Week #63

Monday morning
 One of these days I will write my letter first and then mom will have to figure out what to say after I've already written.

We have been getting weather here. Monday we ended up with 5 or 6 inches on the car with heavy wet snow. It took awhile to get it all off and ready to get to the office. Wednesday, it was getting Sister Hunsaker to the airport at 4:30 in the morning. She was heading back to Idaho to attend her older brother's funeral. The worst part of getting her to the airport was that I had to drive in the dark. I was glad to get back to our apartment and we didn't hurry to get to the office that morning. Thursday, we left the office about 1:30 to pick her up. The forecast was for snow but it wasn't too bad. The roads were only a problem around the airport itself. I keep thinking that we are done with trips to the airport but something seems to always come up. It takes about 30 for us to get there.
I was glad that the baptism was called off. Three were supposed to get baptised but two were sick and one was in an auto accident. We didn't want to go as it was too dang cold. Later on Saturday afternoon, we received a message from the stake saying all sacrament meetings were suggested to be canceled. I woke up Sunday morning not feeling well so was glad church had been canceled. Sunday was also the day that newspapers were saying to stay at home if possible. I can't believe that
Sunday morning

anyone would want to attend the Chiefs' game at 7:00 Saturday night. Apparently, it was the fourth coldest NFL game on record. Crazy people.
This morning the low hit -11 degrees plus a wind chill. I just got back in from starting up the car and letting it warm up awhile.
We also spent a few minutes today messaging with Elder Kashapov from our Russian mission. He and his family are living in Ireland for the time being. He works for Merc. He ranks up there as one of the best missionaries we have worked with.


And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.  Helaman 5:11

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
