Update on pictures of Ethan

I have a little more information on these pictures:
"They acutally didn't feed us--we were driving on our way to someone's house and saw their garage was open and  they were moving some stuff around (they recently were able to move back in after a house fire).  So we stopped and helped them move some stuff for a while.  Then they let us ride around a little on their exceedingly nice bikes.  They were super light-weight, with some cool electronic shifting mechanism and a very smooth ride.  So she wanted to take our picture for our moms, so that's what she did.  Super nice family."
"We are Chuck and Diane Walker--retired kindergarten teachers and parents to 7.  Your son and Elder McCracken are awesome missionaries.  We are moving to Hawaii in a couple of months and they came and helped us with a big yard sale on Saturday.  We had a great day with them talking to everyone who came up to buy things, about the church.   We had to sell a lot of our food storage because we can't ship it and so it made a great opener into discussions about the gospel with people.  Your son is working hard; he's being well taken care of by the ward, and you should be very proud of him.  In fact, we are having them over for dinner tomorrow night {which is actually Monday--tonight}.  Sis. Walker"

I am grateful that the members in CA are taking care of Ethan--and sending pictures!!  :D
