June

Life is very busy these days, which is why I haven't posted much, but there seems to be so much to report.

First - Kyrie and Lorien called from Mexico to say that things are going well on their missions trip. In fact, Kyrie got the opportunity to present the Gospel Tuesday night - in Spanish. She was funny though. "Mom," she said, "I don't really know what I said! I hope it was right!" They are getting lots of work done, and Dad and Arne are sufficiently arguing about which is the right way to accomplish the construction :) !! Yesterday they were supposed to go to the river, and today they are back on task.

Jathan is doing well these days. His girlfriend, Sonya, and her mother are coming to visit him next weekend, which he is really excited about. I am hoping that their platoon doesn't blow it for that visit! His studies are going well, and he is recovering from a bout with some sort of respiratory junk.

Kesse is working her heart out - 10 - 12 hours a day, trying to get enough money to make it back to Bryan in the spring. She has enough for the fall semester. I think that this may be the toughest work schedule she has ever had. She has to do telemarketing for 6 hours a day - yuck! She is holding up, but I think that if she never did telemarketing again, it wouldn't be too soon.

Aleya has had lots of fun while the girls have been away. She spent last week with her good friend Rachel, and this week she got to play with Emma Seyler, and spend the afternoons with Bridget. She is not suffering! I think that they are going to the pool today.

Tom is working lots of hours, but finished up his Sunday school class this past week. He is thankful for that. We are starting a new study with another couple in the church that looks to be very interesting. I am looking forward to that.

We have lots of students - and I have lots of math students. It will be a very busy 6 weeks.

We are thankful for all the Lord is doing. Please continue to pray for Adam and family as he looks for work!
