WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU!
Tonight for Family Home Evening we got together and had a lesson on serving our country. We began the night by looking at a map at where we live and then where Uncle Adam is.....as Payt says, "Half way around the world, that is cool!" That lead to quite an interesting conversation with Payton as to why Adam is there and what he is doing in that part of the world. He then asked several questions about Iraq, their old leader, and why their current leadership doesn't like us. We explained the best we could and helped him to see that Heavenly Father wants all of his children to be free and able to make choices. Next we made some cookies and colored pictures to be placed inside a package that is on the way.
The girls both drew a picture....they are excited for you to get it.

Payton is participating in the talent show at school by sharing 'magic tricks' with others and then selling the trick for money to donate to the school. He wants to share one of his magic tricks with you below.....pretty good if I say so myself.
Here are few extra pictures of our night....it was a lot fun and we remembered how much fun you are to have around. We are all looking forward to you and Shalisa moving closer to us so you can come down or we can go up whenever we want. Be safe and know that there is a family in Texas that loves you!

Thank you Adam for all that you do we that we are safe, cool, and happy. Because of you and others like you we get to enjoy all our toys and friends. We love you! Ryan, April, Payton, Abby, and Ashlyn (& Maisy)
