How are my favorite missionaries??? :)

I sure hope you are both doing GREAT!!!  Sorry Ryan that I had to call your mission home last week.  I was a bit scared due to the earthquake.  I need at least a note from you. :)  Chris, thank you for your beautiful emails. :)  Jessica is being great and posting them on a blog for you.  I just didn't have time!!!  So, I am very grateful to her.  She has been really stressed lately.  They were in an accident (no one was hurt).  Their car got hit pretty good (it was Tim's fault).  They were supposed to leave back to Idaho this weekend...their car isn't fixed.  They won't give them a time frame as to when it will be fixed.  Needless to say, that is really stressing her out!  So, I am sure she would appreciate some prayers.

Grandpa is really improving! He has gone to physical therapy a couple of times.  Really, he only had 1 real pt.  The others were assessments.  It really wears him out.  He is now going to go 3 times a week for 1 1/2 hours.  He will be in the cardiac rehab program for 12 weeks.  This week we have a couple of appointments with various doctors.  The first one is with his primary care doctor, the other one is with his cardiologist.  Hopefully, he will continue to get better and better!!!!

I started my pharmacology class.  I love it.  I sure miss being in the program, but it is all good. I also started the statistics class.  That one isn't so bad, but there is NO lecture involved.  I am supposed to read the chapter, take notes, and then do the questions at the end of the chapter.  Then  after "studying" I am supposed take a test.  Problem is....the stupid text doesn't teach very well.  In fact, I have to find "lectures" online from other places.  Dad has helped a little, but you know how he is...he goes WAY over my head!  It is all good though.  I have taken 2 tests so far and got 100% on them both.  Yep, I'm that good..ha,ha.

Tiffany got her Driver's License.  Only problem is that we went down on Wednesday after she tested to the DMV.  We barely made it before it closed.  Then we waited and waited and waited (you get the idea).  We were finally called up only to discover that Masterdrive did NOT sign the mandatory paper...UGH!!!  We got it signed and went on Thursday and spend about 3 1/2 hours before we were out of there...it is HORRIBLE!!  So, she was able to drive to seminary and then to  on Friday.  She thought that was GREAT!  I am not going to lie...I thought it was great!

We had an awesome sacrament meeting today!!!!  The bishopric all spoke.  It was all on Charity.  I think I need to really work harder on it..especially where It is concerned.  She still is driving me nuts, but I am trying to make things easier.  I don't know if I will ever like her, but I will continue to push forward.

Oh, Dad bought me a new computer.  It is pretty sweet!!  It is NOT an apple this time!!!  It was actually cheaper than the Apple that I returned and it is much FASTER!! I already love it! 

Well, it is getting late and I need to sleep. :)  I sure am proud of you both!!!  Always remember who you are!  Be strictly obedient.  Work as hard as you play.  Mind your p's and q's.   Know that I love you beyond measure!

Love,

Mom
