I haven't updated in awhile because there hasn't been much to update. We are all doing well, the kids are adjusting to school and riding the bus and they are all doing fantastic. There are 2 wards here and we have been going to the 1st ward but we still haven't found a house so we aren't sure if this is where we will be. We found a house we really like and it is out on an acreage, but we will have to see. Anyways, the kids have been going to scouts and activity days etc. in the 1st ward and have already made some good friends. They actually do a lot together with both wards, so last week both wards did a service project with the food bank. They were gathering food for them, along with other volunteers from the community. (the food bank was low on food--it seems like it always was back at home too). So Tim took the kids-except Brynley and went to help. It took them about 2 hours but he said they had so much fun. At first Bradley and Ethan were going together from door to door but eventually Ethan got brave enough to do it himself and Tim said he got the most food out of everyone. He's is just such a cutie no one could resist his charm. Also Kinsey and our cousin Jeff were going together and eventually she got brave enough to do it herself too. She also got a lot of food. Altogether they had such a great experience.
Then last Saturday there is an LDS lady who lives close by who's husband passed away years ago and she was out chopping wood for the winter-- we got some trees planted here at Sherry and Rons and then we all packed up and went to help her. It only took us about an hour and we got all her wood cut, split and stacked. She had been out doing that since 9 that morning and when we got there is was about 4 in the afternoon.
We have been so blessed to have the opportunity to serve. I'm also so glad that the kids have been right in there with us helping and feeling the joy of serving others.
Tyler is on the 7-8 grade football team. They have had 3 games and they have won all three. The team is quite good and they have actually won by about 40 points each game. Tyler is really enjoying it and is making some good friends. The head coach is LDS and there are about 6 other kids who are on the team that are too. Tyler also thinks it's cool that there are 3 girls who play on his team as well. Tim enjoys it too because he has been helping coach. He really enjoys that.
I realize I haven't put any pictures up but I will get some up this week.
