How to Write to those Missionaries:

Several sisters asked Linda for Ashley's address yesterday so she is passing the following information along!  This information is helpful to anyone wanting to write a missionary (it's free for letters going to the Provo MTC and just the cost of the stamp for letters going to missionaries around the world).

This is the easiest, fastest, least-expensive way to write Ashley Miller (or any other sister or elder in the MTC).  There is no stamp cost or trip to the post office.  You don't need to open an account or log in.

Go to:
dearelder.com
click write a letter (top orange tab)
enter MTC Provo in Letter Selection area
click write a letter
fill in your name, address, etc. in the provided fields
fill in Ashley's information in the provided fields:
        Sister Ashley Miller
        108    TAIW-TCG    0324
scroll down
it will ask for your email address which you can give if you would like them to send you a copy - otherwise, you don't need to enter it.
scroll down
write letter in provided box (up to 7900 characters)
click check spelling
click send letter


That's it!  It's awesome! They will make a hard copy, put it in an envelope, and deliver it to her MTC mailbox.  If you write it before noon, she will get it the same day.  Otherwise, she'll get it the next day.

Remember:  This service will also send letters to missionaries all over the world for the cost of the stamp.


Good to know!  (Thanks, Linda!)

Free Flowers!!

Okay - If you don't know by now............Our renters and back-up renters backed out of renting our house. My 10% is prevailing and we are staying put and selling the Lone Peak house. As a result I am "remodeling" my yard.   I have tons of orange/yellow day lilies and irises (not sure what colors) sprouting out. I am leveling the yard to start fresh, therefore I have for the taking. If you would like some - no need to call just come over and dig them up - they are lining the west side of the current garden plot.

Happy Spring!

Be Vigilant...Be Aware

This email was forwarded to us from the 5th Ward, and I felt like it was important enough that we should pass it along right away.  Not to scare you, but just to make us all more aware.

Dear 5th Ward Families:

We had two home invasions yesterday.  One at Loyal and Jennifer Hulme's (Lone Peak Meadows II) and the Warner's (Bellevue).  Please alert everyone you know via email in your respective neighborhoods.  Don't leave your garage doors open and lock your doors during the day.  Both of these invasions happened in the morning and afternoon.  The one person was a male between 20-30 years old wearing jeans and a black coat.  One of them tried the front door and also jumped over the fence gate and went to the glass sliding door and tried to enter.  The other one went into the garage (door up) and took credit cards from the homeowners purse that was in her car and has charged thousands of dollars in just one day.  DON'T LEAVE PURSES OR WALLETS IN YOUR CAR.  I left a voice mail message for the Draper City Police to patrol our neighborhoods more frequently over the next week. 

Be safe!

Mike Brinton

Be alert and lock everything even if you are just going to be gone a few  minutes.  Thieves wait and watch and know when you leave.  Be careful when you go to Church to lock your home and set your home security alarm, if you have one.  We don't want this to happen to you!!

Here's the details from the two homeowners in Lone Peak Meadows II and Bellevue who experienced the home invasions:
 

My car was broken into and my purse was stolen today.  Thousands of dollars have been spent on my cards.  My garage door was open for about an hour today.  I talked to some people where my card was used at Buckle and they said it was 2 middle age women.  One was heavier set with brown hair and the other had short red hair.  She said she had an 11 year old daughter.  They also purchased stuff for her boyfriend.  I can't believe that someone would do such a thing.  Please pass this on to everyone you can.

Hi Neighbors,

This email is to make you aware of a near break in this morning (3/25) at around 8:00 am.  I was taking children to school, and left my 9 year old daughter at home alone.  I was only gone for ten minutes, but during that time a man tried to break into our home.  My daughter saw him through the front window approach our house.  He then tried to open our locked front door, and shook it several times.  He then jumped our locked fence, and proceeded to try and open our sliding back door.  The door was secured with a stick in its track, and he was only able to slide it two inches open.  He tried several times and then ran away from our house, heading south.  The man was white, between 20 - 30 years of age, had dark hair, a black coat, and was wearing jeans.  The police found nothing when they arrived, but advised that we all need to be cautious of our surroundings.  Most importantly, do not leave garage doors open.  There are many thefts due to easy access to your belongings.  Also, keep your gates locked.  Although this man jumped our fence, usually a locked gate will deter the intruder.  Also, for those of you who have an alarm system, if an intruder enters a home and hears the alarm beeping, they usually flee immediately.  Loyal and I have become lax with ours, and only set it at night, but after this morning that will change. 
We live in a great neighborhood, with wonderful neighbors.  We just wanted you to be aware, so you can all be a little more diligent in noticing our surroundings, suspicious behavior, and take the steps necessary to keep your family safe.
