To Our Little Froggers

It is time for a letter from your Frozen Granny. One of the things we have been looking for are places and things with the grandkids names in them. We found a Valley named Ivan's Valley, North Pole has a Lolly St. (we have an Aunt Lolly), there is a Grey Fox St (Cousin Grey) , and writer's first name was Dermott (the McDermott family girls can name a boy Dermott). We are teaching a family whose last name is Lane (Uncle Lane). We will keep looking and let you know when we find your name.

It has been very cold and actually fun to know we can survive extreme cold.

Other fun things are things they have been doing at the science lab. They throw pans of boiling water out side and it makes a big puff of frozen steam, no water. When they blew bubbles outside they froze. Instead of bursting, they dented and deformed and blew across the ground in a circle of breeze. When they did break, they shattered like plastic or glass. This can only be done at -40 so I don't think you can do it in Utah or Oregon. If you want to see it you will have to come see us next winter. If it gets that cold again we will let you know. It is like spring outside right now but they say it will get cold again.

We spend a lot of time studying and learning more about the gospel so we know how important it is to read the scriptures. We heard a speaker talk at the MTC about her children reading the Book of Mormon before they get baptized. We thought this was a wonderful idea and would like to challenge each of you to read the Book of Mormon before we get home. Get some colored pencils and just start reading. You don't have to understand every thing you read bit when you read something that you do understand you could underline that in a color. When you read something that you really really like you could underline it in your very favorite color. You don't have to read very much. Set your goals to read each night according to your age, five minutes a night for one, one chapter for another, or maybe just 2-3 verses would be enough for the very youngest. Let us know if you will accept this challenge.

We sure like it when you write or email us and we especially like your pictures, it makes us feel like you are near to have your pictures hanging on our wall. Have any of you learned a life's lesson and found a scripture to go with it? Following is my life lesson and grandpa thinks his is very funny.

Please send us some of your lessons. If you send them to us we can send them to everyone else.
We love and miss you and thank you for supporting us while we are here with your love, letters, and prayers, Grandpa and Grandma Robbins
