West Desert!!!

In 2008 our family started our own geocache in the west desert in Utah.  We drove out to Lakeside Utah today and tried to find the cache.  It was so fun.  We did find it and noticed 15 people have signed our book telling us they found the cache.  It was a little cold, but so much fun!  On the way we saw antelope, fox, badger, and lots of rabbits.  What a fun Sunday ride.  We took a treat and had a blast.

The desert was so dry but so beautiful.  Check out the two cactus flowers on the side of the road.  This just goes to prove that there is beauty all around!

"Room of Requirements"

Ok, here is a little Harry Potter for you. This is what happens when you have been in the MTC too long. Nathan found what they are calling "the room of requirements" I guess they needed some much deserved time to let off some steam. I recognize those black socks! I am glad that he is having a great time. He is supposed to leave for Mexico this week. We still haven't heard anything yet. Hope the Visa goes through. He sounds good and is loving his mission so far. Thanks for all the prayers!

It is so nice to see the goofy kid is still in there! Can't wait to hear all the details!

Elder Nelson

Well, we survived the MTC drop off. It was honestly one of the hardest and most wonderful things I have ever done. So proud that Nathan had the guts to do it. I don't know if I would! He was so nervous! We went to Brick Oven before and met sooooo many missionaries there doing the same thing. He met two going to Mexico--not his mission, but it was fun.

He is doing well. He told me he likes the food, his companion is cool and his district is cool. He isn't full of a lot of information, but then again he never was! Ha Ha! In his own way he let us know he is doing ok.

I pray so hard for him. I miss him, and the house is so quiet, but this is what we have dreamed of all his life. I am so grateful for my wonderful Bubba!
