Caleb & Jacob:
Another week has blitzed by. I'm in the middle of trying to marshal tooling so I can build cabinets for our food storage room. It's fun to do things with my hands. I've always thought that I'm adequately handy and so I look forward to the challenge of cabinet making. It's already and is yet going to be a blast.
One of the things that I'm learning to appreciate in this new ward is home teaching. Adam and I teach three families. One is a single lady, another is a couple with all sorts of disfunction they have to deal with. The last is a family whose kids are so incredibly immature that finally I talked to the Dad and asked him to encourage his kids to sit quietly for a few minutes while we come in and say hello. In fact, we no longer leave a message in their home because I think the kids don't have the attention span to deal with it. Regardless, this month the single lady has vertigo, the couple is dealing with all sort of health issues, and so on.
All of this makes me tremendously thankful for my situation. When I think of the things I'm thankful for, the two of you are at the top of the list. I'm so thankful for you, your goodness, and your attitudes toward your missions. It's inspiring to watch you make good decisions with your lives. Keep it up.
Last week was a long email so this week I'm making it shorter. I love you both so much. Have a great week.
Dad
