Heading to Az 07-08-09

Hi William,

We are loading up the car, and will be heading to Az. within a couple of hours, but I didn't want to risk missing telling you what has been going on with us.

I have loved the couple of times that we have been able to chat online, but I guess that is just a hit and miss situation. So I better get back into the habit of writing to you.

We we went out to Russ' for the 4th of July and had Brat's and lit off some fireworks. What did you do for the 4th?

We are excited to visit everyone in Arizona, and also excited to go and see "Wicked". Mary Ann and Anneke went shopping and found Anneke a beautiful dress to wear for the evening. It looks very nice on her and is very slimming also. My little girl is growing up! (tear...)

So at Zone Conference last week did you hear about Nicole. We have been praying for her and hope that she did follow thru with her baptism date. And what was the name of the new family that you are teaching?

Well, I am not sure if we will get a chance to Chat today, but at least I got a chance to catch you up on what is going on with us.

I love you and pray for you always.
Dad, Mary Ann, and Benson
