This picture is priceless.  :)  Cute Chelsea Boyson's baptism.

Family!

Well, it's been a good week up in the North! It was kind of a hectic week, but it concluded with Chelsea Boyson's baptism, which was just a blessed and beautiful thing. From the beginning, Chelsea has been very prepared for baptism, and has just always had a strong desire to be baptized. Her service was right after church, and she was very excited the entire day.

But... over the course of the week, it felt like there was opposition from every possible source of opposition to prevent her from being baptized! The original plan was to have Chelsea baptized on the 27th, and then confirmed the next day on the 28th. But, our branch president just was... not too keen on having two baptismal services on two Saturdays in a row. In fact, he was very strangely opposed to it. With convert baptisms, you need to be confirmed in Sacrament meeting, So, we had to reschedule it so that she was going to be baptized on the 28th, and then confirmed the next Sunday. But, they found out they were going to be out of town the next Sunday, and it's just not ideal to have somebody baptized and not receive the Holy Ghost for 2-3 weeks. So, we were in kind of a pickle, until President Tilleman authorized confirming her at her baptismal service. So, we did that. And then in the middle of the night we get some angsty text messages from an unknown number (...which is just no doubt Sister Boyson) telling us that we are not to come to her house again and "requesting" that we stop teaching her children the doctrines of Satan. Pleasant text to wake up to. In years previous, Sis. Boyson had snuck Chelsea out underneath Bro. Boyson's nose and had her baptized in the church that she goes to, and so Bro. Boyson is very insistent on letting Chelsea be baptized into another church if that's what she chooses. So, even though she started making a fuss, fortunately it was ignored. After they had the argument, we were talking with Bro. Boyson, and the conversation kind of went like this:

Bro. Boyson: "She said our church is evil because the Bible teaches there can't be another book. Is that what the Bible says?"

Us: "No, Brother Boyson. The Bible does not say that. Would you like us to show you what she was probably talking about?"

Bro. Boyson: "No, I was just making sure."

And then we were good. But you know, at the end of the week, because the Lord's hand was very firmly guiding the situation, Chelsea was able to be baptized!

Other than that, we did have a few miracles this week! First, the Prince Rupert family that I mentioned previously that had the missionaries knock on her door as she was praying got baptized! Secondly, this week I was on exchanges in Terrace, when we had the chance to help a guy take out his garbage. As we were doing so, he asked us if we knew Romans 10:9-10. I did, because, well, it's a funny one to quote imitating a Baptist preacher. In short, he first seemed like he was going to want to bash with us, but his heart slowly softened, and by the end, he was very open to what we believed. He said he originally thought we were in a cult, but now he thinks that maybe running into us was why "the Holy Spirit has been telling me to find a church to go to". Anyways, the next morning, he calls, and begins talking about how he "is a pundit" for the gathering of Israel, and how he found what Nephi prophesied about the gathering of Israel very interesting ("Isaiah hints at this sort of stuff, but this Nephi character is very adamant"). He starts saying a whole bunch of scholarly sounding things that we weren't even following. We weren't even sure if he thought it was good or bad or not. But, at the end, he was like, "when was this book written?" And we told him it was translated in the 1830s. He was floored. He told us that he couldn't believe how many years ahead of its time the Book of Mormon was, and how there was only one other religious group that he knew of that also correctly predicted whatever aspects of the gathering of Israel that Nephi was talking about. And now, he wants to be baptized! We were just relieved that he liked whatever it was that he was talking about. Pretty awesome stuff.

Well, the church is true and the book is blue! I'm just getting booted off of my computer at the library, but have a great week, everyone!

Elder Blotter

It's been a good week in Kitimat.

Elder Blotter, Daniel Boyson and Elder Atwood

Well hello, everyone!

