I am having a hard time getting
started today. I have been reading my
email and all the comments about the Grays Lake Reunion and am feeling
homesick. Then talked with Julie
yesterday and told her Braydon’s grandparents are leaving for home the 5th
of Sept. and are already to go. She
asked if I was ready and I told her I better not be or it would be a long year
to go. I definitely miss everyone and
all the things that are going on. I
would like to be there for them. I am
busy enough though that for the majority of the time I don’t think about it.
We had a catch up week last week
finishing jobs that you don’t have time for all the time. Now this week will be
departing, arriving, transfer week and we will put in some long days
again. It is fun to see those going home
greet long time no see friends from the mission field that have served in
different areas. Then some parents come
and it is fun to see their reunion with their son or daughter. We will have more this time since we have
several from England going home.
We had a fun time with the sisters
Friday night after the mirror collision on our way home. Elder Rasmussen had walked home and so we let
Sister Vance drive the car since she wants to drive and they don’t have a car
and I prefer not driving. She has only
driven a couple of times before and she still likes to hug the left hand
side. She almost hit a mirror before,
but this time she did. It was sure
scary. I am jumpy now riding in the car
again. We are all ok and the owner of the
other car was real nice. He didn’t want
to call the police or get insurance involved as the cost would increase.
After we arrived home, they helped
me cook a Mexican dinner and then we ate and played Canasta.
We went touring with them on Saturday to the
North. Our first stop was Dumferline to visit the Charity shops. Both Sisters were anxious to buy a kilt to make a scrapbook. They were both successful. While we were there they were having a festival, so we'll share with you part of the "parade".
Our next stop was the House of Dun which is in the northeast corner of Scotland. The home was very nice. On the outside were some trees that were over a hundred years old and very stately. They reminded us of the redwoods in California.
The House itself was very nice, a "small" country home.
We really enjoyed the gardens. We were especially impressed with the fruit trees that grew on the side of the wall.
On Sunday we enjoyed at Falkrik and then after dinner today we went to the
National Botanical Gardens to walk around and enjoy the beauty and relax.
Glad to hear of the mission call
to Albania Corryne. We are excited for
you.
Glad we have our internet service
and have Skype. We have been able to
catch a few of you on line.
Have a great weekend next
week. Say hello to everyone for me at
the reunion and they have to plan another one after I get home to go.
Glad to hear another school year
has or is starting for you and hope it is a great one.
We love you.
Elder and Sister Rasmussen
