Midnight December 23, 2009

The head of security at the Fresno airport is in our ward,

and he graciously escorted Marvin and I through back doors so we

could greet Jordan at the gate as soon as he walked off the plane.

What a handsome returning missionary.

After we walked up the terminal to the rest of the family,

Jordan went over and gave Brandon a big hug saying,

"Devin, how you've grown!"

The second Jordan got in the house he went to the toilet and

gave it a hug!

We think Jordan is now part Peruvian.

Smartie Pants

Sierra just got her first report card for Jr High. She got the first of many, (hopefully) straight A's. She was really excited, which you can tell by her "happy eye". We are really proud of her.

What's up?

Also, it is okay for people other than me to leave comments. It's actually even nice so people know you are reading their posts!

The Mighty Hunter

We went to Bear Lake for the Deer Hunt again this year. Steven was given strict orders, by me, not to shoot anything smaller than a 3-point. He came home at lunch time and had not seen any buck. I thought I was safe. He went out again after lunch and promised not to be too late. Well, you can tell by the pictures, he came home late and he shot another 2-point. He got so excited about seeing any buck that he shot first and asked questions later. Oh well, I guess I get to try out my new venison recipes.

Jordan's Birthday Celebration

Well, my birthday was on Tuesday, but I suppose my zone couldn´t wait that long so they egged me on Monday, I totally wasn't expecting it Monday. Monday we went to San Bartolo, which is a rocky place by the beach that is very scenic. The waves are huge right there and there are geysers when the waves get big enough. Afterwards we went to eat in a restaurant as a zone, and I got plain old arroz chaufa (fried rice). They eat a lot of fried rice here, must be because they have a lot of rice. It is kind of wierd, but I am not sick of rice yet. I just eat what I get I guess. So then Tuesday I did a visit to Villa Alejandro with Elder Van Duyn and my old pensionista made a cake for me, and I got egged again. I was expecting that one. Then in the night we went to visit the Quintanilla family, who are members, and they made me another cake, and I got egged again. I was expecting that one too. Then Wednesday when I was back in Lomas my current pensionista made a cake for me. I got egged a again as well, but this time it was different. This was the first time that they poured flour on me too. So that is my birthday story. Lots of cake, lots of eggs. 14 eggs in all. The cakes were good, but I am sure my German chocolate cake back home was even better. Save me a slice, ok.

A Mckell-a-Date

Yeah, I'm dirty. I took this while I was writing this and taking a break from homework.

I haven't written on the blog for quite a while so I thought I would give an update on whats going on with me.

1. I have moved! After nearly 9 months, I finally was able to move to Downtown Salt Lake. I'm living with my best friend Cara and here two cats. Its a older apartment, but it has alot of charm. Wood floors, small closets and a kitchen that is so small that I can't even open the fridge without it hitting the stove (it doesn't open all the way). But so

far, its been great! I can ride my bike everywhere and I'm only two blocks from school!

My dirty small room. I love it though! I has two windows!

My little Kitchen with no dishwasher or garbage disposal. We've gotten good at washing dishes!

2. I am currently working on surviving my second to last semester of college. Everyone get ready to come to my commencement in May 2010!

3. I'm still working at the law office as a Legal Assistant. I need another job, but I've been too lazy/busy to apply. Oh well, the bright side is I'm becoming my boss's favorite.

4. Utah lost. I was sad. But BYU's lost soften the blow a little bit.

5. I have become a really good knitter! In fact, my girl friends and I even have knitting nights! One day I'll knit you all sweaters. As of right now, I can only knit you dish cloths. : )

Well thats all I can think of as of right now. I love you guys!

More Pictures from Jordan

A pet we found in our room one morning.

Me. I found the tree of life while hiking two weeks ago.

Me again. In space.