It's been a great week in Kitimat! Northern BC is the place to be in Kitimat. The highlight of the week this week was the baptism and confirmation of Daniel Boyson. It has been a very long road for the Boyson family, but to be able to see Daniel receive saving ordinances this weekend (and Chelsea is preparing to be baptized next week) was an absolute miracle, and a testimony that God answers prayers. Chelsea is being baptized next week because the Boyson family had a... funny way of getting around to communicate with each other. Daniel did not want to tell Chelsea that he had made the decision to be baptized because he didn't want to pressure her to be baptized. and when Chelsea found out that he WAS being baptized, she was quite peeved because she has always wanted to be baptized, and was just waiting for him to come around. And neither of them told their Mom when they were getting baptized, "because they thought that she would have to work or something". And so she shows up after the ordinance, because nobody told her when it was at. When she DID come, she just hugged Daniel and told him she was proud of him. In the end, it was a beautiful service, though. On the day of his confirmation, we took Daniel with us to visit a few people. We've been talking about serving a mission, and we're pretty confident that he is going to serve one, which is exciting! (I managed to find both camera and charger. I attached a picture of us with Daniel and with Brother Boyson, Daniel's dad. Yes, Daniel did wear a Mountain Dew T-shirt and dress pants to his baptism. Yes, we did suggest that for pictures sake he get a shirt and tie. No, we were not able to successfully convince him to do so.)

Otherwise, it was a good week in Kitimat! We found a very cool hybrid Catholic/Presbyterian family this week that we've started teaching. Matthew and Nicola. They grew up near a Mormon family, and just from their positive example years ago, they have a very positive perception of the church. The kind of lifestyles that we live really do make a difference in the long run. We knocked on the door as they were watching family videos, and they had just decided to make a new one. So, in any case, they will forever have documentation of a good part of the message of the Restoration in their family videos. When we first came to Kitimat, we had a "discussion" of sorts with some JW's. The husband and wife were not very open, but they had a nephew visiting from Portugal who was very cool. Unfortunately, he was planning on getting married back in Portugal and left after we met him. A week or so ago, we tracted into this lady who tried to let us right in, saying she moved straight from Portugal, and, because we can't teach females by themselves, we set up a time we could come back with somebody else. When we came back, lo and behold, it was Alex, the nephew from Portugal! And they are both open, so now we can teach them and do so in a more hospitable environment. That's a miracle!

This week we also had the chance to go to Prince Rupert for an exchange. Prince Rupert is directly on the coast, and it feels pretty much like California meets First Nations Reserve. The exchange was one of those times you feel like you are having too much fun to be on a mission, because the drive there is probably the most beautiful drive on the planet and me and Elder Busby, the missionary I was serving with in Rupert, were on bikes, and so we just biked around and talked to people in the sunshine all day. We had the chance to teach a very cool couple, Mary Jane and Clyde, who had just moved off the reserve into town. Mary Jane had some people come to the door offering her Bibles, and since she had just moved, she was looking for a church. She was in the process of praying and asking God which of all the Bibles was His book, and boom. The missionaries knock on her door. She took that as an answer, and now they are both meeting with the missionaries in Prince Rupert.

Well, in any case, it sounds like life at home is going great! That's good to hear. Enjoy the summer. I can just tell that Jed is going to be a good football player. I would not want to be a lineman across from him! Keep Kitimat in your prayers! I'll talk to you all next week.

Re: It's the dog days of summer, baby!

MOOOOOOOOOOOooooooommmmmmmm...

If you read this in the next bit, can you confirm that Amelia's birthday is on the 28th of July for me? I'm pretty sure that it is. But... it's been a long time. :)

Elder Blotter

It's the dog days of summer, baby!

Our next two Blotter missionaries...(South Korea and Peru, here they come)

At the Blotter Family Reunion, Bear Lake.

Whew! We are having a heat wave around these parts, for sure. It was 99 today! They are also having restrictions with the canal so everything seems like it's a little brown. But before we know it, it'll be freezing and we'll be complaining about that. :)  Life is good and we survived Kids Camp this week. Barely. We had Hannah with us this past week and she is a joy. I went with her and Sara and Grandma to a session at the temple while she was here. She is very excited to be going on her mission. 26 days and counting.

    I sent a facebook message to who I assumed was Jeff Chipman's sister. She sent me his e-mail back. Here it is...jeffrey.chipman@myldsmail.net. Let me know if you want me to get it to Elder Day. Technology.  :)   By the way, have you noticed any difference with the use of technology yet? At Ward Council before I was released the missionaries were there and said they expected to be getting ipads in the mail soon. That may just be here in Utah. It's exciting to see how change is inspired.

