Valentine's Day, No letter from Kaden this week :(

Valentine's Day

Hey Kaden,

Sounds like you are busy and working hard.  That is great to hear.  I would like to hear more of your spiritual experiences and feelings that you have and how your testimony has grown or changed.  

How is Tanya and her family doing since they were baptized?

Also label your pictures when you send them so we know what they are or who the peopel are! :)

We decided to go with dad next week to California.  I hope it is fun. The air here has been so bad. Like in the orange and red levels where you shouldn't go outside. My allergies are so bad. I must be allergic to pollution.  We did have some snow today that cleared the air here and it felt so good to go outside and walk around. Hopefully in California it will be sunny and nice.

Yesterday we went up to Snowbasin. Dad rode his bike, Shanee ran. and me and ky and tal walked around.  It was nice and sunny up there, not foggy and cold like it has been here. There were a lot of people up there probably trying to get out of the pollution like we were.

We made valentine sugar cookies and Talmage made a heart cake for Valentines Day so we have had lots of sugar today. I made roast beef today and you weren't here to eat it so I don't know what I'm going to do with all the meat. 
Talmage's teacher at church told me that he stood up the entire time of primary, including singing time.  He says he did it because he was bored.  That is something Shanee would do so it makes me worried.  I told you he has been acting strange lately.

Did you get the Valentine package we sent you?

Chad called and he asked me if he wrote you or emailed if you would respond back and I said I don't know.  He doesn't answer any of my questions.

Lots of people asked me how you are doing today at church. I had to do a little write up about you for the ward newsletter.  

Today was ward conference. President Eddignton spoke and he gave a great talk about how when we do hard things, especially those things that we are scared to do but know we need to do, we are creating a miracle.  The way he said it made sense.  He used a scripture from the bom that says something like that. It went so well with missionary work. I'm sure it is scary to have to open your mouth and talk to people all the time but you are creating miracles in peoples lives.  Like Tanya and the other people you are teaching.  The gospel is the greatest blessing they can ever receive in this life. 

I love you!  I'm very proud of you.  Love, mom 

Hey Kaden,

how is everything going? So are you living in an apartment or someones home?

Looks like next week we will be in CA I've got to go for work while Mom, Shanee Ky and Tal go have fun.

This Thursday is the Simplot games Shanee is running the two mile if she makes the finals we will need to go back up on Saturday.

Anyway hope all is going well be safe and pay attention to whats going on around you.

Love Dad

Hey Kaden, how is it going in Washington? Lots of things have been happening this week like at school we had registration for tenth grade. My electives are weightlifting, orchestra, pottery, health, spanish 4, fit for life, and Part Skills.

On Friday I had a track meet at the Olympic Ice Oval in Salt Lake. I ran the mile and I got my PR 5:27.

This Saturday we went to Snow Basin because the air has been really bad this week. The air has been defined in the red zone. The air is good now though because it snowed/rained yesterday and last night.

We did not do anything for Valentine's day but my school gave every girl a flower on Friday which must have been expensive.

Hope you had a good Valentine's Day, did you get to do anything for Valentine's Day?

Hope you find lots o. people to teach that will listen to you and your companion. :) 

Love, Shanee
