MY ARMY!

These guys are my missionaries! : ) From left to right - Elder Rendon, Keegan Campbell (a former track athlete of mine), Elder Olson, Elder Ledford and Elder Cook. All of these guys came to one of my soccer games plus two more...it was AWESOME! : ) My own cheering squad! We have great games of basketball with them, good dinners and good discussions!Elders Rendon and Olson are trying to get me to read the Book of Mormon before Elder Rendon returns home on Dec 23rd.

Elder Ledford is being transferred and came by to say hello and goodbye : ( Elder Rendon and Elder Olson have been a great help to me...and love my family and we love them! They remind me of my son! They consider me their "WA MA" and they are my surrogate sons! I love them! We get a regular flow of missionaries now...hahaa...and we play soccer with them (me, Stockton, Levi and Micah), along with many other people - each Tuesday, which is the day they get to "play" and shop and do wash, etc. Anyway, I am in deep gratitude to all of these great young men!

The pic on the left is a game we played with them...kind of a prank : ) It was great fun! L to R is Elder Rendon, Elder Lavin (la VIN) and Elder Olson. I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to pass out!

This pic is when they came to see my "hi-tech" classroom at school. (they have to be in regular clothes - you know, separation of church and state! :)) Anyway...Elder Olson, me, Elder Rendon and Elder Gabor (like Eva Gabor) It was a big game day...Camas vs. Union...it was also Halloween day and it was a "BLACKOUT DAY". Thus, the black in my hair, under my eyes, etc. No, I don't usually dress this way when I teach! Ha!
