Monday

Last Monday afternoon we went to Sis. Gibson's with the missionaries. She is the from Denmark whose husband had a building named after him at SUU. She also went through all the training and has a room full of Montessori supplies - all to keep her learning up. She had 100 acres up in the hills. She has a beautiful home and she is so gracious, down to earth, and so valiant in the gospel person. We helped her take down her Christmas decorations and we had dinner with her that night. We had dinner with Judy, John (we hadn't met him yet-he's not a member) and their 2 daughters, one of which is doing an internship at the Church History Library. It was wonderful. Judy and John both attended USU and it was great to get to know him.

This is a copy of the picture of the painting that hangs at SUU,

painted by the BRANDON SANDERSON - I didn't know he painted.

Tuesday

We are so busy we don't have a certain P-Day. We just do laundry and cleaning when we get a chance. Here's Dad!

Last night with the Elder's at the Vulcano's home (our investigators). They wanted a picture so I got one of the Elder Cleveland and Elder Brailsford.

Wednesday

Most of the day was spent in transfers. Here we are at the mission home at a church house.

There was plenty of pizza and salad to feed all those Elders & Sisters! We got 2 new Elders. We dropped them off and went straight to the Fuchs home (ham radio operator) about 20 min. away. Had a wonderful time with them. We were very tired by the time we got home that night.

7 missionaries went home and 12 came. I missed the pictures of the new missionaries, but I got a picture of the sign they held!

We have not been in a home where there is not at least one dog. So many of them remind us of Maddie, so this picture if for Tom's family.

We just don't take many pictures of what we do, but read the letter to see what we did. There is a cool '3 Nephite' story in it.

This is Dad this morning at the library. Our connection with you all at home!

I love you all. I have been reading King Benjamin's address.

Chapter 4 of Mosiah starting with verse 6-7. Then he repeats it just in case we missed the point, in verses 9-10.  That whole page. He says what we need to do and then what happens if we do it, and how we change. 

It was incredible. (Sorry, my scriptures are in the car.)

There is a FHE for tonight!

Love you all so much!
