Dear children and grandchildren,
We went into a state of shock, somewhat, because we had
not arranged for an apartment in the area that the Espliins were being
assigned to in Berbice. We picked them up and took care of the
necessary paperwork they needed to do for immigration, but didn't get to
Berbice until Tuesday evening. Fortunately the Carters apartment had
two bedrooms and bathrooms, so the Esplins stayed there with the Carters
that evening. Elder Beutler and I stayed in a hotel so that we could
help the Esplins find an apartment on Wednesday.
We spent the whole day with them and a couple of
members looking for a place for them to rent. There wasn't much of
anything that would work for them, but they sent us on our way and they
said that they could look on their own from there on. I sure was
concerned about leaving them like that and now here it is Sunday and
they still aren't sure about where they are going to live, but they do
have a few possibilities that might work.
We spent Thursday and Friday doing our office work
and Dad spent much of Saturday doing service projects and having an
Aaronic Priesthood training meeting with the members here. Then today
we attended the Garden Park Branch because the branch president wanted
us to offer to teach piano in his branch, like we have in the Georgetown
branch. He announced that we would be teaching and if they were
interested to let us know. Lo and behold, we had fifteen people sign up
for the class. We have been teaching five or six from Georgetown and
that takes a couple of hours. I don't know how we can teach 15 in one
night, but we will do what we can.
That about sums up our week. We hope that all is
well with you. Happy Valentines day to all of you and Happy 22nd
Birthday to Amy, this week. Deborah, Jared, Jacob, and Aaron, we would
love to skype you more often, but you haven't been on line much lately.
Let us know what is happening with you all. Stay healthy and enjoy an
early spring! Esther said that the ground hog did not see his shadow
this year!
We love you all. Mom and Dad
