1st mission picture


Well, we received this picture of Sis. Lee with Pres. and Sis. Hemingway of the New York Rochester Mission. Audrey and I think Erin's coat looks really good. This picture was taken on the very first camera in Western New York. Funny how George Eastman, founder of Kodak is from Rochester, I would have expected a sharper image. Oh well.

Oh, and another funny story - actually quite alarming. We were coming home from Alison's orchestra concert last night, Audrey was driving. We were just coming through a four way stop and two boys were goofing around and they were crouched behind a truck coming the other way through the 4 way stop. Just as Audrey started proceeding the one boy threw himself in front of the car. Of course Audrey totally hit him and he rolled into the ditch, jumped up and starting running. I was super mad, and I yelled out the window and had Audrey keep following him. The kids say when I get really upset my voice turns into a man voice. He wouldnt talk to us, but I came home and called the police. At first I wondered if it was a suicide attempt, but then I realized they were trying to be daring and funny or something. Audrey wasnt as shook up as me, it all happened so fast. Konrad was in the back with Alison and they didnt see him jump out like I did. Ridiculous kid. My only consolation is he was probably really, really sore when he woke up this morning. I have never met anyone that thought it was fun to jump in front of a moving car. Strange.

  2. Hey, she's in the same mission as a guy who used to work with us at BYU Print Services....because JUST TODAY I saw a picture of him standing by the EXACT SAME sign!!! Weird...they must take ALL the new missionaries there for their "first" picture! Hope the man voice made that kid mess his pants...he deserves something super ridiculous like that for what he did.

  4. Erin looks so great!

    And what a weird story. I would have freaked out as well. Who in their right mind would say, "Hey, I'm bored. Lets go jump in front of cars for a while. That sounds awesome!!" Hello.

  7. Man voice? That is a major temptation for us to get you mad! I guess in Logan people get a little too bored . . . and jump in front of cars! I am a fan of the coat. That picture is hilarious, later she can tell her kids she was the first missionary in upstate NY.

  9. I wanted to know where Sister Erin was serving, and now I do.I know she will do well there and be an inspiration to many. She is a beautiful girl. Just like her Mother. What is the deal with the coat?? I can totally see the man voice thing. What a hoot.

  10. We are so happy that family has joined us here in the state of NY. I must say I thought the jacket looked great as well. We hope to bump into Erin in July in Palmyra.
