After the vision project, I expected a
somewhat normal week, but no, that did not happen. We did our office
work all day on Monday, and half of Tuesday, then went to Lindon (1 1/2
hours drive) to help the missionaries teach Brother Featherstone on
Tuesday afternoon, then back to Georgetown for piano lessons. Then on
Wednesday at 4;30 AM we headed to Surname with three elders to renew
their visas. That was a long, long day. Then on Thursday and Friday we
played catch-up at the office. Friday evening, we helped the Beechers
direct a play practice with the young single adults in our district for
three hours. Finally on Saturday, we went to a baptism and then back to
Lindon to teach Brother Featherstone again. Needless to say, we are
exhausted.
This coming week is transfer week, so it will be
busy again. I don't know why, but the elders are leaving on three
different days this time, instead of the usual Wednesday with everyone.
I usually plan some kind of a meal for them and I don't know exactly
how to work it this time. On Monday, atleast, we will be taking the two
elders at noon so we will just pick up some food for them on the way to
the airport.
We wondered if Jacob had made his decision for sure
to take the job on Salt Lake City. We are so excited that they will be
close. It will be a challenging time to find a place to live that will
work for them.
One thing I did not mention was that we met three
men from mainland China who attended church with us today. They also
have a cousin, a young woman here who wants to listen to the
missionaries, so they are going to start taking the lessons on Tuesday.
They are really nice people, but they struggle with the language
somewhat. The young woman speaks the best English and interprets for
them.
Well, I don't have much else to tell you, except
that we love all of you and pray for your success in all of your
endeavors. Love, Mom and Dad
