So, I gave Sis. Campbell (one of the Office Senior Couples) your email address so she can send you her blog. You should look on it. She says she's put pics and such about Sis. Homer and I on it. We both love Elder and Sister Campbell! They are amazing!!
Also, I am awful at finances w/o my laptop! Is it possible to have my bank statement mailed to my apt here in Florida? One: I can know how much I have, and two: I'll be able to get a library card! Libraries in Florida are picky! Oh, and I hope I haven't overdrawn! I had to use my debit card to rent a car last week. I had no idea how much was on it, but it seemed to have gone through ... Sorry I'm so poor right now :-(
Oh, have you been following Sis. L's blog? I think it's on the mission blog site? I don't know. But the members have been keeping us updated about sickness in the MTC. Poor Sister! I thought you'd enjoy following a few more blogs :-D
Also, I forgot to tell you two weeks ago, but Pres. and Sis. Darrington will be speaking in a fireside in Pleasant Grove Utah on Sunday, the 11th of July. It's at 1541 N. 1300 W. at 6pm. They are also speaking in Idaho and Washington. Tomorrow, they will be flying home to Washington. Today, is when Pres. and Sis. Hall are arriving in the mission home.
Well, this week has been a lot of fun! We put our car into the dealership for fixing (it's the "Lemon" of the Fleet, so we had many interesting issues! It had nothing to do with the accident.) The dealership wanted it for a few days, so they gave us a rental to drive til it was completed. From Tuesday to Today, we were driving a Black 2010 Chevy HHR. We named her Olive :-D (The licence plate is OLR and it felt weird to call the car Oliver when that's an old investigator's name. Plus, she looks like an Olive) So, we are enjoying our rental car and using the miles while we can. But it will be nice to have Kax back (our 2008 Chevy Malibu, licence plate KAX). As you can see, when we are stuck driving everywhere, we find things to do in our car. First, we memorized all the symbols for the car makes. We can quickly call out the makes of most, if not all cars. With that complete, we now name all the cars that pass us by. It's starting to get tiring, so it's time for a new car game. This week, we've been driving everywhere! We decide to work in one area and then we get a call that we have a great potential on the opposite side of where we work. We're still under our allotted milage, but this past week is the most we have ever driven this month! But we've made a lot of contacts and are better organizing our area. All is going well!
Well, we are keeping busy here! The work continues forth! Everything isn't organized quite yet, but we are seeing the pieces coming together. It's really interesting to see the progress of the the Stakes. They are both very unique in their approach to the ASL program and in many ways, exactly opposite in how things are run. We are always busy trying to figure things out. Throwing in the meal calendars made it a bit difficult because of miles, but we're working with that too. Never a dull moment in the ASL Program!
Lots of Love! I've run out of ideas of what to say, so... 'til next week!
‘Make no small plans: They have no magic to stir man’s souls.’ This is the vision I have for the South. I believe that one day the South will baptize more people into the church than all other English speaking missions in the world together. There are great hosts of marvelous Baptists, and members of the church of Christ, Methodists and Catholics who are honorable people, and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and love him. As they see their church veering off to the right or to the left of these basic teachings, they will begin to search for the truth. And as pivotal teachers come into the church and have influence, we will see the time when we baptize hundreds and thousands, tens of thousands. In your day you will see a million members of the church in the South. There will be Temples plural in the Southern States. What a great call you have to serve with these marvelous people. ~Spencer W Kimball (1974)
