We all had a relaxing and fun time this holiday. On Thursday afternoon we went to Carpinteria beach where we met up with Donald and Sam. Friday was a blast doing the traditional swim, BBQ, go the movies and then watch fireworks kinda thing. On Friday morning there was a pancake breakfast at the church. We hung out with friends and Heidi's family most of the day. Saturday was more a a recoup day with another movie and then dinner with the Riddles at Don Cuco's. We hope everyone out there had a great time.
Now we head into the birthday celebrations where we have on Heidi's side of the family 6 birthdays over the next 12 days. Yikes!
On the missionary front we are praying for the quick recovery of Elder Tyler French serving in the Ogden, Utah mission. Tyler underwent surgery the other day on his shoulder (an old football injury). From all reports he is doing great. We also enjoy receiving the letters of Elder Adam Figgat who comes home soon from the Cleveland, Ohio Mission and Elder Brandon Crow serving in Seoul, South Korea. All of them great young men.
