Kristopher Comes to Visit

Kristopher, Michael's brother (a.k.a. Halley's "Twin") came to vistit us this past week. We picked him up from the airport on Saturday 9 August and we went straight from the airport to a ward member's house and finished helping them move in. We had spent the morning help one ward member move out, then went to help another ward member move in, and we still weren't done so Kris got to help :)

While he was here we hung out and watched movies and played pool. We had a lot of fun. We also went bowling one night because it was the last day that they were doing all you can bowl for $6. It would have been more enjoyable if there wasn't so many people smoking. It got to the point where we had to leave because we couldn't stand all the second hand smoke. But apparently, Derby just passed a law that people cannot smoke in public places so we won't have to deal with that shortly. :)

Kris and Halley went out with the missionaries one afternoon while Michael was at work. We just drove them around and Kris was full of stories and jokes and we had a super good time. The next day, one of the sister missionaries called me and asked me if Kris would be willing to give her a blessing so we went over and helpe her out in her time of need. The last night that Kristopher was here we went out with the missionaries again with Michael as well. We went and visited Don (who Michael and I have been to his house before). He is an awesome person, but he has a "woe is me" attitude. The missionaries asked Michael if he would bear his testimony of how faith has helped him in his life. Kristopher was asked to talk about the sacrament, and they asked me if I would share thoughts and feelings about my baptism. When we were leaving, Don gave us some if his jalepeno jelly that he has been canning. It was super good! He said that it has jalepenos, vinegar, and sugar it. So, really it was more sweet than hot in my opinion. Michael thinks it was hot. It was a neat experience. We really enjoy going out with the missionaires and helping them whenever we can.


Don said to eat the jalepeno jelly on crackers with cream cheese!

We took Kris to the airport Sunday and bid him farewell until we can come and see everyone in Utah for Christmas.
