Bob: Left JoAnne and Niels home about 8:54 this morning and arrived at Misty and Dan's at 4:10. That included 2 rest stops and a stop for gas. Followed the GPS and went north on I-85 to route 29 and then continued north. Looking back I think we would have been much better off to have back -tracked to Charlotte and taken I-77 north. Probably a few more miles but less time. We'll know better the next time.
Spent a relaxing evening after a wonderful stir fry dinner prepared by Misty. For family scriptures Dan read 2 stories from the New Testament. One was about Jesus feeding the multitude with only 2 fishes and 5 loaves of bread. The other one was about Jesus walking on the water and Peter not having the faith to do the same. The kids were very attentive and responded to questions about what the verses meant.
Received an email from the Mission President's wife. Looks like we'll be staying in the Mission Home Monday night before going to an apartment on Tuesday. We don't get our final apartment until the following Monday. Just hope the 2 apartments are in the same complex so we can unload most of our things and get the computer set up. Bonnie and I are both tired of traveling and living out of a suitcase. The car is so packed we can hardly move in it. Both of us have items in the floor by our feet plus things protruding from the back in between our seats in front.
Bonnie: How I love grand-kids! Katie will be sharing her patriarchal blessing with us Friday or Saturday and that will be special. After giving Michael a hug goodnight he said in a happy voice, "Best friends forever!" I love it. Sarah took us out to the chicken coop to show us one of the chickens that had been attacked by a fox. She knelt down and the chicken came right up to her and practically jumped into her arms. Ammon showed us some trailers for the new Star Wars movie coming out this fall. He's excited about that. Serenity looks so cute in her tiny, little glasses as we read a story book tonight. I have special memories of Gwyn, Allie Jane and Jackson too. Gwyn has finally warmed up to me and calls me Nana. It was fun building castles with Allie Jane, such a girlie girl with pretty bows in her hair. And Jackson plays a great game of Mexican Train. He won the first hand we played! Dallin is a little taller than his brother who is four years older. He seems like a gentle giant to me. He even let his Pap Pap beat him in chess. It was great to talk to Cooper. He seems to be maturing very well. He graduates in another year. They are both very good young men. We'll publish pictures of the grand-kids once we collect all of them.
