The adventure has begun!

Hi this is Cameron. The adventure begins in my story. It's been a lot of fun here. Abby just came back from Florida. Madi and Ali Cole went to Ohio for a missionary conference and they will be back on Friday. We miss them so much and it will be really fun when they come back. We have been helping my dad clear the woods for a dam. My dad's real name is Marshall. We ate Bologna the other day at the Meyer's, they made lasagnia out of him. He tasted really good. Yesterday we were getting wood and found a lizard that was black with yellow stripes down it's back and it had a bright blue tail. It was really pretty. It also dropped it's tail because it got scared. That is what different kinds of lizards, salamandars and gekos do.
Bye!

Bye for now! Devin

Greetings from The Master's Mission

Hi everyone! We are all settled in and classes started this week. We are starting to get used to our schedule. Things are going really well and we are having a lot of fun. At first it was hard to break the habit of reaching for a light switch every time we walked into the bathroom and you never quite realize how much you use a microwave and a toaster, until they are not available. The other thing that was a bit hard to get used to is just how dark it is up here at night. But we are adjusting well. Right now Marshall is learning about constructing dams. They picked out a site and started cutting away a trail today. When I say trail, it needs to be big enough for them to bring in a dozer and it is down a ravine. I learned how to use a ringer washer today. Which is nice because I have been washing our clothes in the bathtub. So I'm actually looking foward to using it. I will write more when I have more time. There is so much more to tell but it's getting late and Devin's waiting for her turn to write.

Cameron's mission talk

We are going to The Master's Mission in 3 days and I am so excited to go. I have a friend. Her name is Abby. I can't wait to see her. We are going to bring our chicken's to the mountain. My brother Kaiden used to call them "bauk, bauks". I want to climb the trees at The Master's Mission. When we went to the barn, we went passed the fence and up the hill and saw the bull named Bologna. And then we ran backwards down the hill, so Bologna wouldn't charge us. It was fun. I fell running backwards down the hill, but I didn't get hurt. It was still fun though. We are going to be living in a cabin without electricity. When it snows, I want to take a sled and ride it down the mountain. That will be fun too. I have a lot of family that live near where we will be.
My grandma and grandpa from up here will be going down with us when we go, to help us get moved in. There will be others that will go too. And some of our friends are coming down to visit us in Nov.

Hi from Devin

We are going to The Master's Mission in 3 days. It will be a mission's training. We might go to Ecuador after that. We already have friends at The Master's Mission. I am excited to see them again. One of my friends name is Abby Teasdale and we have been writing to each other since our church's missionary conference last Oct. We got to see her in Nov. when we went down to see the school. It was a lot of fun. We climbed up the side of a cliff and we played with a cow named Bologna.

Our new journey begins.

In a few days we will be leaving for The Master's Mission. A lot of emotions are stirring. Excitement for what's to come and sadness for what we are leaving behind. We will miss our family and friends. We will miss what has been so familiar to us for so long. It really hasn't sunk in yet, which is probably a good thing. Marshall said that reality will probably hit as we are saying goodbye to those who will be traveling with us to TMM. When they drive away and leave us up on the mountain, then it may become real. Those who are planning on taking the trip with us to help us get settled in are, Joseph and Janice (Marshall's parents), Keith and Pat Hagenbuch, Gordon, Archie and Alechia Post and Shannon and Candy Scarem and their boys, Billy, Alex and Andrew. Hopefully we will have an uneventful, safe trip. We will let you know when we get settled in! : )
