Another Transfer Under Our Belts

The transfers went fine other than it is a lot of extra work.  Our work is not all physical, but at the end of the day, we are beat and done with the day.  Too much excitement and busyness.  Having 17 new missionaries swarming around you for the whole afternoon takes its toll on me.  But, all the forms I produce with their special formulas and codes worked the first try.     "Yea Team!!!"

We didn't get out of the office until 700pm on Tuesday, and we were more than ready for some peace and quiet,

I took one of the foreign elders and his companion to Deseret Industries on Friday.  He had torn his last pair of pants, and so we went shopping.  He is one of the elders we keep an eye on and help out.  He will be going home at the next transfer on October 11th and we want him to look good when he arrives home.  He still represents the Lord.  He found a nice looking suit, and got a pair of dress slacks and 2 ties for $21.50.  (Not a bad place to shop).

Today is Labor Day, and so the office is closed.  It is nice to just hang out and get some errands done.  We have 4 birthdays coming up with Tillie's tomorrow, Camille's next week, and Madeline and David the week after (they kind of snuck up on us).

Mom, in her letter, said we found a couple of lamps at IKEA.  Here are the pictures of them.  One is a Table model and the other is a Floor model.

I keep resisting the urge to buy other furnishings knowing that we not only will have to have room to haul it home, but also will have to find a place for it in our house in Cathlamet.

This week we will be getting ready for a Mission Tour by Elder Kearon of the 1st Quorem of the 70.  He is in our Area Presidency and will be meeting with all the missionaries on this coming Monday and Tuesday.  We will have a "Half Mission" Conference for the Northern half, and then another one for the Southern half.  We are in the Southern half and will be part of it next week Tuesday.  Lily has met him before, and he is a very nice man.  He is from England.

Well, have a great week, everybody.  Thank you for your prayers, and love and support.
