We got two letters from Chance this week. One via e-mail and another via USPS.
Dad!
Yellowstone sounds wonderful!! Man, you are going to have to take me there when I get back! I saw the pictures that mom sent and it seems awesome! That knife that mom took a picture of looked pretty sweet!
(Insert explanation here for the next paragraph. A few months ago, a member visiting DC stopped Chance and his companion on the street to talk with them He took their picture and texted it to Liz. It meant a lot to Liz (in fact it made her cry!) and she wanted to pay it forward so she vowed that the next missionaries we ran into, she would do the same thing for their moms. Well on the way up to Yellowstone we stopped in Idaho Falls to see the temple and ran into 3 missionaries...)
Hahaha! Amanda told me how Mom approached the missionaries and I started laughing. I can only imagine some strange lady coming up to me and saying "I'm here to take your picture!" I would be like, "What the crap is this lady talking about?!" Haha I would have said to my companion, "RUN ELDER, RUN!"
The river rafting you did in Lava Hot Springs, ID sounds like fun! In fact the rapids sound super awesome! I wish we could do stuff like that. :( I would have liked to see Mom and Amanda screaming as they almost got flipped into the river. That would have been funny :)
When I read about Hercules (Chocolate Cocker Spaniel) getting attacked on your walk, I would have been really ticked off at those people that let their dogs run off leash. I would have screamed so loud at the dogs trying to scare them away from Herc that all of Orem could have heard me!!! How is Herc? Did he fight back like the little man he is!? Also, how long are you going to have Blu for? (A Husky we are dog-sitting for a while) You have had him for a while now, haven't you? I was just thinking it's probably a good thing that you didn't have Brandy (our Golden Lab that doesn't like other dogs and attacks anything that growls), because it would have been a bad dog fight.
We got to visit the Natural History Museum this week again. Pictures are attached. Also I am including a picture from 4th of July that I forgot to send.
Meeting with the President and Sister Cooke was great! I won't say too much because I'm talking about it in the letter I'm sending home, but they are wonderful people! I felt very loved by them. Well I have to go but I love you so much Dad!!! I hope your having fun on your trip!
Love
Elder Chanceman
