Dear One and All
The real highlight of this week was the district meeting we had last Friday and lunch afterwards. The training was about Amulek teaching with Alma and was compared to Amulek being the branch member and helping the missionaries. It gave me some things to put in my talk. I had coupons for the Ponderosa(a buffet place) so after meeting we all just went there. We sat in their banquet room and Sandy was out waitress. Evan and I got up to leave before all the missionaries were ready to leave and Sandy stopped us before we got to the door and said she was so impressed by the group. She liked how polite and quiet the kids all were. She said that her daughter and granddaughter were members of our church and her son-in-law had joined and they had just done something where they were put together forever. They must have gone to the temple. We asked her if she would be interested in learning more but she said she just plans on going to visit them and be sure to be there on a Sunday so she can go to church with them before she has anyone else tell her about the church. We went back in and told the missionaries what she had said and to be sure and leave her a good tip. Most of them didn’t have any cash on them so we left $10 and Elder Jacobsen said he had a $5. The missionaries are just such a nice group of young people. We all need to be aware of our example daily. We never kknow who is watching and the affect we might have.
Evan is still enjoying collecting his chestnuts. He gathered another bucket today and has quite a bunch. I don’t know if he will ever get them all roasted but he is enjoying it. He is also looking forward to this Wednesday because he will be cutting wood again with our friend Greg and the Elders. There is so much wood laying around Greg’s property that just needs to be cut to length that he will not have to buy wood for the winter if they can get a good supply cut and down where they can get to it. Evan really wishes he had a table saw to cut all the scrap lumber the neighbor has brought to Greg’s.
We are so glad we have a laptop computer. When we got to the church on Saturday to watch conference we learned that the cable had been cut by the lawnmower people and we had no way to watch it through the satellite. We just hooked the laptop through the system and were able to watch it. Sunday there was quite a group there to watch so it was good we were able to do that. It seems that conference weekend doesn't last nearly as long as it did when I was trying to keep a housefull of kids watching and listening. Now it is over way too fast. Wasn't it a glorious conference!!
We have a busy schedule this week with Zone Meeting, wood cutting, taking the Hermanas for a dentist appointment which will take a good part of the day and then we have stake conference this weekend which means a trip on Saturday and again on Sunday. Three trips to Evansville and one to Huntingburg all in one week will add the miles to our trusty old car. We are blessed that it is still working so well. New tires are in the near future but we have planned for it.
There's not much else to tell this week. We are busy and are still finding the less actives. We found one more we hadn't met before but she can't come to church unless her son comes which isn't going to happen any time soon. She lives about 20 miles out and doesn't drive. Everyone has their reasons but I think hers are more valid than most.
WE are enjoying our time here and can't believe how fast it is flying by. Remember to share your light and be an example as our missionaries are. The gospel is true and we are so blessed to have it and we need to share with everyone.
We love you all.