    I read Andy's first e-mail from the MTC. It made me smile. He told so many details! Every type of soda in the cafeteria, juice, chocolate milk, his schedule down to the minute. And I laughed that he was saying how hard of a time with Swedish he was having.....it was his 2nd day there.  Ha ha. He will be great.  Oh, I got a new calling today! I'm not suppose to say anything yet. I'm suppose to wait for my BACKGROUND CHECK.  I'm going to be a Wolf leader in cub scouts. I'll be there for when Jed starts scouts in December! I can't remember ever having a calling that I didn't have to do anything on Sunday. At first I was thinking it was a bit of a downer but now I'm thinking it will be GREAT.

    I can't remember if we told you last week that Jed is signed up for football! I was sure he was too young but a friend called and hoped Jed would do it with him. He has been asking and asking to do it. It's the first thing I've ever noticed him excited about. I tried to talk him out of it. I told him how you would come home with bruises all down your arm and it is hard and HOT and the more I told him, the more excited he became. And he is really looking more and more like you everyday. When Grayson was here he saw a picture that he thought was Jed but was you.

    Jenessa is leaving for a quite a trip to Ohio with the Dubanowich's. They are taking her to Niagra Falls, COSI, the zoo, our old house and other fun things. She will have a great time. She is getting all signed up for USU and ready to go. I think she will take that school by storm. She has been attending the local YSA ward and isn't loving it, but is giving it time.

     Jacey has a soccer tournament next weekend in Park City. So we'll be heading down that way. OH, I TOTALLY FORGOT TO ASK! Did you have a baptism yesterday? I thought of you and wondered if it happened! Need lot's of details of that. And yesterday was the Blotter Family Reunion at Bear Lake. It was fun but we all thought how cool it will be to have you there next year.  :)   And Dad is training for Lotoja. He's looking pretty lean with all the riding he's done.

    Well, that's all for now. Love you so much and I have sure been praying for the people of Kitimat.    Love, Mom

Re: Thick of Summer...

Oh man. I will just be so glad to know that what I write will be reposted as "Canadian Bacon". :) And yeah! Ty Duersch is the Northern Canada equivalent of being next door neighbors. He's serving over in Terrace, which is just 30-40 minutes away. But he really did spend his first year as an office elder in Surrey. Which was probably just oodles of fun. But yeah! Good old Elder Duersch.

Elder Blotter

Kitimat

Well hello,

It's been another really great week up in Northern BC! It's kind of weird, but in another transfer or two I will have spent a year up in the Terrace Zone. I just count myself lucky to be considered a "North missionary". It's awesome up here. Elder Atwood and I survived transfers and will be going on round 3. President Tilleman told us that he knew we had some "unfinished business" with some of our investigators here and so he left us together. Which, we did certainly!

Well, the work in Kitimat is moving forward. Daniel Boyson finally talked to his mom about how he wants to be baptized, and she's going to be supportive if it's what he wants. So... although it's been delayed for a while, we've set a baptismal date for this Saturday. We've been meeting with them almost daily for a long time to help them get to this point. But... it's worth it to be able to see them accept saving ordinances! There have definitely been miracles helping out the Boyson family. It's definitely been good; because we're over there quite frequently, Brother Boyson trusts us enough to open up about his concerns about his family in the church. He's been less active for a while because of some issues with family back in Alberta, and he's been starting to change as well and forgive and move on. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real, and it really does help people heal. It's a blessing to be able to see it.

God certainly does have a hand in missionary work, though. One recent convert from another small BC town (Merrit) recently moved to Kitimat, and it turns out that she is related to Samantha and knows her. Having friends or family that can help support somebody to make the sometimes difficult changes that are required to join the church is crucial, and so it's very cool to see the Lord provide that kind of support. Another one of our investigators, Sean (who is Irish) has a member friend from Scotland that is going to be in Kitimat for a month, and so we can meet with them together as well. Small world.

Other than that, the week has pretty much consisted of just pounding the pavement to find new investigators, rain or shine. (You get a lot of both, in Kitimat) The people in Kitimat talk up how well designed the city is (we still think it's ridiculously goofy compared to a grid system, but... hey. Canadians) because it was a "planned city" created by Clarence Stein, who also apparently designed 7 other twin cities in the United States. The layout might be nice for Joe Shmo, but the way it's designed makes it so it's harder to find people to teach. There isn't a busy street to try street contacting, because all of the stores are clumped together in a mall-type thing, and there aren't any parks or open places to talk to people at, because Kitimat has a ton of parks just kind of scattered around in green areas behind the houses and so because there are so many, it feels like there aren't any people at any of them. So, to keep finding people, you kind of have to keep thinking creatively. One weekday morning we knocked on half of an entire street without a single person coming to the door. We thought to ourselves "Man... We could be painting our toenails as far as how effective our time is being spent right now." And so we ended up mowing the lawns of a Sikh lady, a grandma, and one of our former investigators. Planting seeds!

