 Madison Jane Wright was blessed by her dad on September18, 2011.  She was blessed at the home of her great grandparents on her Great Grandpa Wright's birthday

Takhmao

 This was in Phnom Penh

Takhmao
Wow sounds like a lot going on at home. I am so glad to hear the baby is here and she is beautiful. As far as some things about my new area,  it is a lot like my old area but we have this random village that we cover as well and its an hour and half bike ride away so I really like that because I get to leave the city and get a little bit of quiet. All and all I think I am going to like this area much better my new comp ElderAnderson is very laid back so its way nice ...... Being senior comp is kinda fun... its not really any different. The house is nice there is one other companionship in there and there are lots of other house guests like demon spiders that are huge like bigger than your hand and then there was a snake in there this morning... gotta love Cambodia... The investigators in this area are great we are teaching three families which is awesome and we are also teaching this old deaf guy whose wife is a member and is the most humble, kind man I have ever met in my life but I feel like I am day one in my languge because we teach him by writing on white boards so I have to learn how to spell and write words in script faster... but its way fun but he can speak which is good he just cant hear, but this area is slower than my old area right now I am not teaching as much but hopefully that will change once I learn how to work the area better, anyways doing ok I love you all so much and miss you tons...anyways thats all for me I'll have more next week once I'm more settled in.


Love, Elder Wright


  Brent said a boy told him the mine warning signs are to keep cars out.  Just be careful anyway child!

Maddie off to a good start!

I don't think there is anyone in the family who doesn't know what a BYU football fan Sarah is!  Here's Madi enjoying her first football game, it's BYU vs Texas.  Come on Cougs win this one for Madi.  I love the bow.

9/10/11 @ 12:00pm

 We are so excited for Madison Jane Wright!

 First official family picture!

 She's here, we are all happy, I'm not sure she is yet!  I love her birthday, I think it's so her granny can remember the date as she gets older and more forgetful, and she really was born @ 12:00 pm.  Maybe it's a numbers thing, might have something to do with her dad!

The vital stats:  7lbs 6oz, 19 inches long.  Oh happy day!  We can't wait to get to go see her next weekend.

Transfer

Brent is being transferred on Friday to Takhmao, it is just outside Phnom Penh about 30Km, he will be the senior companion and is a little worried about his ability to speak Khmae with a new companion.  I think he will do well.  The picture is of his current district.  I asked him if he will take a bus to the new area, he said no, probably a tuk tuk, check out a tuk tuk in google images, looks way more fun than a bus!  Can't wait to hear about the new area, we love you Brent.

Some NYC pics

Times Square

Museum of Modern Art-they are displaying my my file system! We had tickets for the Met and Museum of Natural History too, if you really want to know why we didn't get there ask Brad for the story! I think we're just saving it for the next trip with you Brenny!

St. Andrews Cathedral

On the boat to the Statue of Liberty

Ground Zero

Chinatown-Kyle and Brad really didn't care what we did in NYC but they had to go to Chinatown, Kyle is driving a hard bargain for a cap. Ask Brad about his Rolex! Kyle's goal was to beat Brad's Rolex deal--he couldn't do it.

Joe's Shanghai came highly recommended, if you go to New York make sure you venture off the beaten path, down a little street (more like alley) to Joe's Shanghai. You have to order the soup dumplings. They're an appetizer. The boys liked them so much we had to go back the next day for soup dumplings again, this time everyone skipped their entrees and each of us ordered our own order of soup dumplings. Mmm, Yum!

This is being created out of sand, Washington Square Park, after seeing Washington Square Park and NYU Kyle decided he could go to NYU.

This pianist was playing at the park, Kyle loved it, we stopped and listened for a long time, he was amazing. If you ask Kyle where all of his money went in NY it was to the hats of all the street musicians and some crazy good brake dancers.

Quite amazing this is in the middle of NYC, looks like we're in the wilderness.

View from the Empire State Building

There was so much to see and do in New York I think we'll have to go again when you're home. We had a fun time figuring out the subway system. We took the train from New York to Boston, I liked it because it was very relaxing, no driving, navigating, traffic etc, I just sat back and read my book. Our train did break down in Connecticut, but oh well, just more time to read while they brought out another engine. We used the subway in Boston (easier than New York) and took the train to Maine. You could really get spoiled with public transportation, it's too bad it really doesn't work here. I'll put some of our Boston pics up for you before next week, we love you Brent.

Some Pictures for Brenny Boy

Ok, Brenny, more pics for you: here are a few from the open house in Redlands:

Grandpa made it!

We got so busy that no one took pictures once the guests started arriving, we had a great party, great evening. Did I tell you the cupcake story? Aunt Debi gave me the most gorgeous cupcakes you've ever seen! Aunt Lorene brought them over and set them out on the cupcake stand, it was late, we were all tired, we went to bed and the next morning----ANTS! They were covered in ants. I remembered Kristin R's sage advice "this can be solved with $20 and a trip to Albertsons!" I was at Albertsons at 6:00 am as soon as they opened crying to the bakery lady, (honest, crying I couldn't keep back the tears!) Can I get cupcakes? Can I get cupcakes today! Bakery lady, "Of course honey, we can get you cupcakes, how many, what color, what flavor? I'll have them ready for you by noon!" Saved the day! No one even knew (or cared) about the most beautiful cupcakes in the trash.

Ok let me see if I can find you some pictures from NYC, I think they're on dad's laptop.
