Week #62

Tade and Savannah
Nothing too exciting this week except a visit with Tade and Savannah. Mom and I both had colds so we kind of dragged all week. Yesterday I felt pretty good but today, not so good. I'm past the sore throat stage and into the coughing and achy stage. Friday, I had the hiccups all day and they quit just before bed time. I then woke up at midnight hiccuping again. I've never done that before. I got up and took a spoonful of sugar and they quit. That used to be my remedy when I was young and it still works.

With the miracle of GPS we were able to meet up with Tade and Savannah (Mesha/Aaron's son and his wife). We got to the restaurant about five minutes or so before them. We had a nice lunch with them and wish them luck on their move to Virginia and their new adventure. Hope they don't hit too much bad weather. We forgot to take a picture so a selfie of them will have to do.

Speaking of bad weather, we are under an alert for a severe storm advisory for Monday night and Tuesday with up five inches of snow and winds as high as 45 mph. Not too bad except for the wind. It sounds like a good night to stay in. I'm glad we got the missionary transfers/departures/arrivals done this past week. Ten missionaries left the mission (one a visa waiter) and nine arrived so that was pretty much a wash.

The annual audit is coming up soon. It needs to be done by the end of February. I've already started to prepare and have found a couple of things I was supposed to be doing but wasn't. 😬 Overall, I think things are in pretty good shape.

I was surprised by the lack of fireworks on New Year's Eve. I went to bed about 11:00 and woke up at 12:15 with a few fireworks going off in the distance. Nothing that kept me awake. We slept in until 8:30 which was nice and, may I add, well deserved. 

Sorry, not much in pictures this week.

Preach unto them repentance, and faith on the Lord
Jesus Christ; teach them to humble themselves and to be meek and lowly in heart; teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.   Alma 37:33

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
