Our latest addition

We are really excited about our new Hyundai Elantra GLS.  Bruce worked tirelessly finding a great deal on the new Hyundai and I love driving it to work everyday!  It's not super fancy but I love the built-in bluetooth and the iPod port.  I know everyone seems to love the "new car" smell, but I'll be glad when it wears off.  We bought island seat covers and Hawaii decals for the back window so it doesn't look like a tourist car.  Pretty sweet.

And, yes, I do let Scott drive it...sometimes.  He's pretty excited to have Grandma's Nissan to drive now.  It may be old (1997), but it only has 42,000 original miles on it and it drives just fine. 

On another note, Scott is preparing for his Eagle Project coming up the end of the month.  Next post will have pictures of the project.  We are very excited to help him reach this level of scouting; everyone has been so supportive and helpful.  We are looking forward to a productive day of ... oh wait, it will be a surprise! 

Also, Scott was sustained as the first counselor in the priest's quorum today.  His testimony and leadership have grown here in the land of Aloha.  He continues on the cross-country team this season and is looking forward to varsity soccer and track to round out the year at school. 

Amy continues to work hard on her mission in Boston.  She loves the people of Revere, where she is currently serving.  Spanish is coming more easily and she gets pretty excited when she can follow and participate in a meaningful conversation without getting lost.  She writes every week of her encounters with investigators and members.  It's hard to believe that next month marks her one-year point.  Bruce and I are looking forward to picking her up in Boston in April next year. 

More to come...next time.
