Hey Mom & Dad,

  It's so crazy up here. It snowed here Friday which is crazy because it's not suppose to snow here in Florence. All the water is frozen and some of the lakes are also frozen. That is good Brooke will move in soon. I am excited for her. I am glad you are staying busy. I love talking about Christ and His atonement. I cry all the time when anyone talks about that. I did see the Christmas devotional. It was really good. We had a zone meeting and we are going to get iPads and Facebook in January. So that will be pretty cool. That is sweet Karlee is getting ready to pop our her baby. I bet she is getting really excited. I couldn't open up Weston's gymnastics so can you send it again. Thank you for my boots, that will help me since we are doing so much service. That is crazy about Lindsey Davis kids. I am glad they are doing all right. That's crazy Sam Calhoun just had another baby, good for her! Scott Reheis is getting married to Rhondalee Jones! That's weird but it's also good news. It sounds like Warren Solomon is doing the 4 step program with you. Have you guys picked a date yet?
  So a crazy thing happened Sunday. We had stake conference and we sat by this lady I didn't know and some member from the Florence Ward. So I started talking to her and her name is Sister Allen. I asked if she had any relatives from Arizona and she said yes but not from her husbands side. She ask me where I was from and I said Queen Creek and she has a cousin Micah Rogers. I said "dang, I know that guy, I like him." I told her Bro Rogers had a grandma that lives somewhere up here and she told me she lives in Yakats which is just north of Florence. So that was really cool that I got to talk to her. It's crazy how small the world is:) Well, that's about all that has happened this week.
  So I got Vanessa's email and she sent me a photo of her. She looks good and happy. She took a picture of her in front of an oregon sign:) She said in Illinois there is a town called Oregon. haha isn't that sweet. I sent her a birthday present and she seemed really happy to get it:)
  Well, I love you and hope you have a good week. Tell the family that I love them. Could you send me some more horseshoe key rings? Thanks for everything you do for me.

I sure do love you
