Week 8
Talked to Caprice after she went bowling on her PDAY with her district. I was so worried we wouldn't be able to talk because she didn't know how long she would be with her district. The reception on our phones are so bad because we have to make our calls through Facebook Messanger and it doesn't work too well. It cuts out every few minutes and then we loose our call. She told me that what most people don't know about a mission is how busy you always are. Even PDAYS are so busy with laundrey and grocery shopping, that there is not much time for anything else. She also mentioned that she wants some healthy recipes to make because most of the food that is brought over to them (not many meals in members' homes due to COVID), are full of fatty carbs (not that they aren't grateful).
We told her that Beckhem broke his knee scootering this week by falling 5' off a half-pipe onto his knee on the cement at the Morgan Skate Park. We told her that Remy's play was the following week and Remy has had stage fright for the first time. Caprice was so sad she couldn't see Remy play the Genie in Alladin.
Weekly email from Caprice:
Sorry friends this email will be short! I don't have much time this P day

Caprice received her mission call to the Indiana Indianapolis mission on December 7, 2021. She was attending BYU-Idaho when the call was emailed to her, and she asked us to drive up to Rexburg to watch her open her mission call that night. I am so glad we could be there for her special moment! We had all of our extended family watch her open it over a ZOOM call, so it felt like everyone was right there supporting her. Caprice was so nervous to open it but had the biggest smile on her face as she read the letter. When she announced "Indiana Indianapolis Mission" the Gregory's all started cheering! Uncle Aaron is from Indian and has lots of family still living there, so he was pretty excited for her! The funniest part is listening to Caprice trying to pronounce "Indianapolis"! She botched it pretty bad but covered it up like a pro haha. The feeling of happiness for her was overwhelming. Caprice felt instantly a love for Indiana and was so excited that s
