A New Elder

This is Elder Daniel Garcia from Georgetown, Texas. He is on his last leg of his mission having only three months left. He reminds us a lot of Cory's friend Jon Hawkes. He is a bit hyper and driving Elder Quintero crazy. (bear in mind that Elder Quintero is 25 almost 26). He describes him as the squirrel on "Over the Hedge" a pretty accurate comparison. Yet we enjoy his energy and enthusiasm. We celebrated his 21st birthday yesterday.
The zone here has been changed to totally bilingual. Meaning all the missionaries here will have to be able to speak Spanish. There is no longer a set of Spanish Elders. So Cory has to learn Spanish. His companions are trying to teach him some things. I did draw the line when they said our home should be all Spanish speaking. No offense to anyone, but I still think we need to speak English in America. We love our new Elder, but always miss the ones who left us. Elder Johnson was a great leader and has moved on to Idaho Falls as a district leader.

Playing on the court

We had a great time with the kids a couple of weeks ago when we took Cory, or rather Elder Potter to Salt Lake to get a small procedure done. He had special permission to make the trip which will now be his last until the end of his mission. Needless to say we were happy to get to spend a short time with Jeremy, Jessica, Rachel, Jaden and Brooklyn. Ryan was at work.
Jeremy took us on the Jazz court for the kids to have a nice play area. They loved it.
Oh so much fun.

My three kids and two grandkids. No, Cory does not have headlights on his chair, just a really good glare factor.

I was trying to get Jaden to look at the camera, so I pulled out my phone to get his attention. He likes phones. However in the process of playing with my phone he managed to call Wes and leave him a voice message, and call Jeremy and Cory's phones. I need him to teach me how to use my phone. It was all good until he started checking to see if the phone could bounce like a basketball.

fortunately my phone still works.

This picture had to be quick as he did not leave the hat on.

Jaden is showing Brooklyn my phone. They are sitting in the Jazz players chairs. Future stars, maybe.

Score! three pointer

Do ya wanna dance?
