Brennan's weekly email

Hey Everyone!
Things are going pretty well. Brennan sent us his weekly email last Wed.
He also sent us some pictures today. He said in his email that everything is
fine. He said the time is flying, his words were.... The weeks are like days and the
days are like weeks. He said the language is coming too. He can pray and bear his
testimony in Spanish.

All Work??? I think not! Culiacan, Mexico












Welcome to the MTC Brennan's District












Brennan's Companions





















As for the rest of the family, we are all doing well. Tayler is excited for her upcoming birthday.
She has been busy getting ready for the spring dance concert. Rylee is also excited for her upcoming birthday... She turns sweet sixteen this year!!! Her birthday is two days before
prom so she is hoping to go. Soccer season is almost upon us. Kev and I are plugging along mostly work, work, work.

Finally an email!!!

Well I finally received an email from Brennan today!!! I was going crazy waiting to hear something. His P-day is on Wednesday but I guess the MTC messed up and inserted their service hour in the middle of their P-day so he actually has a split p-day half on Wednesday and half on Friday. He sounds good. Has already had some great and not so great experiences but he sounds like he is already growing from them. The companion he was suppose to have never showed up to the MTC so they put him with two other Elders in a Trio. One of his companions is the District Leader. It sounds like he has been very busy. He sounded a little worried about the Spanish but says that he feels the spirit even in a different language. He says he is sending some pictures soon so I will post them as soon as I get them. Love you all. Thanks for the support!!

Still Waiting

Still waiting to hear from Brennan. I am hoping that today
will be his P-day and we will get an e-mail. It is hard not
being able to talk to him. We are all anxious to receive his
e-mail and hear about his companion and everything he has
been doing since we dropped him off on Wednesday.

Brennan enters the MTC

Well we dropped Brennan at the MTC in Provo today

It was a very emotional day. We are excited for him to

go to Mexico and share the gospel but also very sad to have

him not here with us for the next two years. He will be in the

MTC until March 15, 2010. We went up to the Provo Temple

and took some pictures with him before we dropped him off.

Then we pulled up to the curb at the MTC, unloaded his bags,

hugged him and that was it he was gone.

Before we left home

Brennan's Farewell

We had Brennan's Farewell on Jan. 10, 2010. There were so many friends and family that came to support. We ended up with over 150 people at the house that day. Brennan is truly loved and supported. Thanks everyone!!

Brennan goes to the Temple

Brennan went through the Jordan River Temple on Jan. 2nd.

Kevin and Denise Webb, Wendy and Mitch Bowman and Rich and Annette Nichol went through with him. Thanks for all of the support everyone!

December 2009

Christmas at the John house. I didn't do too much decorating this year. I didn't have much time and couldn't really get into it. Probably just knowing Brennan was leaving, I didn't feel up to it. Good news I did get the tree up.
