### Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of MEEEEE

So yesterday, Sunday, was an interesting day. Caren and I woke up to our air conditioning not working. Through the help of our home teacher we diagnosed the problem as our fan motor stopped working. We were able to get a hold of Caren's old visiting teaching partner whose husband works to repair air conditioning units. We told him what we thought it was and why and he came right over to fix it. He had a few spare motors on hand and was able to repair it. As a side note, we did call a company to see if they could come and they said they couldn't make it until Monday. We were so happy to have our air conditioning back on again. The temperature in our house got as high as 94 degrees before it was fixed. Hot day.
As for other things, I am done with my workshop for the fellowship I was awarded that will put me into a middle or high school for the coming school year. I will be working with a small school with both 7th and 8th graders. I will be working with 2 different teachers. I am excited to interact with the students and to see what kind of equipment they have at the school. The school is located in Superior, AZ. It is just short of 40 miles away from our home but in the opposite direction of Phoenix. I don't mind as I will be reimbursed for miles driven. Now get this, they reimburse the miles as if I were driving from ASU. So the important mileage is how far away the school is from ASU not from my house. The school is closer to 60 miles away from ASU while as I mentioned before I will be traveling less then 40 miles. So I guess I will be making an extra $2-3 on traveling alone.
Love you all tons and I do hope all is well. SKT
