Kysa is in swim club, and Shay is taking lessons, and afterwards they have a
blast together in the outdoor pool!
We have enjoyed getting missionary emails from Ty’s former player Jeremy Kuns. Just thought I’d post them from time to time.
Hey everyone!!! Well it was an interesting week. Octoberfest opened up in München this past Saturday...and because there are so many people that go to it...there are a lot more people living in Augsburg to take refuge for the next couple of weeks. Well there´s a picture attatched...but we had the opportunity to go to "Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration" movie and the church that we saw it at was right next to where they have Octoberfest :S haha it was quite a sight (given the fact that the subway station is in the middle of it. It was a very uplifting film though...I haven´t seen it since the Missionary Training Center and I really needed the extra boost which it gave me.
I think I forgot to mention last week. But the name of my new companion is Elder Bullock and he´s from Logan, Utah. He´s pretty new in Germany...but that doesn´t really matter when you have a testimony in your heart. We´ve been working hard and have found some new people this past week...two of whom are very promising. Unfortunately as with most weeks (sorry) I am running low on time and must go. Thank you so very much for the pictures....I know I can´t keep up with Dad with all of my pictures...but I try to do my best :) I love you all...miss you...and can´t wait to see you all again here real soon.
Love always,
Elder Jeremy Kuns

And then she grabs my hand and kisses it.
Shay is such a brown noser. But it works. She doesn't get yelled at when
she gets out of bed to give us compliments and hugs and kisses. Funny how
that works.
Ty and I are having a bit of a biggest loser competition before we head to
Vegas in a little over 4 weeks. We weighed in last night at 210 and 161.
Yikes! I'm not sure what Ty is doing for his diet, but I am starting Bill
Phillips "transformation" program and the Take Shape For Life diet. Bill's
stuff more for the motivation, workouts, and overall changes, and the Take
Shape For Life diet because it's working great for Steve Frei and I really
like Shawna Hodges, and I think it may be something that would work well for
Dad if he wants to do it.
Raleigh seems to be doing well after 3 days back to school. He had football
practice last night and tonight. He's enjoying football a lot and excited
for their first game on the 11th. It's looking like I will be missing the
VikingMan triathlon because we've just got too much going on that day. Ty
has the ACT's and I don't want to miss Raleigh's first game. Still not sure
what time the game is though so the verdict is still out on what I'll do.
I went up to BYU-I yesterday for a training for faculty. My online course
starts on Monday. I also went up to St. Anthony to meet with the folks at
Austin's office about marketing Austin as the new doc and an obstetrics
specialist.
I have been playing way too much tennis as I got roped into being on a
"twilight" women's team and playing mixed doubles. Six more matches to go
and it will be over, and then I'll just be doing lessons once/week with
Gretchen Maloney (a local pro) and some other ladies. Ty and I enjoyed
playing last week with Greg and Susan Ehardt. Hopefully we can do that
again because it was a good matchup. They are a little better than us but
it was quite competitive. I can tell I'm improving, thanks to lots of
singles with Ty with the kids riding around the Skyline tennis courts on
their scooters and bikes at night. It really has been a fun thing to do
this summer, and something we've never done before because I sucked too bad
to play a competitive game with Ty. I keep wondering, "Where was tennis all
my life?" Wow, I sure enjoy it. It's very addicting. Almost like playing
video games, except for the exercise part.
