September Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello, how are you? I am great. This month was lots of fun. I did cross country for school and did pretty good. It was lots of fun and I made a lot of new friends.

We wen to another RSL game in the owners suite. It was lot's of fun. We got lot's of food and watched a great game. RSL were facing the San Jose Earthquakes and they beat them. My Hawthorn soccer team also got tickets to the game and they were there. It was really nice to see them again. It was tons of fun.

 There is lots to do up here in our new house. Mom always has me take Sam on four wheeler rides up here because you can ride them around everywhere up here. Its how I get to my friends houses. The church is at the bottom of Woodland Hills and they have three wards that go there each Sunday. We like going up Payson canyon to go on hikes and drives. We have tons of fun up here and there is always something to do.

School is going good. I have tons of friends and public schools are way better than charter schools. Me and my friends like going up canyons and trails up here on ATV's and dirt bikes. I'm working in a haunted house at the top of Woodland Hills and it's a lot of fun. The kid who started it is leaving on his mission this year and he made the haunted house to save money for his mission. It's really well done and it's pretty scary. I hope you all have a great fall. Bye.

Love, Eric James Barnhisel

August Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello, This month was great. I went on a scout camp with my new ward and we did a lot of fun stuff there. We had to make boats out of cardboard and tape and me and my partners won.

Grant's wedding was this month. It was great. We went to the temple and me and my cousins waited outside for the rest of our family to come out. We had the reception the night before and we went to an art gallery in Orem. After the wedding we went to lunch at a nice place called Toscano. The food was really good and we had a great time.

We moved out this month. It was so weird to see our house empty. We had to stay in a condo in Payson for a week since we hadn't closed on our new house yet. 

There was a pool at the condo complex we were staying in. We went swimming and we had a lot of fun. 

The first day of school was this month. I am going to Salem Junior High and Brandon is going to the high school. I've already made lot's of friends there and I have a lot of fun classes. 

The BYU vs. Utah game was this month and it wasn't very different than the last 9 years. We went over to our new neighbors house to watch and it was really fun. There were lot's of people from our ward there and we got to meet some more people.

I'm doing cross country for school right now and it's lots of fun. I have really good coaches and I've made some friends on the team. I have a good group of friends up here and we like to ride dirt bikes, go carts and four wheelers around. Our new house is awesome and we love it up here. I hope you all have a great fall. Bye.

Love, Eric James Barnhisel
