New Nephew, Peaches from Emily, Brian and Chloe Show Us Pictures from Summer Internship in Japan, they move on down to BYU for school, grand kids come over...

On Monday, Paul and Cindy's baby arrived!
Max was 9 lbs. 21.5 inches and he is the 52 grand child for my parents!

Emily brought us a box of the most delicious peaches from her tree.
We made peach pie and had peaches and vanilla Bean ice cream-yum!

Luke has been making (and yelling) YAKISOBA

Rick and Kelsee came over with May and Lincoln

May has been watching Totoro and Kiki so we got out our Totoro stuffed animals and she was delighted!

It was Brian and Chloe's first wedding anniversary. Chloe's parent's came over and brought their trailer.  We packed it up and moved them down to BYU for Fall Semester.  Brian and Chloe showed us some of their pictures from their summer internship with Franklin-Covey Japan...

Letter from Todd...

Our week was great! It started off pretty intense though.. Woke up to our phone going off and I ran over and checked a message that popped up on the screen that said, "North Korea has launched middles. Get underground" way happy I could read all of that Kanji! A member showed up at our door and we were all out the door with all of the Emergency stuff when we got a call to just make our way to Matsudo, so we went to Matsudo!  After that we did Zone Conference, and that's basically all we've heard about that since! 

Then did splits with Elder Banks, who is finishing up as a missionary this transfer! What a great Zone Leader. Then we got a new Air Conditioner, and I got to install it in our apartment! Whoo! Saturday we had a Birthday party for a member who LOVES the missionaries, and she took us out to a Restaurant! Sunday we had another Birthday party, and got to attend Portuguese meeting and had a blast!

The weather has been way weird. This year is WAY weird. Right before we were supposed to hit super hot Japanese summers, clouds rolled in and it's basically been storming ever since! Now the temperature is dropping and it's still stormy, so we're basically gonna skip the super humid Japanese summer! 

I AM SO EXCITED FOR PAUL AND CINDY!!

That story about May and Lincoln is way too cute for commenting..

Japanese hymn number 200!!

I love you all!
