Wow! it has been almost a month since our last post.  Oh well, we have much to report.   First of all we had 3 more people sign up for flags, that takes us to 49 flags ($3580 to go).

Our sweet home teacher gave Emma a French Book of Mormon and asked her if each month when he comes that she would read a few verses in French.  He loves to hear the language.  How thoughtful is that!? THANK YOU BRO. TILBY!  We have GREAT home teachers, we love them and their families.

We finally took in the cans that Aunt Cindy and Grandma gave us (darn I should have gotten a pic of it, maybe next time). We got a whopping $5.40, I think the guy that weighed it for us wrote down a few extra pounds even...every little bit counts:) ($3575 to go)

Emma went to Grammies house and helped her clean out cupboards and closets.  She really enjoys spending time with Grammies.  When they clean they tell stories about things in the cupboard or closet.  She earned $50. THANK YOU GRAMMIES($3525 to go)

A couple of items that Brook Lowe gave us to sell at Quilted Bear sold, giving her $20 more. THANKS AGAIN BROOK! ($3505 to go)

Emma got her passport in the mail....So exciting!! Little steps to a big trip:)

I sold something on 24/7 yardsale giving her $10. ($3495 to go)

We had our March P2P meeting yesterday where we talked about appropriate behavior and got ideas of how to pack and be safe. Emma was also given a Journal assignment and gets to do a project on something from England or France (she chose the Eifel Tower-no surprise).

 Here is a pic of Emma playing a get-to-know-you game.  The girls had to find 3 not so obvious things they have common.

And another great photography moment by Gideon (Emma's 2 yr old brother) This is our leader Traci Nuttal and part of our group.

Before this meeting we were supposed to finish 2 modules on the P2P website where we watch a video to learn about the countries they are traveling to and then take a test.  We found out we were doing it all wrong so we tried to catch up before this meeting. We did Geography and Art.  Geography we didn't do so well, you have to get 100% on the test to pass it off and you only have 3 chances per hour to do it.  We didn't get 100% in those 3 chances so we have to wait:( The good thing about that is Emma is really gonna know her stuff.  You cant forget those things you have to do and re-do. Well, now that we know how to do it we will work on it each week and get ahead and finish all those required.

One other thing I learned this past month is that people can make donations/payments directly to Emma's account at http://payment.peopletopeople.com/ and put in her delegate # 10205205.

My sister Kirsten is doing some photo shoots to help raise money for Emma's trip. I believe she has 3 people signed up.  I will make note of the money when it actually comes in. THANK YOU AUNTIE KIRSTEN!!
