Another week has flown by and I have worked
on two more leases. One is finished and
the other could be finished by tomorrow or sometime this week I hope. I have closed one flat and am in the middle
of closing two others. I may be looking
for one other flat this week.
We have not sent anyone home with a broken
bone since the 30 of October.
Tuesday we had a Halloween party for the
missionaries serving here in the area.
That was 20 of us and some had never carved a pumpkin and so it was lots
of fun. We also served them lunch of
potato soup and chilli, rolls, and pies.
I made seven pies. We had
pumpkin, banana cream, coconut cream, chocolate, apple, and pecan. My oven wanted to burn them and so some of
them were on the dark side but they still ate them.
Tuesday night we had our Halloween Party at
the branch and Elder Rasmussen and I were in charge of the pumpkin carving
there also and also judging the jack o lanterns. It was a fun night but also a late one.
Thursday we had a couple stay with us. Elder Hick’s mother died and they were going
home to the funeral on Friday morning.
They are from Springville. They
volunteered to take a box back with them and Julie picked it up at the
airport. It means one less box to bring
home when we come. Thanks Julie for the
late night to pick it up for us. Elder Rasmussen took them to the airport early
Friday morning.
We
also took part in a conference call for the leaders in our stake working with
the youth in Sunday School, Young Men/Women regarding the new program. Elder Rasmussen and I are working with the
ones in our branch for four Sundays to learn about how the new program will
work. I should actually say Elder
Rasmussen is as I mostly sit and learn also.
Friday night we went to the Hambeltons for
dinner. We also shared with them what we
do in the office to see if that is what they would like to try for in there
next mission. And we played a game of Rummikub. It was a fun evening.
Saturday we went with the Sisters and the
McKenzies to the Royal Mile. We got to
see the parade they were having with the soldiers that were just returning home
from Afghanistan . Then we went and saw
Holyrood Palace which is where the Royal Family stay when they come to
Edinburgh. The queen usually comes the
last of June-1st part of July for a week. We ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant and it
was good. We found a nativity set just a
few doors up from there that looks kind of Celtic and so we will be bringing
home one more nativity to add to our collection. It is already up for Christmas in our flat.
Sunday we had our meetings in Falkirk of
which Sunday School and Young Men/Women time was spent with the leaders
discussing the new program. Then we had
six over for Family Home Evening, dinner, activity, and visiting. So I am writing the letter today at work
while waiting for my lease to get back to me.
We are healthy, happy, and busy. What more would you ask for. Hope you all had a great week also. We love you so much. We love hearing from you
and enjoy the pictures. Have a great week.
