Hey family!

Sounds like everyone is having a fun summer!  Dad does yard work and rides his bike and the girls go on camps.  Sounds like the yard is really coming along but yeah it can be a surprise when I come home that will be better than seeing a picture of it.  I bet that was fun to go and see grandpa on the bike.  Is he having some more health problems or are they the same ones?  Hopefully he can hang in there.  Having 108 degrees on the bike in Sunday clothes is not fun at all.  Usually the faster you go the cooler the air is that hits your body but at that hot it’s just like a blow dryer is aimed right at you (ha ha).  So now when we are on bike we stick pretty close to home.  But my companion goes home on the 18th so he only has like 2 weeks left he is getting excited.  But that’s cool that someone up in Round Rock knew who I was.  I wonder if they were from the Kyle ward or from here in Austin.  It sounds like the Monkeys had quite the girl’s camp it sounds like they did some fun things.  And the whole bear story is pretty funny I’m sure they were all super scared.  And even scared enough to throw up (ha ha).  I bet the monkey was going ooo ooo and ahhh ahhh  (ha ha).  That’s really cool that you got to go to the Tuachan I’ve heard that’s a really cool place I will have to check it out when I get back.  That’s really awesome that you had a great testimony meeting.  I remember that the testimony meetings at camps and on the trek and EFY are always the best ones.  But that’s cool that Monkey gets to be on the stake youth committee.  That was a really fun thing to do I really liked it you get to plan all the stake activities.  Just keep working on the stick shift it will get easier.  I’m sure when I get home I will have to get used to my car again.     Well everyone have another great week!  Love you all so much! :)

Love, Devan
