we will hear how it is going in next weeks letter. They are teaching a young family right now and have committed them to baptism. He is nervous about leading out in the area. He will do fine! Keep those cards and letters coming!

The package has arrived!

Well the package arrived safely yesterday....after having to go thru every time zone you can think of, Jaclyn is finally here! We are so happy to see her again, especially with Dallin home. They are quickly getting reacquainted. It is so nice that she will be here a while instead of a weekend trip. I will keep you posted on all the things we do while she is here.

I'm the Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday to ME! Yep another one has come and is almost over. I am falling fast on the other side of the hill! YIKES! I had a fun day with Steve even though I was not feeling great. He took me to lunch and we did some shopping until I gave out and was just too tired...had to get back home and lay down....that is what getting old does to you :) No I have just been sick for the last while. Hopefully I am on the up and up! I got lots of birthday wishes and my friends took me to lunch yesterday. It was so good to get out. No matter how bad I feel I can always laugh with my sweetie! We had fun taking pictures today. We kept laughing because Steve's face was always so big in the picture! Oh well I love him! Thanks for a great Birthday Sweetie!

Elder Page stays in Fabens Texas

Elder Page will be in Fabens one atleast one more transfer. Not sure who is new companion is yet. We have not heard from him yet this week. This is Matt with his BFF Hermano Rivas. He has just been released as the Ward Mission leader. I am sure he will still be getting fresh bread from the bakery every day.

ThE HomEcoMinG!

Sunday was Dallin's homecoming. It was a full day with family and friends. He gave a wonderful talk, sharing some experiences from his mission, and also his testimony. There were lots of visitors there to listen and feel of his spirit. Family came by for lunch and friends stopped by that evening for an open house. So many came, many we had not seen for a while, so it was a great time to catch up. Thanks to every one who came to support Dallin and to welcome him home!

A night with the Bobcats

It was Friday night @ the Bobcats game. They played the Cleveland Cavaliers. Tory and Alcides had been waiting for over a month for this game, me not so much. I use to love watching professional Basketball, but not so much any more. Lebron James is who they came to see. He really never showed up though...guess he gave it all he had the night before against the Nuggets. It was fun just being together though, laughing, and talking. It has been so nice having Dallin home again. He is so much fun to be around. Here are a few pictures from the evening.Dallin with the hotdog guy!

Dallin what is the yawning for, the game has not even started!
