January 2020! Jaxon's 17th Birthday

1/5/20

Hi Mina,
I’ve been doing stuff to our room to surprise Mum when she gets back. I got a new vanity for her and put up cabinets for books and this weekend I painted the trim around our bed and mirror doors and the windows. I put up new lights. It looks good. I’ve gone to Ikea, Home Depot , Lowes and got stuff off Amazon to do all of it. I had New Years at Uncle Scotts. We ate finger foods Auntie got and played some card games with Talia and the others. We played Monopoly cards, Uno and Yahtzee cards. I left shortly after the countdown about 12:30am. Uncle Jared and fam we're there for a bit then went to a Brazilian party but Talia stayed. Mum called earlier and I said to call back when we have the countdown but she forgot. She called when I was in bed about 1:30am. It’s a new decade and what will it have in store. Marriages and grandkids and things like that. Should be interesting. As long as we stay faithful to the Lord everything will work out as it is supposed to.
Love Dad and Mum

Kia Ora, 
Been home for a week now from NZ. When we came into SLC it was snowing like a blizzard storm. Was wishing we were back in sunny NZ. Our NZ trip was fun, we did a lot of fun stuff like going to Otara markets, Church with your Aunty Debbie Wihongi and her mokos, shopping a lot at the Warehouse and Pak n Save, Pokeno ice-cream, sleepovers at your Grandpa Pats,  doing the luge and Whakarewarewa again. By the way if you go to Whakarewarewa don’t pay tell them your great grandma is Agnes Whareaitu and they’ll let you in for free. Then went down to Hastings - Omahu and stayed with Aunty Trisha. While in Omahu we ate a lot of Rush Munros ice-cream, went to Splash Planet, painted Aunties house, went to Napier Marine parade, ate fish n chips a lot, Souvenirs, had lamb tails too, visited with my bff at Oceans Spa. Bore my testimony and delivered a package to Elder Sam Ballard.  Stopped in Taupo took a little dip in the river and toured around ‘Hobbiton’. Photo’s at your grandpa Barneys gravesite. Last day drove on the wrong side of the road lol. 
Was good to be back home to my sweetheart and that’s it lol he had a nice surprise for me he remodeled our room a little it looks awesome, you know he said he showed you. 
Just last week just worked and back to the same routine, back to reality. I have to work and still pay of some of my trip and then start saving for our trip in Sept to MCO.  Anyways awesome speaking with you today, keep up the good work love you so much, Mum and Dad xxx 
Just read your letter and I feel for you my beautiful Princess you hang in there!😭 Will say extra prayers for you and your companion. Don't overthink your work you've done cause you have nothing to show at your mtg. You're probably not the first or the last to have that happen. HF knows you did your best, you are  sacrificing so much for him. You've got just 6 months left and you'll see it go by quickly so work hard and pray hard and love the people and there will be no time to be trunky. Grandma is watching over you and many others so keep up the GOOD work and Kia kaha!!! 
Love YOU!😘😘😘

Hello egg,

We just walked around. That’s about it this week so hope you have a fun and more interesting week than mine lol. Love, Jaxon XOXO

Hi Mina,
 A Lot has changed at church like you have to wake up at seven and leave at nine and in primary the chairs changed. I don’t know what else to say oh ya and Leila and me are going to sleep over at Kage and Drays house. 
Love erana xoxoXoxoxoxo

Hello Mina,
Erana and I went over to Jenna’s (our friend’s) house to play after we had piano on Tuesday. For YW on Wednesday, it was class activities so the 14-15 class made bread at Sister Moutsos’s house. We ate muffins too. Erana and I had Tausala practice on Thursday, and my legs were shaking whenever I tried to bend lower. Yesterday, Erana and I played over at Kage’s house and I was practicing my backflips on a mattress in the basement. Today, we are going to church and then Kage’s family is going to come over for dinner. I hope you have a great week, stay safe! I LOVE YOU!!!
Love, Leila XOXO

Hello Mina,
Erana and I slept over at Kage’s house and played all Monday. We were combined with the YM on Wednesday and separated into teams and did things similar to minute-to-win it. There were 4 activities that were physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual. We rounded up all the points that each team made from each activity. The most points wins candy and a plastic trophy. My team won. We had sliced apples and grapes with caramel. The physical activity was to pop the other team’s balloons that are tied around their ankles. The other activities I can’t fit them to their proper… title? Or whatever was riddles, stacking cups, and writing down 2 scripture verses and we each can only write one word each. Mom got us Mcdonald’s after Tausala practice on Thursday. Alexis teaches with Birdie now, she has been for a while. Yesterday, Mom, Erana and I played went to Aunty Dolly’s granddaughter’s baby shower. Then Erana and I played over at Kage’s house and I was practicing my back handsprings on the tramp and decided to try on the little hill. It took me 10 minutes to work up the courage to finally do one, and then I did 6 more. We had choir practice today after church and got grapes, gold fish, and cheese. I hope you have a great week, stay safe! I LOVE YOU!!!
Love, Leila XOXO

We had the day off for Martin Luther King day. Mum and I went shopping and ended up spending a lot of money at Ross. We got some stuff for Jaxon’s birthday. We had a normal week otherwise. Didn’t do a whole lot this weekend. Not much to write about. Hope all is well.
Mum will write a little more now. Sister Masina asked Jaxon after church if he would go to a school dance with Jayda, he said yes. And then Sister Masina asked Tyrell after choir practice today if she could set up a blind date with her daughter ‘Monique’, Tyrell also agreed lol Now were watching the last Star Wars movie its dumb and cheese, actually I fell asleep for most of it hahaa but I woke up to a lot of cheese!!! Keep up the good job love you so much

Hello egg,
In Weight Training I ripped my pants lol so I dipped class to drive home and change. It was pretty funny. On Friday I went to Jess’s house and saw Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker. It was really cheesy and not good lol. Those are the only interesting things that happened this week so hope you have a good one. 
Love, Jaxon XOXO
