Dear Hermanaivebeenworriedwonderingwhathappened,

Hello my cute Kaitlynn! How was your week? It looks like you're having a lot of fun with your district. Have you felt like there's a big improvement in the weather?

I talked to the Mackey mom about you, and Noah's mom about you and all the random ladies at my stake relief society activity about you. Everyone loves you!

For that activity, we went tubing down the Provo River. It was so fun. I invited Tricia to go with me. When we were trying to get out of our boat, she fell in. Lol. I jumped in after her to support her in her misery. I didn't save her or her hat that floated away, but I think she felt loved.

I took Nata and Benjo to the cheese factory. We loved it. Nata was being quiet as she worked with an old man cutting the cheese. I whispered to her that she needed to start talking to him and to try to be nice. She did, and in the end she fell in love with him. It was one of those life lessons: that if we just try, we can make friends and be blessed.

Then we went to the Bountiful Temple. It is so pretty.

Alexa had a great time at FSY. You'll have to ask her about her cow 🐄 and her job interview. Unless it goes bad. Then we don't wanna talk about it.

I love you! I'm proud of you!

Love,

Mom
