Week #37

Senior missionaries at the game
It looks as if things are going to warm up around here. Last week the temperatures seemed to moderate but I looked at the forecast this morning and the week coming up has high temperatures in the 100's with a high of 105 degrees next Sunday. I guess it is called summer. We are thankful for AC and that we don't have to work out in the heat.

Barely...
We did enjoy the Royals baseball game Tuesday evening. There was some rain pregame but none during the game. It was Dollar Dog Nite which we took advantage of and we each got a free Royals tee shirt to boot. Talk about a cheap date. The Royals tried their best to lose the game. They got behind in the first inning on a two run homer but led most of the game even though the same guy also hit a three run homer. The Royals led by five going into the top of the ninth but gave up four runs and ended up winning 11-10 with the tying runner on base. So it was a fun game with lots of scoring. The missionaries singing the national anthem was a bust as we couldn't see them as they were on the warning track up against the fence. We did see them on the scoreboard.

Our poor little washing machine got a workout this week. Mom must have done 40 loads and would have done more except for a couple of other sisters taking some to their place. It makes me wonder what the neighbors must be thinking when they see us hauling bags and bags of stuff into our apartment and putting all the done laundry back into the car. We dropped most of the done bedding back at the cave on Saturday as I don't think there would have been room to haul it all back tomorrow.
Pretty good for a beginner

Mom finished the puzzle Shane and Marcene gave her. I thought she should glue and save it as it was a lot of work. But, no, she broke it up. She is also trying her hand at water colors and I think they look good. She is so multi-talented.

Saturday we went to the farmers' market in Liberty. They were not shy about the prices they charge and we were disappointed in the produce. The corn was tough and the watermelon and cantaloupe not too good. We did enjoy the tomatoes.
1776 is mom - Sis. Moses next to her.

Tomorrow we will be half way through our mission. Time is really moving. Once we get through this hot spell and then into fall it will go even faster with the holidays coming on. 

Have a nice Pioneer Day. It looks as if Travis, Kirston, and Jana and some of their families made it down; some just for the derby on Saturday. I'm not sure why they held everything on Saturday and not tomorrow.
Maybe we'll be there next year. 😃



All done
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.  Acts 3:6

Week #60

Alisa and kids. One thing they bought was a goat. I'm going to take a Christmas break and do mostly pictures today. Besides, mom has already told you most of the news.  We enjoyed our sacrament meeting today. Short and sweet. The last two weeks we have been asked to pick up a former branch member who now lives about 25 miles south of us and then we have to go another 15 miles north to get to the branch. He hopes to move back into the branch again soon. And he is such a polite man - all "yes sir" and "no ma'am." We thought he might be in his 70's but when finding out about his family he is in his mid 50's. We could be his parents! DevinKim and family  minus Jace. Chickens, diapers, food... We went to Colleen's cousin Norma's annual Christmas dinner last night and the senior missionaries are having a potluck Christmas dinner tomorrow afternoon. I think that will be it for Christmas dinners this year. Thank heavens.  Tuesday, Shawna and Slava an

This might even be shorter than mom's letter. We are both tired after a short night and a long day. I keep thinking each daylight savings change that it might be my last one. I've been hoping for such for many years. Just watch. The politicians will get their act together just after I die and fix things. But until then, I'll keep hoping. We taught Sister Silva the first temple prep lesson before church this morning. Her husband, who received his endowment a few months ago, sat in with us. Sister Silva sat in on his lessons so most of this will be a review for her. Both have had a hard life but are progressing well in the Church. Minus the Sisters Saturday evening we were to have all six missionaries from the Branch over for dinner. In the afternoon, Elder Healy called and said we had a problem. The Sisters from our Branch had called and said their car was stolen. They were asked if it could have been towed. "Oh,no. We were parked in our assigned parking place." Th

Just a few words and a couple of pictures. Elder Healy has been so busy with new vehicles that we haven't had much time to spend with him learning Lots of money on the lot. finances. We plan to hit it hard this week. He's gotten lots of new vehicles in but not many licenses plates so they are piling up on the lot. He has 34 of them down there at this time. Ten are ready to sale but he doesn't know when they will be picked up. The rest are new vehicles but no license plates and he won't send them out until he gets the plates. There is not much room for more cars, so he is going to tell the dealers they'll have to keep them until he gets room to store them. Hopefully, plates will start showing up soon. Sis. Dennison and Sisters This evening we had dinner at the Dennison's. They been here about three months. A couple of Sister missionaries ended up having dinner with us. It was a fun time as they wanted to hear about our other missions. Mom and I decided we have lo
