Dear Hermanabeautifuldaughter,

How has your week been? Have you been feeling better?

Dad replaced the brakes and the rotors on the Rav. It went really smooth. Mason and Alexa were great helpers.

Nata and Benjo celebrated their one year anniversary on Saturday. Isn't that crazy? How time has gone so fast?

We had hamburgers and fireworks for the 24th. All of the Ballard kids came over and did the fireworks with us. And then we had a fire pit and I found some hard marshmallows to roast. It was a fun day.

Ryker Hoskin had his homecoming today. He has grown up a lot. We went over to their house after. It is fun to see all the growth that happens from a mission.

I love you! I'm proud of you!

Love,

Mom

(Appended quote) "When the focus of our lives is on God's plan of salvation... and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening - or not happening - in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him... For Latter-day Saints, Jesus Christ is joy! That is why our missionaries leave their homes to preach His gospel. Their goal is not to increase the number of Church members. Rather, our missionaries teach and baptize to bring joy to the people of the world!" -President Nelson
