Texas is still big. And still a republic.
This last Friday, Amanda and I went to the Houston temple for our ward temple night. We had a good time. Since our car is not in the best condition, and we were worried it wouldn’t make it there and back again, Amanda spent the day calling ward members to find some people to car-pool with. After becoming friends with the entire ward, she found us a ride. We rode with one of the counselors and his wife. I knew it was a mistake because on Sunday he gave us a speaking assignment.
Yesterday, my friend and his wife stayed the night at our place. They were in Houston looking for a house to live in while he goes to optometry school. I learned that Amanda is just as good at scrabble when there are four players as when there are two. Her score was almost as big as when she plays against only me.
For those who want to see me working, look at the picture I attached. I’m taking road sign samples down to use in a machine that tells me what color each one is and how well it can be seen at night.
Today Amanda left for girls camp (she’s an advisor to the beehive girls). Family Home Evening has never been so easy to plan. I know who is saying the opening prayer, giving the lesson, choosing the activity, and providing the treats. As head of the family I decided there would be no opening or closing song today.
I know Amanda is the favorite of the two of us so I’ve included a photo of her for y’all.
Love,
Brad
Dear Family,
I am at girls camp. I love my calling! And we had real Blue Bell ice cream – it’s a Texas thing.
Love,
Amanda (but really Brad)
