O-HI-O

So, we are really loving Ohio! There is so much to do here and the people are so friendly. Our new ward is HUGE! It is a shock because we just came from the small Conestoga Branch. I got a new calling as a Sunday school teacher for the 14 and 15 year olds. I love it!!! I miss primary a lot, but I'm loving teaching the older kids. Lynn got called as the Young Men's Secretary. It's a perfect calling for him right now because he can participate in the activities when he wants to, but he still has the option of not going if he is really busy with residency.

We have had fun swimming in our community pool. Porter has made friends super fast and we've already had quite a few play dates. I'm grateful for the kindness of the ladies out here, they are so good to invite us places. I have made friends fast as well! Relief Society is so great because whenever you move you've got an instant group of friends. Lynn is getting excited for football season, people are crazy about it out here. I've already made plans with a group of ladies to leave the kids with the football watching men, and taking a trip to the outlet mall.

I have to say that we miss Omaha a ton, but we are so blessed to be in Columbus now.

I'm so happy you guys are adjusting so well. I can't imagine not having the R.S. People are just naturally drawn to you guys, so you'll have no trouble making great friends! Is Porter starting school this year?

We miss you in Primary. But I'm glad you are happy in your new ward.
