Fun with family







Well me and Jesse are still toughing it out here in Moscow...we have 10 days left and then we are done and hopefully the stress will be over. We have been blessed with a few things while we have been here and we are really greatful for those things. We were provided with a place to live, we have had to rely completly on eachother, and we have been close to my family in Washington. A few weekends ago we decided to head up to spokane to see mom and dad just for the night and we had a really good time. We went to a military retirement dinner, and then we just took a walk in the park which was really fun! We just talked and walked. We got to a water fountain in down town Spokane and me and Jesse decided to be young and spontainous and run through it in our good clothes... and then Jesse and dad got the bright idea of getting pictures in front of the fountains that made them look like thye were peeing a stream of water. The lady that was sitting beside us knew what they were doing and was laughing her head off. We really did have a good time and we are VERY greatful for parents that support us and are NOT old and boring. They still know how to have fun and always will.

Testimony

Latley I have been listening to confrence talks on my ipod while i'm at work. I have really enjoyed it and have started to think more about my testimony and how I still have room to improve on the feelings that I feel. I just wanted to let my family and everyone else who reads this blog that I do have a testimony. I know that God is our Father and he watches over us and knows each one of us by name. I know that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world and that through him we will be able to gain eternal life. I know what the preisthood is the power of God on earth. I know that through the ordinances that we recive through the priesthood we can live together forever with our families. I know what the scriptures are a source by which we can draw closer to our Heavenly Father and a source of answers for us. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the True church upon the earth today, it is headed and directed by Jesus Christ through the living prophet President Monson. He is the living prophet who recieves revelation for our time. The Savior lives and is on our side if we will let him heal us. I don't know how everything works and i'm still learning alot and continuing to do the best that i can so that one day I will be able to return to my Father in Heaven and live forever with him.

Happy 4th of July

Well we have a month left before we are done here in Moscow, I would like to say that we have enjoyed it but we are still working on that. We did get to take a break and head to Pinedale Wyoming for the 4th of July. It was a long trip but we made it there. We stopped in Rexburg and stayed in our apartment on the way down. We had forgotten how nice of an apartment we have and were grateful that we could sleep in a "real" bed instead of an airmatress. We got to Burnt Lake on July 3rd and had set up camp with the rest of Jesses family who was already there. It was really good to see his family and we appreciate all that they do for us. We had a lot of fun fishing on the lake, the first day that we were out with his grandpa we caught 21 between the four of us in like an hour, ( now that is my kind of fishing). We didn't really catch any of a great size but they were all pretty good. I think that Jesse had a really good time and got the relaxing he needed to get in to finish out his comittment to this internship.
