I guess I better send an update. We have been so busy it seems like every day and evening and weekend are full. Sometimes feels like we are on vacation instead of a mission. We have not had a social life like we have here, since we moved to Utah. Guess because none of us have any family to do things with we rely on each other for that interaction. A great bunch of people. Sisters Redd and Ensign are going home the middle of April. Will miss them they are lots of fun. Have two new sisters. Sisters Moore from Loa and Gibbs from Hawaii. Two weekends ago we went to Warthers Museum in Dover, to an Amish restuarant for lunch, to a cheese factory and to Lehmans Hardware. What beautiful countryside. I can't wait until spring and everything greens up. There are just rolling hill after rolling hill and lots of Amish buggies over every rise. We kept seeing these little outhouse looking buildings and thought maybe that's what they were but when we went to Lehmans there was a bulletin board with all sorts of models you could order and they were phone booths. They can't have a phone in their homes but they can outside and away from the house. Monday is always washday. Quite the site to see. This weekend we are going to finish up our wood projects for the archives. Our plans change often here. The Senior sisters called this morning wanting to know if we wanted to go to the Imax and the Natural History museum with them this afternoon.So wee will clean apartment do laundry, and get the wood projects stained and varnished and then meet them at noon. We went to Sokalowski's a Polish restaurant today for an early dinner after all our excursions. Had a fun day. Tomorrow after fast Sunday we wre having everyone over for Mexican food. We have the biggest table and most chairs and dishes. So they all come here.
We will start a split shift on this coming Monday. We will go in at 10:00 am instead of 7:00 and will work until 6:00 pm instead of 3:00 pm. Hope to get more imaging done so we cane get caught up some. We have 98 boxes ready to be immaged and Elder Mcguire only can get two- three done a week. There are about 3,000 images per box.So with dad imaging for three hours it may help.
We are having all the senior missionaries over for Easter Dinner. I will fix ham, cheese potatoes and fresh strawberry pies and they will all furnish the rest.
We are going to the Family History Center tonight. I have been asked to do their bulletin board and display case. So that will be fun. Thanks to Heidi sending me care packages I can have some neat things. They have a Michaels here but I have never liked them very much. We work at the FHC every Thursday. President Peterson got us special permission to get on to the NEW Family Search. So now we can proceed on adding names to our family lines. Going to take a long time as not much there. At least that we can see. Lots of things that need to be corrected, too.
We went to the Columbus temple with the senior couples serving in Daytona nd Akron. Was a great day. We got to be the witnesses. Went out to lunch and had a meeting discussing our work and projects. We get to do this every month.
The Stake President told us we are going to be asked to work with some less active families in our ward. That will hopefully be a special experience for us and them.
We love all of you and you are in our prayers daily.