But at the end of the day, it's a small town, but we're still finding new faces to teach. The other day, we talked to a young woman, Heather, who wasn't raised religious, but wants to experiment with faith, and was curious about what we believed. Today, we'll probably find somebody else! God keeps on preparing people, and we keep bumping into them somehow. The church is true!

Well, I hope everybody has a great week! I keep you all in my prayers and I hope that you keep Kitimat in your prayers as well. Looks like you're having a good summer and I hope it stays that way!

Love,

Elder Blotter

July

Jacey at the Cache Valley Cup

Dad and Quintin on their annual 4th of July ride.

 

Elder Blotter, seasoned Elder of the Vancouver BC Mission

Well, I hope that you are surviving the dog days of summer up in the great white north.  It sounds like things are happening.  I suspect that Kitimat is a tough area for some reason.  Each mission has those tough areas and at times it takes a lot of faith to shake them up a little bit.  Fortunately, there are some good member families and those families are very helpful and awesome.  Truth is, when we lived in Ohio we were one of those missionary families.  We had missionaries at our house all the time for dinner, haircuts, rides, and whatever.  Elder Lusk could eat a whole casserole.  I went on splits to Spanish speakers, and we invited our friends like the Dubonovich's and the Rough's to hear the discussions and we taught them in our home.  We had a lot of good memories.  Probably need to be a little more proactive here in Cache Valley.

Well, the heat is on in Cache Valley.  Having one of those global warming type summers unfortunately.  Jacey had a soccer tournament last week and that took up a lot of our time and it was pretty fun.  It was the Cache Cup and they were playing in the Gold Division, which brings some pretty stiff competition from the Wasatch Front. They made it to the championship game and lost.  The game was such a barnburner that Grandma Blotter had to leave because she was too stressed :)  I thrive on stress so it was fun for me.  Anyway, it is a fun little soccer team and they are very very good.  No one in Cache Valley can even compete with them.  I talked a coach of a good team of girls a year older into a scrimmage, and we creamed them.  I felt bad.  Anyway that is Jacey's soccer. 

Other than that I am training for Lotoja as much as I can.  But not enough.  I'm getting this feeling that it is going to be a long day September 7th and I am going to be sick.  O well.  In a moment of weakness, your mother signed Jed up for..............little league football.  I was not too keen on the idea.  Jed has a little friend in Hyde Park that wanted him to sign up so Jed started begging.  This is how things go with the little ones and your mother:  Mom I want to play football with Will, Can I Can I?  No Jed, not this year, maybe later.  Mom, Can I play football with Will?  No Jed.  But Mom, I really want to play football.  Okay Jed, you can play.  So football is here.  I guess it is his destiny. 

Not too much else exciting.  The HP 6th ward is changing every day.  It is different than when you left for sure.  The upper subdivision is really taking off and I only know the names of about half of the ward.  We are suddenly old timers.

Bishop Holt is still at the helm, and Eric Holt is off to Spain.   Tanner Hunt will be home soon.  I look forward to seeing how he is doing.  Tyson Strong is getting married in August.  Kaden Strong his little brother is doing quite well, and I'm pretty sure that I am going to get Zach Balls on a mission.  So that is the news of the HP 6th.

Well, I hope that it is a great and productive week

Love Dad

It's July in Kitimat

Well, hello, Family!

It has been a good week in Kitimat. It's been hot, though! High 20's might not sound hot to Utahns. But it is! Other than that, life's been good! Since Kitimat is close to the ocean, a lot of people give us fish and prawns and stuff like that, and so I'm learning how to prepare and cook seafood. Haven't died yet... Transfer calls are today, but we have a hunch that neither of us are leaving, because President Tilleman called us this morning to talk about getting an interview for Samantha and didn't mention anything about a potential transfer... so we think we're safe. But only time will tell.

