The president has encouraged us to see his country.  So we followed the Clawsons out to Barahona and Enriquillio (the farthest point from the mission office) when they did house inspections and took mail.  We had a great time!  I took tons of pictures of how the people live.  But here is some of the scenery we enjoyed!  We missed one day at the office but made it up on Saturday.

Love, Susan & Jim

It was an overcast day, so it was very pleasant!  The other couple said it's usually unbearably hot.

Hi Nancy!  Sounds like the blessing was nice!  Three cute boys!  You have three cute boys!  And to be with Brian the weekend before sounds like an awesome time!  Bet Landon's party was fun!

     Somebody said the Super bowl was last weekend, but we never saw a score and I saw a lot of emails of snacks and ways to celebrate the big game.  (I got on some free junk mail sites I guess), Anyway we turned on the TV before going to bed and it was on--22 to 0.  We were so excited!  Darren has always been a Seahawk's fan (I made his big quilt in their colors.)  We called him. He was thrilled!  He'd been checking the score off and on.  He said don't you remember Mom, both those teams were my favorites.  I'd sort of forgotten about Denver.  Anyway, Nathan was probably cheering for them both too, having served a mission there. 

     Well good to hear from you!  Glad you have had such a nice trip.

Love,

Susan

Very interesting and very colorful pictures!    You are really having some great experiences.

Thank you for your phone call yesterday - sorry it was kind of crazy.  We hadn't been here too long and Megan's parents were here and we were getting ready for a party for Landon.
It was very nice of you to call and think about them when they were blessing the baby.  We went to their ward this morning for the blessing and it was all very nice. (I'll put in some pictures in the newsletter)

I can't believe you're down to your last month!   I'm sure you have really mixed feelings;  ready to be home and see all your family and then leaving all the wonderful people you have met.

Anyway - you are probably not big football fans - I'm not really - but the Super Bowl was today between Denver and Seattle and Seattle won!   Only second championship of any Seattle sports team to win a national championship!  Take care and have a good week - love, Nancy & Ray
