TIS LOVE THAT WE BRING

What a wonderful day. The Sauce spoke in Sacrament Meeting with Kyle Butler giving his farewell talk. Great sacrament meeting. Mild Sauce got his patriarichal blessing, very special occasion for him. We celebrated Hot Sauce's birthday a day early. Nineteen. Wow. Time goes by soooo fast. It was an awesome day for us. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CURTIS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. TIS LOVE THAT WE BRING, TIS LOVE THAT WE BRING. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CURTIS, TIS LOVE THAT WE BRING! Some young women in my ward made up a second verse to the song and I wanted to share it.

Cherries

Mild, Hot and the Sauce are all working cherries this summer and it starts tomorrow-Thursday. Mike will be driving truck, Nick, a tractor -graveyard shift for Mountainland (Bishop's family) and Curtis day shift at plant A for Bishop's cousins family-Chad Rowley. LET THE CHERRY SEASON BEGIN!

A Nightmare, I called it. Andy's responsen " IT'S AN EXPERIENCE."

W O W ! That's all I can describe when I think about what has taken place the last few days. I never knew finding a vehicle could be so difficult. It all started when we found a car in Auto Trader. Okay so the car we liked was in California. No problem. Andy had been on the phone with the owner and checked out the car online several times. He had done the research.. The plan was for he and I to fly to Long Beach, get picked up by the owner and the next day dry back home. 3 days later we're home, but with a car we purchased in Phoenix. But I will never forget Emmanuel and I hope we see him again. I'm so grateful he came into our lives. Born in the Philippines, spent some time in the country of Jordan, where his dad is from and raised in Huntington Beach California by his half white, half asian mother. What an amazing young man for being 25yrs old. So polite, so curtious and gracious, smart, handsome and concious. If only I had a daughter. The buick regal, the tow truck, the motel rooms, the buick dealer... It would take me to long to type. Ask me about it someday. "IT'S AN EXPERIENCE!" If we hadn't of had this, we wouldn't have made a new friend- Emmanuel-I'm grateful.

MISSION CALL

Hot sauce is going to the Nebraska, Omaha Mission. I have a cousin, Tommi, who lives in Lincoln. This mission also covers parts of Iowa, a little bit of S. Dakota and Kansas. Elder Curtis J. Hindes. That has a nice ring to it. He reports to the Provo, Utah MTC on Oct. 19, 2011. The Sauce reported there for his mission on Oct. 15, 2008. Excited for you Curtis.

Hot Sauce Ordained an Elder

Hot Sauce was ordained to the Melchezidek Priesthood today as an Elder. The priesthood is the power to act in the Lord's name. Men have to be worthy to hold it. I'm so thankful for the priesthood and the influence it has in my life. It was special. Andy ordained him with Mike, Jason, Grandpa Hindes and Bishop and Brother Hunsacker from the high council in the circle. Grandpa Hindes gave the opening prayer and I was asked to share my testimony at the closing. We are waitng now to get Curtis' mission call. How exciting that will be. He had dreams recently that he was called to the Illinois mission and then at another occasion he went to Mexico. Now we wait. Could be 2 weeks before the post office calls us with his mission call. Until then, we'll be anxiously awaiting.
