Just today, I called Steve's mom, Marcia, she had asked me to find some family names that she could give to Aunt Judy who is coming into town. I was going to tell her that I found 23 names last night...yay... but when I asked how she was doing, she said, "Not well at all." She proceeded to tell me that her stomach was really hurting, and it made her come home from church. She was breaking out in a cold sweat and was in a lot of pain. When she described it to me, I told her to go to the emergency room, because I think it's her gallbladder. Guess what? I was right!! They said she has all sorts of gallstones and sludge in her gallbladder, and she needs to schedule to have it removed. I'm so sad for her, but so glad that I was able to tell her to go to the hospital. She says she doesn't believe it's a coincidence! I called at just the right time to tell her to go. I think it really helped her.
Conner went to the Nike SPARQ combine, which is a football program where they test your skills in 5 or 6 areas, and rate you against other football players nationwide. They rate in each area individually, and then give you a combined score. So Conner's best event was the vertical jump, he rated in the 99th percentile, which means there are only 1% of football players in the entire country who can jump as high as him. Then he did the 40 yard dash and got in the 97th percentile. Only 3% can run as fast or faster than him. All of his events went really well and his combined score was 80%, which means he is talented enough to get into any college just based on his football skills. Crazy huh! Coach Cloward says Conner is a "freak of nature", he's so athletically talented.
I went in on Wednesday and had Sarah Hardy cut my hair. It was getting too long, and was really bugging me. I had her cut about 3 or 4 inches off. I was starting to feel like a frumpy old house wife. It is so hard for me to control. I really like how she cut my hair. It's layered around the edges, and feels so much better. She also waxed my eyebrows. I told her I my miss my daughters so much, Kaylea and Jessica are the people who take care of the eyebrows for me. Haha!
Jessica and her family went to Disneyland. I haven't talked to her since they got back, but she of course, posted a lot of pictures. Avery LOVES Minnie, and Alice (in Wonderland), she looks like she had a blast. Huge grins in every picture.
Here's a little bit of Kaylea's letter:
We had some referrals to contact this week and something HORRIFYING happened!! Well we opened up this gate and knocked on this door... and well the family wasn't interested BUT they forgot their back door was open so their dang pitbull came RUNNING AT US!!!! And while we were trying to invite them to come unto Christ, here we were about to die... and I had two thoughts cross my mind.... number one... RUN. Number two... Hold out the Book of Mormon!!! because I have heard so many stories of the Book of Mormon deflecting crazy animals! Well... I don't want you all to think that I don't have faith... because I decided to just run and hop over the fence... BUT! THIS was the first time I have EVER been actually chased by a death seeking monster.... hahaha! You can't be a missionary without a dog story right?? So... I'm definitely a missionary!
