Smartmouth, or the downfall of having older brothers and sisters...

The other day, I was cleaning the kitchen. I had just finished cleaning one of the counters, and I turned around and started on another. When I turned back around Joslynn and Aidan were standing on the counter I had just finished cleaning. I reprimanded them for standing on the counter I had just cleaned. Aidan gets off, and Joslynn starts pretending she is going to fall. I tell her to sit down right now before she really falls. She sits down and says, "Okay, now what Einstein?" (pronounced eye stein) I wasn't sure what to say, she is just grinning at me, all proud of herself. I tried to figure out which older brother or sister had taught her the new lovely phrase. No one will admit to it. I am not sure if she heard it on T.V. or what...Oh, what fun this is going to be!!!!

Newest from Elder Henderson...

Here is the rest of the story James told last time...
We went to her and Elder De Leon did an awesome contact. He helped her to see that we had an important message to share and she let us in. We shared with her the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She liked the message a lot and told us that she wanted us to visit again, so we planned another visit. Elder De Leon told me after the message that when I was looking at the map and we had no idea where to go, he heard a voice that said, "Elder". He looked at me , but realized that I hadn't said anything to him. He then heard the voice again, but this time it said, "Elder look back". He then looked back and there was the lady tending her garden. I realized when he told me that it was exactly after my prayer that he heard the voice. I have no doubt in my mind that it was an answer to my prayer,and I am so glad that he was ready to listen to the still small voice.

Elder Henderson, Elder Roberts and I am not sure who the people in the background are...

A bunch of missionaries, can you spot James????

Elder Schrafer and Elder Henderson, this is his newest companion, he is from Argentina.

Members of the ward and Alexis' family (James didn't tell me anything about the pictures, so I am trying to guess according to his letters.

Elder Roberts, Alexis(I think), and Elder Henderson

I think this is the young man they had been waiting to baptize, his name is Alexis, I think...

Eggs anyone????

RaNae's roommate: "Hey, RaNae, check if the eggs are good"

RaNae: "Wait, how do you do that?"

RaNae's roommate: "You see if they float in water or not."

RaNae: "Oh, okay."

CRACK

Her roommate walks over to check on it...

RaNae: "Well, I guess they are old...they aren't floating."

RaNae's roommate: "You weren't supposed to crack them..."

RaNae's roommate posted this on Facebook. I thought it was hilarious. I didn't know the trick to see if the eggs are too old or not, but leave it to my sweet, naive daughter to crack the eggs first.

RaNae, I love you so much.

And P.S. RaNae, we have all done something of this sort, it is fun to laugh at it though...
