The Cube is Conquered!!

We got this cube for Christmas maybe four years ago or so, I can't quite remember. Mr. Incredible and his family still lived here and we all spent many hours trying to put it together. Mr. Incredible had so much fun with it that he even got his very own cube because he was so confident that he would be the one to solve it first. So, we kind of had this contest between our families to see who could do it first. It has been so long that I don't even remember what we decided the winner would get. I think maybe it was dinner at Ambrosia for the family that solved it. (Of course I can say that now that I know who won!) Mufasa and myself along with the rest of our family have spent many hours over the years trying to do it. Like all great toys it just keeps coming out of the closet over time. There are over 19,000 solutions and do you think we could find just one??? NO!!!!

After many years the time has come for the cube to be conquered. Guess who conquered the cube?????? Drumroll.............................................



Yes, none other than our own 11 year old Buzz!!!! Like Buzz always says, "To Infinity and Beyond!!"

So, Mr. Incredible. We will accept full payment in June. :)

Missionary Man

Yes, it has been forever since I have updated my blog. But at long last, here is an update on how our missionary is doing. Well, needless to say he is not that fond of the MTC. He hates the food, is struggling with the language, and doesn't like being in one place all the time. But, we have seen progress through the weeks (he has been there in Provo for six weeks now) and he is starting to feel better about things. He is doing better with the language but of course it will be awhile before he has a better grasp on it but at least he is making progress. His companions (he had two) left this week for Brazil and he said that he filed some online visa paperwork about a week in a half after they did so he is hoping that his visa comes through soon. As soon as his visa is processed he will be shipped off to Brazil. Here are some pictures that he sent home last week.
