June 30th

Hi Scott,
How are you doing?  I hope your second week in the field has gone well.  We were a little concerned with your comp.  Not sure if he was being a good trainer or not?  Hope you were able to get that taken care of with the mission president!! :)

Life is good here.  So hot we could die!  Temps have been in the 103 * range.  Yuck!  I know SLC has been a lot cooler than that!
The boys got home from the high adventure camp.  They had a lot of fun.  I think it was a really hard hike for them all.  They hiked in 8 miles!
Does not sound very fun, but they all loved it and had a great time.  Now it is just back to normal.  We still need to get all the camping equipment out of the living room and off the dining room table!  Everything is a mess right now, but hopefully tonight Dad and Jeff will work on that.

Well, the big news is that Dad & I are taking another trip to Europe!!  Dad has to go to Belgium again, so I will tag along with him.  We leave on July 7th, and return on the 18th.  We will go to Scotland (in honor of you) and Ireland this trip.  Also, we are planning on seeing Normandy France.  Anyhoo, it will be a good trip I am sure.  Don't panic if you don't hear from us!!!  I will try and send you an e-mail though.

Hope you have got the box I sent.  I also hope the garment tops were the right ones.  Don't lose any more of those! :)

Let me know if you want any others.  I also will send off your meds this week, so watch for them.  How are your knees doing?  I am not sure what to think of that?  Aleve works the best!

I am now at the end of Mosiah in my BOM reading.  I love it a lot!!  It has been so good to be reading the scriptures on a daily basis.  I know you are learning a lot too.

Well, better go, Dad just got home and we are having Spaghetti for dinner!
Love you lots,
Mom

Hey Hey!

Elder Owen!

I love getting your letters and hearing how great you are doing.  How fun to be out serving the Lord and not having to worry about anything else!  I hope you are enjoying and learning lots.  

We have been spending every day in the pool!  I love it.  Nate has been taking swim classes everyday for the last 5 weeks and still has about 2 more weeks to go.  Its more of an infant swim/survival course, but he is doing so great.  He loves to swim and thinks he is just as good as Carli.  They love to jump off the water fall, and Carli can even jump off and swim all the way to the edge.  Both of them are of course getting very tan as well.  Chad is now trying to get them to dive for things.  I just kick back, hang out and watch.  

Well, Nate just woke up from his nap so I better run.  Sorry this was so short.  I will write again soon.  

We love you.
