Kia Ora Mina,
As you know it’s Super Bowl today (Chiefs beat the 49ers 31-20) we had shrimp soup, noodles and crab wontons. We also had our Stake choir practice, Tyrell didn’t come he says he already knows the songs from one practice he’s a professional. Jaxon turned 17 on tuesday, went and ate at Golden China late had to wait for Tyrell to finish his class. It was yummy though had shrimp, steak, noodles, shrimp salsa and coffee cake. Came home and sang a birthday song to Jaxon and he opened his presents, he got some hoodies and bundaberg and money. We had tres leches for his cake. Then on friday Dad and I took him to Sagato’s for fish’n’chips and pies. Auntie Heather took the girls to Mo Bettas in South Jordan to see Talia working there. Uncle Jared moved into their new house in Day Break South Jordan a few weeks ago. We haven’t seen it yet. Been working at least 15 hrs a week and hibernating if its really cold outside, we're going to have a storm this week. But Puxatawny Phil says spring is coming early! Anyways keep up the good work praying for you always.
Love you Mum and Dad xxx

Watching Luther VanDross on YouTube right now, love his voice! Friday I went to buy a corsage at Smith’s for Jayda Masina, she’s going to her Sweethearts dance with him. Well they don’t make them anymore, dang it. Jay and I went to Valley Fair Mall to look for a tie to match Jayda’s bright pink dress. I found a beautiful pearl bracelet at Ross for Jayda and a tie on clearance. We walked around some more and found another tie at ‘Tie One On’, took a while to decide which one to buy. Jaxon didn’t like the tie I got from Ross, but liked the other one it was $20. Also got her a box of chocolates and flowers.
Jayda came and got Jaxon for brunch Saturday morning. In the afternoon got a text from Tonja Masina saying Monique will be at church tomorrow morning and if Tyrell could come and meet with her about having a date. We were all in the basement and I showed Tyrell her msg, then I was talking to him about it. Jay over heard and was being funny saying what’s he gonna say in church people will hear him and go, “Oooo Tyrell is asking Monique out!” then go to Relief Society and tell them all about it! lol
After Jaxon’s nap I trimmed his hair a little. Jayda looked beautiful when she picked him up for the dance in the afternoon. She put his corsage on his white shirt, it was funny. Jay and I were asleep when he came home, Jay found out that he got home around 1:30am.
Sunday Tyrell came to church we were having Ward Conf. Tyrell missed speaking to Monique after cause she went to class lol. After Relief Society I say’s to Monique my son is in the hallway lets go set up your date, or something like that? Lol Tyrell was talking with Sis Patterson, I says what you guys doing? Sister Patterson says Tyrell’s just answering my question. Then Sis Patterson says what you doing? I said, “I’m just setting up a date between these too!’’lol Sis Patterson then says well that’s more of a priority… we then walked off saying will let you guys discuss that on your own. We also had our last choir practice for Stake conf. I drew some pictures of a song ‘I will walk with Jesus’ Sis Anderson asked me/us to, it took me all afternoon and we used them once! lol The Masina’s were there as well. Jaxon didn’t come with us cause he was in a deep nap.
Well it was good talking with you I hope your transfer is good for you and you are still happy, be positive and rely on the lord. We hope you are well, we pray for you always!
Love Mum and Dadxxx
Hello egg,
On Saturday I went to a dance with Jayda. She picked me up around 10 for breakfast. We had Shake Shack, it was delicious. Then she picked me up at around 6 to take pictures then after the pictures we went to her friends house to eat dinner. Then after the dinner we went to the dance. Her school is full of white people so it was weird. And they don’t even dance they just all jump up and down in the middle of the gym. But after the dance we went back to her friends house and played this funny board game. That’s basically everything fun that happened this week so hope you have an awesome week.
Love, Jaxon XOXO
Hi Mina,
Not much happened this week, I hung out with Alex and we played vr horror games on the ps4, it was funny haha, you gotta try it sometime because it feels legit. Today at church I asked Monique out on a date but she already knew, because our mums have been trying to set us up haha. Anyways I’ll let you know how that goes. I hope you enjoy the new area.
Love you, and stay safe! Tyrell XOXO
Hello Mina,
Yesterday, Kage let me come with him to the Murray Rec. Center with his friend Colton Boyd after we played a little. His other friend met us there and his name is Jd Segura. We played basketball and this group of kids and 2 adults invited me to play with them so I did. Afterwards, we walked to Chick-fil-a and ate. Kage gave me his fries, that’s all I had. Then we walked to Best Buy mucked around with the phones and did something called the love calculator on a computer. Kage did me and Jd and we got 70 something % and then he did me and Colton together and we got 94%... Aunty Heather picked Kage, Colton, and I up because Jd’s mom was picking him up and we went back to Kage’s. We had pizza and played Gang Beasts. That was probably the closest I’m going to get with actually hanging out with friends and it was pretty fun. What I meant was I have no friends that want to hang out unlike Kage’s friends who hang out with him ALL THE TIME!!! So unfair… Anyways, I hope you have a great week, stay safe! I LOVE YOU!!!
Love, Leila XOXO

