It has been raining here all week, truly an answer to people’s prayers! The area is indeed in need of more moisture and the rain this last week will help the overall water situation.
We continue to be busy in the Library, with all the usual things. We are having more and more foreigner’s visit the Library, which makes communications difficult at times. We are quickly heading into the combining of the US/ Canada and hosting Zone. Actually just a part of the US/Canada zone will be transferred over to our zone. This will increase my job working on the schedule, oh well things have to get done!
Sharon has been practicing two or three times a week on the organ and is getting better. Her first Sunday as organist didn’t go very well, but she is trying to get back into the swing of things. It is amazing how rusty you get on things like that, when you aren’t using your talents.
Elder and Sister Richins final got their VISA’s to Australia and left for Brisbane. They arrived safely and are already in the saddle so to speak. We have received a new couple in the Zone; Elder and Sister Sorensen from Nampa Idaho, they are sorely needed and will be a great help.
I had to give the spiritual thought the other day and was telling a story about my Father; afterwards Sister Montague wanted to know more about him, so I shared a lot of his stories. Later I heard her talking to another missionary and she mentioned 29 Palms, California. So I asked her about that, and she said she and her husband were stationed there in the early 70’s. I told her that my father and mother were there at that time and she then put 2 and 2 together and realized that her husband and my father served in the bishopric together. She remembered mom and her cactus pear jelly and also remembered many of the other folks, small world!
Well that is about it for this week. Love to all!
