Hey mom! Things are going alright(: It's harder when it's this far in, at least for me. Tornado season isn't actually a season cause they happen all the time (according to the preppers out here xD) but yes it has started(: None yet though! All the dang storms split when they get near Siloam. It's kind of disappointing really. I love the thunderstorms out here!!!! Oh man that sucks about the car door! haha Sounds like an average week in the life of mom(: haha Love ya! I've been trying with the stories. It's hard to come up with em some time xD So much happens, yet so little at the same time. I'm glad Kira's ok! Dang allergies! I know Randy's dying for his picture:P I'm working on getting the little package sent out to ya'll(: I need money so it'll be the beginning of May that I can send it! I can't wait to see ya'll on Mother's Day either! We found a place to Skype at so I'll have to set it all up and send ya the details.. I love you mom!!! You're awesome!

This week's story I guess is from the weekend! (makes it easier to remember xD) haha Anyway so this week was something called the Dogwood Festival here in Siloam. It's HUGE here. The whole freaking county seemed to be in Downtown Siloam, which is tiny. But there were lots of people and we got permission to help out! So we got to go in normal clothes for most of the day(: It made missionary work easier, at least for me anyway. We talked to a lot of people and alot of people asked us questions: "What's with the name tags?" "Where do ya'll work?" "You're a Mormon right? Are ya'll allowed to do stuff like this?" haha they were mostly about being missionaries more than church but it was still awesome(: We talked to a ton of people, and spread the gospel very efficiently by picking up the trash xD Better than all that awesomeness though was the Coburns' baptism!!! It was awesome! Their aunt and uncle flew in from Florida to do it and man it was a cool experience(: My second official one! It's amazing to watch the change that takes place in people as their spirits begin to remember the things they were taught before coming here(: It just rings so true and familiar when people are open, so the change happens so fast, but is very noticable(: I love that family, and we'll have to go visit them in Colorado once they move(: That's it for this week!

Love you bunches mom(: Have an epic week!!!!

The car door was when the wind blew it open on me...it was so strong it bent it a little so now it squeaks...lol and Kira had an allergic reaction rash...these are a few of the things that he just responds to....so hopefully that is not as confusing.  But it is in the beginning of tornado season now, and we were reading up on the bad one on Sunday in Arkansas.  But it seems to have passed them by.   And we are very excited to Skype with him this time!!  He wasn't able to last time at Christmas.  I like his stories and I really hope he continues...cause guess what...we found out it was his second baptism just because he had it in the story!!!!  lol