We've seen a lot of miracles this week, however! We've been working with the Boyson family for a few months now, and they've certainly come a long way. They'd never been to church, and now they're weekly attendees, Sister Boyson got annoyed at us the first time for not calling ahead when we came by for the weekly lesson the last missionaries would have on Friday, and slowly they've adjusted so that we teach them several times a week and usually have daily contact. But, they've been dragging their feet about baptism, and it seemed like they might become one of those part member families with like 6 sheets of teaching records in the area book. But lo and behold, this week, Daniel Boyson asked to meet with President Kaberry and ourselves after church, where he confided that he had received an answer to his prayers. He said that he had done what we had been telling him to do every day for weeks and he prayed and asked if he should be baptized. He said that that night he saw a dream where he was baptized, and he saw sins that he had committed in the past being washed away, and a tree that he said is kind of like the tree of life in Lehi's vision. He says he's seen that tree in dreams in the past when his mom has wanted him to be baptized into other churches, but in the dream the tree always dies by the end of the dream. In any case, it was a very cool experience, and since Chelsea (11 yrs old) has been more or less just waiting for Daniel (17), they will be baptized in the next two weeks. Miracles happen. It's definitely an example that if an investigator is attending church, reading the Book of Mormon, and praying, they will eventually get an answer that it is true, even if it takes a while.

We had another lessons with Jim Johnson this week. I'm not sure if I mentioned him before, but he's an older gentleman that has kind of been everything from atheist in a biker gang to Satanist (he's described some... pretty weird things that they do. Probably 'nuff said in this situation) to Jehovah's Witness to Pentecostal. He's a scriptorian. It's been about a month since we stopped meeting with him. He received a lot of unfavorable material from his pastor, and we resolved most of it, but he has a few things that he decided to hold on to. But, he was talking about how he loves the way that as missionaries we teach people, compared to how other faiths proselyte. He had a hard time describing it, but he meant that we "have the Spirit".  In short, he's still reading the Book of Mormon and is about halfway through it, and we just have a feeling that he's going to realize it's true as he reads it. You really come to appreciate the Book of Mormon on your mission. Not only does it really contain a witness of Christ and a solid foundation of true doctrine, but it really helps people receive revelation and ultimately come unto Christ. It really is a blessing. God is good.

The work in Kitimat is doing well, though. It's a small town, and we've already knocked every street a few times, but we're still finding people to talk to. It's good to be in small areas, because when half of Vancouver is your area, you can almost get lazy in finding because if somebody says they're not interested, it's kind of silly to force a conversation with them when an ocean of other people are walking past, but in Kitimat, you have to seize every finding opportunity as a chance to teach and testify and invite the Spirit. It's easier to erase the imaginary line between "finding" and "teaching" and you are just always teaching people on their doorsteps and inviting them to hear more. The worst thing is when you know somebody is feeling the Spirit, but they still choose to reject the message you're sharing. Gah! People's agency, sometimes. Still, enough people are interested to have a lot of interesting conversations in Kitimat. There are Jamaicans, Irish, Canadians, probably an American or two, and some First Nations people in the teaching pool. You can tell from the area book that this area has kind of been a "refiner's fire" area, but to me an Elder Atwood, it really hasn't been too rough here. It's bigger than Burns Lake! We have certainly been blessed.

In short, if I am transferred, I'd be sad! The North is the place to be. The members in the branches up here are just awesome. We'll just drop by a member family just to ask a quick question, and they'll end up feeding us dinner. (We'll have to start coming up with more valid sounding questions...) But, the church is true. Miracles are happening in Kitimat! And I hope that you all have a good week, and enjoy your summer. Talk to you next week!

Elder Blotter

Kitimat is Bear Country...

Re: Thick of Summer...

Yes! I will just copy and paste your e-mails to the blog.  We love Amelia's and Eric Holts. Amelia's is called the Brazilian Nut. Micail's is the Tahiti Sweetie. Jacey came up with the name for yours. The Canadian Bacon.  Ha ha! So find that camera and that charger and take some pics! It will make the blog funner to look at. You have such a fun way of writing and a sense of humor that makes reading your e-mails so fun.

    So today I called a guy to check out our air conditioner, which doesn't seem to be working on the main level of our house. After he fixed it and was ready to leave he happen to mention he had a son on a mission in Vancouver, Canada. :o   I said, "SO DO I". His son is Ty Duersch. I told him that you and Ty were MTC companions! Its a small world. He said Ty spent his first YEAR in Surrey. He is now up North, he said. But couldn't remember where.   :)

Re: Thick of Summer...

