Missionary News.....

• Hey guys, things are going pretty good for me. I just watched all my good friends leave this last thursday. I have had a pretty hard time with it but its all good I just can't wait to come home and get it all over with. And President Ho Ching is getting ready to leave and that is also very sad, but there is nothing you can do about it.
• Our baptism did go through this last week, so that is pretty cool.
• We went bowling today for p-day and that was pretty cool, it was nice to get out and do something normal for once.
• I'm glad there is only 40 days left. having this last batch leave was hard. I have been with them my entire mission from the MTC till now. I was their companion and have been in the same zone with all of them so is was hard. But now I just look forward to the new Mission President and continue doing what I need to do.
• I love you guys lots, and I will see you all soon. LOve Elder Loveless
• I think our Missionary is ready to come home. It is hard to have the ones you have grown up with leave you behind. But he will be home soon. Aug 5, 6:oo twin falls airport. We can't wait to see this young man......! God Bless him..

Health or no Health.....

Well the road has been long on getting better. I did find out I have pneumonia, and Steve isn't too far behind. But with new meds these days, hospitalization isn't as common. It has been hard but I feel I am making progress. Wow, what a way to start my summer vacation... sick, and I have so much I want to do....I have been puttin around the house slowly, doing a few things but I get anxious to do it all. It is coming though..... We must never forget the blessings of good health while we have it. Ya never know when it will be taken away....

Our missionary son Brett, is nearing the end. Only 71/2 weeks to go. He is really excited, but at the same time very sad to leave the Philippines, that he has grown to dearly love. The Lord has blessed him to be the Assistant to the Pres. at this time,. which is keeping him VERY busy, and that is good in so many ways for him. My heart will greatly rejoice when he returns home, and Alison and Ashton and Dexter will also be home from Iowa at that time, with Curtis and Crystal and family here, my cup overfloweth with joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feelings.......

Well, I am feeling happy, sad, miserable, sick, greatful, all of these and more at this time. Steve and I are BOTH really sick, and just cough our lungs out, and look at each other and moan. But I just have to laugh at the same time, because that is just how life is sometimes. But I am sure we will get well soon...We have to....there is much to do to get ready for Brett(Elder Loveless) to come home. I don't really know why we think we have to do SO MUCH...I think that is just what MOM's think when their son is coming home. Like paint something fresh, lay new floor, buy new towels, buy a new dress, ya know, things like that. Isn't that silly, yep, that is how I am feeling. But first I need to get well, Afterall I am done with work now, so I have the time to get ready. And I need it to get warmer, so it feels like summer, then I know Brett is really coming home. I feel better now, thanks for listening, even if your not, I still feel better.
