A Veritable Smorgasbord

Recently Rachel, Nick, Baby Soren and I had the enjoyment of visiting the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Here are some of the highlights.

The Fair was not all "goat"-centric though. We also ate delicious food. Looked at tiny houses. Explored the rides and toys, and again ate delicious food. It was a delight that I look forward to each year.

The Case of the Missing Missionary

So, Rusty has been serving his mission in Houston Texas for a little over a month now. He left August 27th. He was in the MTC for a couple of weeks and went down to Texas on September 17th. The last letter we got from him was September 15th, the Monday before he went down to Houston. There are so many issues with this. Because I know he has arrived there safely. The mission president sent us a lovely letter telling us so. So why is he not writing? Is he too busy? Is he miserable and doesn't want to tell us about it. Is he so happily thriving in Texas that he has no time to for his wretched family back home. What is the deal Rusty! Write us a stinking letter. We must know how you are doing. WE MUST!
