Sister Charity Brown - 10/27/09

This is the "welcome" dinner at the mission home after being picked up from the airport.

Meeting her new companion for the first time.

Charity & her companion with the mission president and his wife, President and Sister Pendleton. I think they are from West Jordan. (looks like she found her name tag...I bet she was reminded that she needed to have it on!) Okay...too funny. Upon close inspection of this picture...Charity has a name tag that says Sister Pendleton! Don't know where hers are, maybe in her suitcase!)

New companion.

She made it! Airport Arrival - 10/27/2009

Just got off the plane in California. Where is your name tag Sister Brown? The group photos are all the missionaries arriving in the Roseville, CA mission today.

What's with the stack of luggage in the background?

Sad, Sad Halloween

All the kids are sick today. It's usually only one kid that is sick on Halloween. My brother sent me this photo of Sam in his costume. He is a big teddy bear. It was a big hit with all the girls!

Piute Boys' Cross Country - 2009 State Champs!

This was the picture and caption in the Richfield Reaper. Sam is on the front row in the red shirt. He worked really hard during the season and consistantly improved his personal best time. Congratulations, Sam and the rest of the team!

Piute High School’s cross country team earned a state championship Oct. 21, in Salt Lake City. The team had 16 boys on it, with the top five providing scoring points and the top seven being allowed to run in the meet.

Conversation with Lindsey

I was looking through a catalog last night. It is from a company called the Vermont Country Store. It's kind of a cool store. It has things from years gone buy that are hard to find. I was commenting on items that I remember from when I was a kid and it might be fun to order some things.

Lindsey said, "Mom, just go to Walmart. They have EVERYTHING you need!" (No doubt that is what the Walmart commercial says.)

Then Kylie said, "They don't have everything...they don't have pianos."

Lindsey replied, "We don't need a piano, we already have one!"

Kylie, "They don't have houses."

Lindsey, "Uh huh...doll houses."

I love 5 year olds. I told Steve I was going to miss her...when she grows up!