How do they blog? Do they just email stuff and somebody else throws it on the blog for them? I would send more pictures, but... I don't know where my camera is, currently. I don't think that it's permanently lost. I could find it. But I do think that I've lost the charger, and the battery is dead. I will look better for that too, though! And... I will try to send pictures next week! Heh. Well! The book sounds like a good idea! That would be a ton of work though! If you do that, thank you!

Love you, Mother Dearest,

Elder Blotter

Over halfway through, I'm starting a BLOG..... July 2nd, 2013

  I have many friends who have started a blog when their son or daughter have left on missions. People can check in when they have time to read and when the missionary comes home, you can easily make their letters into a book! Sounds great, huh?  So as I have time I will enter earlier letters. Now that Josh has been gone 1 year, 3 weeks and a day... I can say that it is WONDERFUL. It is a highlight for us to get his weekly e-mails and hear all about his mission. He is an amazing Elder and is working so hard and bringing others unto Christ. We love him.   :)

Family,

Well, sorry we couldn't email yesterday! Since it was Canada Day, all the libraries and things like that were closed. Since I was just finishing my time at the MTC during last year's Canada Day, this was the one and only "real" Canada Day that I'll have on my mission. Pretty much, Canada Day is like the 4th of July, except without the color blue and with the fireworks display too late for kids to stay up because the average Canadian bedtime for kids up here is seriously like 7:30 pm (you have it good, Jed and Jacey) and it doesn't start getting dark nowadays until after 11:00. But it was a fun day! They had a little parade and everything.

But, life is good in Kitimat! We're working with a lot of awesome people. Kitimat is a very diverse town because of the wide range of skill sets needed for the different companies that work here, and so they'll bring people who have those skills in from all over the world. Our branch president is an Australian, for example, and kind of a character. The other day we were let inside a home of "Wolf and Rani". Wolf is a German with a heavy accent, and Rani is an East Indian with a heavy accent. They both wear the clothes from their native countries, and seem to be worlds different, but they've been married for like 40 years or something like that. There are lots of Europeans and Asians. We've befriend the Asian guy, "Bill" who owns the Subway here, and he usually gives me a free cookie.  Kitimat is a great place. It's weird that we've been here for almost 3 months.

We've seen a lot of miracles in the past week as well. We're always looking for new people to teach, and we're promised that angels are preparing people and "declaring it to many". The other day, we were leaving a corner store, and the girl behind the register called to us and said that she had recently been in an accident and rolled and destroyed the van she was in, but she walked away perfectly fine. We had talked to her mom recently, and given her a pamphlet and apparently talked about how Jesus Christ can save us. Her mom is now convinced that the reason that she was okay was because of Jesus Christ and because of that pamphlet in the car. You know, we can't really see all the ways that Heavenly Father is preparing people to be taught, but He certainly is, and this is certainly His work.

We're still working closely with a lot of awesome people. The Boysons are still coming along, and Samantha is doing great. You know, we even take for granted that we know what's right and what's wrong. Samantha is 23 and has never really had a very strong religious background, and so she is just full of questions about what's okay and what isn't okay, because she wants to know what God wants her to do. We really are blessed to be in a position to know what commandments God wants us to follow, and to know how we can return and live with Him in our families. We really are a blessed people. We usually just take that for granted! We're so blessed to have a prophet to help us know what we need to do to be happy. The church is true!

And mother, Elder Atwood is awesome. You're right, I usually don't say too much about my companions. He is a world different from Elder Holtby! He is a hard worker and becoming a great missionary. We joke around a lot and have a great time in Kitimat. We had quite different interests/jobs back home (he made airbags in Brigham City and did mixed martial arts, wants to join the army and eventually become a federal marshal) but we aren't too different. Random thing that we do... we have some dry erase markers in the bathroom, and each time we use it, we draw something else on the mirror before we leave, so after a while we have quite the masterpiece. Good times.

Well, I hope that everybody has another good week! Trek and the trip looked like it was a lot of fun. Congratulations on your ace medical terminology work, Jenessa. That's quite the accomplishment. Hope that everybody has a great week!
