Birthday Greetings from our Grandson :)

Early this morning I checked our email and to my surprise and delight, we had an email from Luke! (A little help from Mom and Dad, too) Here is what I saw.....


I made my way outside........

I found a great spot for my setup...
I made sure it was just right...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!


You make ME happy! :)

I hope you have a great day!
Love, Luke

I sent a few questions to Ryan this week, here are his replies.....

Have you eaten any unusual food, and did you like it?
OH HAVE I! I eat a lot of sheep meat and spinach and squash and sweet potatoes. however, I eat a ton of fruit and I love all kinds. You might be surprised to know that peaches and mandarines are some of my favorites. I hate tomatoes still but salads are alright. Beets lurch my stomach a bit in the salads but you know what i do...i pray that it will all go down right :)

(One time we went to a stake meeting here and they served us some sandwiches for lunch - with mayonnaise on them. Ryan hates mayonnaise, but didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so he said that he started praying that he wouldn't gag :) Also, I can't believe he would eat spinach, squash and sweet potatoes. Peaches and mandarines are his favorite? Miracles really do happen on a mission! :)

Do you cook food sometimes, and what do you make?
Rarely, and if i do, its usually some pasta with a simple sauce or some rice with chicken. i usually ¨just get myself a bowl of cereal¨

(I wonder where he heard "just get yourself a bowl of cereal? ;)

What is your apartment like? Is your mattress OK?
My apartment is all good. Its alot like camping but I like it. We clean alot because the mold gets everywhere. My mattress is my best friend.

Is your mission doing "Companionship Language Study" (native Spanish
speakers learning English)?
Yes we are doing that and Sister Da Silva spoke about that in our zone conference this week which was great.

Is Elder Cardona learning English?
He is now that he knows its a commandment out of Preach My Gospel :)

That's all for this week :)
Love ya,
Elder Bulloch es un capo :)

A Visit from St. Nicholas?

Chad came to visit for the weekend, and it was so good to see him! He also brought lots of great things from home, (Like chocolate, licorice, and perfume :) It was just like Christmas!

He and Russ went to the Priesthood meeting together, and then broke with tradition and took me with them to dinner at Blossom - our absolute favorite Chinese restaurant.

Thanks for coming Chad - we loved having you here!

P.S. Hey guess what - we have less than 9 months to go!!!!!