We had Stake conference and we all sang in the choir. We did 6 songs and they sounded really nice. Tyrell sat next Monique Masina in the choir. The night before he went on his date with her for the first time and he said he had a lot of fun and she told her parents she had a lot of fun. They went to Round 1 at South Towne mall but it was busy so they walked around the mall before going to All Star bowling on Redwood rd 78th south. Then they ate at the Pie Pizzeria then went downtown to the State Capitol and he taught her how to play the ukulele. Then they got hot chocolate at 7’11 and he got home around 11:50pm. Mum is excited to find out everything they do or say and always wants to see the texting and so forth. I told her to stop being a nosy parker. You know all this already but we have to write it because these letters all go into our journal. After Stake conference we ate lunch at the Gudgeons as their daughter Kapri got home from her mission in the Wellington mission. I went to CCNZ with the Dad, Duane. Saturday afternoon we also went to Uncle Jared’s to eat dinner. We hadn’t seen his new home yet. It’s nice and very open. The basement hasn’t been done yet but is also huge. Well can’t think of much else.
Love Dad and Mum xoxo

Hi Sister Wihongi,
I had Monday off because it was Presidents day. I slept in of course. We walked around Valley Fair Mall with Leila and looked in a few stores. They have an Allstar bowling alley with arcade games, bumper cars and Lazer tag now by the food court. I bought some new ties at Ross. Tuesday for work I drove with a co-worker to our data center in Richfield to take a server appliance and pick 3 up. That’s a 2.5 hour drive one way. That pretty much took up my whole work day. Wednesday we ate at Golden China for Mum’s bday and then opened her gifts after. She had a Key lime pie for her bday cake. I got some light bulb speakers for a gift and they are in the lamps above our bed. I also got mum some new white dishes and cups. Friday we went back to Valley Fair Mall after we went to the temple to take the girls to a movie. We had Megaplex gift cards from Christmas to pay for the tickets and treats. Mum and I walked around, did shopping at Ross again and Old Navy. I got new church pants. Saturday evening we ate dinner at the Wolferstan’s church for Imogen’s home-coming. She isn’t speaking in church for another month or so because she’s going to NZ and Aus. We did a short Maori show. We’re so proud of you and so grateful for your example to us all. Stay humble and prayerful.
Love Dad and Mum xoxo
Hello Mina,
Yesterday we went to Imogen’s Homecoming party. I went with Jaxon and Talia to babysit a friend’s baby afterwards. The baby was asleep the whole time so we just watched movies and ate snacks. Erana and I went to see Sonic the Hedgehog on Friday. It was at Megaplex while mom and dad were walking around the mall. In the morning on Friday, mom, dad, and I went to the temple and I was GOING to do baptisms, but my temple recommend was expired, so I had to wait for like an hour for mom and dad to be done with endowments. Mom, dad, and I walked around the same mall from Friday on Wednesday (I think, maybe not). We ate at Golden China for mom’s birthday dinner. Jaxon and I went to mutual, or whatever you call it, and it was all about food from different cultures. There was Samoan, Australian, French, Italian, and Japanese. Samoan had panipopo, Australian had vegemite, tim tams, and meat pies, France had cheese or hummus on baguettes, Italian had pepperoni and this olive dip thingy on crunchy bread, and Japan had curry. While Jaxon was driving out of the parking lot, I had my window open and he stopped right in front of Kaitlyn’s car while she was getting out of her parking spot. She honked at us and guess what I did? ….. I did the fake middle finger at her! HAHAHA! And then we drove off. The fake middle finger is the ring finger only. It was sooo funny! After mutual, mom opened her gifts. I hope you have a great week, stay safe! I LOVE YOU!!!
Love, Leila XOXO
