August---The Normal Andrew back to work!! ha ha ha ha

Here is Kentucky crossbow shooting and wood cutting...

 This is the member who let them shoot and then had fun poising!

Andrew was the only one in his group of missionaries who knew how to run and use a Chainsaw...they have done lots of service, doing wood!  He loves it!

June 2013 Beautiful Kentucky!

Some awesome pictures and guess who is in my zone that's getting trained by one of the elders that I love.....I am crouching in that picture and they are tippy toeing...

Notes from mom: This is Adam Hill(on the left), who was one of Andrew's Choir buddies at Kuna High School who, I might add, Andrew has not seen in about 3 years!!

Not much for May...just wanted to hear from us...goober!

Jon looks so good in his graduation gown man he is going strong on the right path I am happy he didnt follow his older brothers example and be stupid and leave on his mission so late that his brother four years younger would be leaving on his mission while he was on his......btw I miss all yall too more than you know......you would be proud of me though I have instituted red sgetti in my districts and everyone that hasnt had some feels extremely left out it is so funny how much of a hit it is love your son.

Months of Update! April to November--APR 29th 2013

FIRST is the chicken nuggets that I made. SECOND is my new district the deep south brotherhood and yes that is Elder Anderson my trainer, he is my current zone leader and my companion is the district leader. It is like they want me to go to all of the areas ;) that means I get to speak with the many folk of Kentucky. THIRD the mini mtc that we as missionaries got to go on splits with two youth and go teach the restoration all day, one of them reminded me of Jon and one reminded me of Jake, it was kinda crazy!

my tie bin i have gotten so many they wont fit on two tie racks and i have some of the ugliest ties ever it is awesome

and the second is of me my confederate flag my gutair and my batman like a awesome person!

My new companion is awesome! His name is Elder Tuttle and he was in the mtc with me and boy is it fun. I had two baptisms last week and I have one this week and next week they were crazy and it will be getting more crazy as the days go on. The mission is awesome my new area is jasper indiana and boy is it a blast. I will send you pictures next week or so; we are just rushed because we have to get a few things done today and we have to drive down to owensboro to exchange so that my trainer the district leader, can come interview our baptismal candadate. Boy is mission life fun! You now are getting a taste of the josh broadhead complex :)  Tell Nate hi and that he will start losing hair soon so he should stop being so excited to get older  LOL :) it is so much fun being with some one at my same level out here and boy do we have fun. Tell everyone that I love them and I wish the best and tell Ender he is awesome and I cant wait for when he can come out also tell Jon he better hurry up and go on a mission because that meteor is gonna strike soon :) love all yall
