We're here

Ah, after much poking and prodding, and pulling of teeth, I have, at last, sat down to write. You would think that with the transcription course that I would have no problem typing out a quick and easy letter. However, my fingers would tell you a different story. Lets just say they feel as though the wicked witch with behind them(imagine her voice when she’s telling the monkeys “fly my beauties, fly!”) “Type, faster, faster! Pinky! Come back here, stop wondering off like that!”
Well, here goes. As of late, we’ve had a change in heart about school. Steven really doesn’t want to do the hearing instrument program, but instead he really really wants to study mechanical engineering and to eventually become a biomedical engineer. So after fasting and praying, he has sent in him application for BYU-Idaho. We are hoping to be able to attend this January! Everything has been falling into place. Lots of information and money have been flying our way. Heavenly Father is being very generous and Steven is very excited.
We’ve even filled out subsidized housing applications and are now on some waiting lists. So everything will work out. Steve is taking a math class at the comm.. college so he can get caught up and refreshed.
Also, my job, as a test proctor, has been really fun. I’ve been trapped inside an office for 6 hours at a time. One of my co-workers, Richelle, starting asking gobs of questions about my mission( I always let that one slip out) and then about the church and values and then about the book of mormon. Now remember we work about 6-8 hours together in one day while watching people take tests so we covered lots of topics. One morning she came in and said that her father had been meeting with the missionaries and her step-mother had been really against it. So the step-mother got on the internet and bombarded the poor man with anti stuff. Of course her biggest find was that Mormons believe they can become gods and have their own kingdoms. So Richelle asks me about this and a tester raises their hand to got use the restroom, so I go in the testing room to escort them out and at the same time praying about what to say. So when we can talk again I asked her who she thinks God is and have she thinks His reason is for putting us here. She thought for about 5 min, and then said Well, I think that He is our Father, and well this could just be crazy but, doesn’t He want to become like Him and have what He has?” I just about burst laughing and told her that she had figured out some of the most important doctrine there is. I invited her out to church. She came, met with the missionaries, has been going to church ever since. She has a 2 yr old girl that she loves bring to church.
So on Saturday, Richelle is going to be baptized! She’s so ready for it too. She actually ponders about things and receives revelation. She’s so wonderful. It’s exciting.

Baby fever! Yes, we’ve caught it. However, we haven’t let it get to our heads. No, we’re definitely not pregnant. Do you really think that we would tell you like this? Come on. I might not contact ya’ll that often, but we would at least call. J Anyway, fun stuff. I been talking to my co-workers about babies, pregnancy, and practically every aspect of it. Well, Richelle particularly has been giving us tons of baby stuff. From high chair, books, monitors, to even pulling a playnpak out of a garbage can. (her neighbors didn’t want to go to goodwill) Everything is in great shape. Another co-worker wants to give us her crib. Can we say BLESSINGS! I guess that’s all I wanted to say we’ve been extremely blessed. We love you!!!--Summer and Steven
