Bonnie:  We've had a good Sabbath. We picked up three YSAs today. They live relatively close to each other so that helped. I helped serve the Munch and Mingle dinner today, as usual. We had a small group because several of them went to Montreal for the Temple open house. That meant that they could have two servings of rice instead of one. There was plenty of food. Next Sunday is the Montreal Temple dedication, so there will not be any food served. The dedication should be a wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to it.
Tomorrow the mission is hosting a general authority for the week. He's coming to tour the mission. There will be three Zone Conferences and MLC on Friday. We'll get to meet him personally Tuesday evening because Erickson's and us have been invited to dinner at the Mission Home by Clayton's. It should be a great week. I just hope that the deliveries come tomorrow so I can go to Tuesday's Zone Conference. I have two big orders coming from Salt Lake City and someone has to be here to accept them.
It's been unseasonably warm today. At least that's what everyone says. I love it. I haven't had to wear my heavy, extra warm stuff. May we be warm this coming week is my wish for us all!
Love,
Mom/Bonnie

Bob: Church was good today, but there were several YSAs not there for some reason. Munch 'n Mingle was sparsely populated. Plenty for seconds and more if you wanted it. We took 3 YSAs to church with us. Luckily, they all lived within a couple miles of each other. Usually they are spread all over the place.
Brad left around 8:30 this morning. He was going to go to Barrie and stop for church up there. It is just about an hour away and church starts at 10 so he shouldn't have had any problems. He wants us to come up sometime during the last half of February and go ice fishing with him. I may take him up on it so we can say 'been there, done that'. Still seems like a bad idea though.
Been a relaxing evening here. We talked to Lorraine, Joey, Shannon (Christian), and Lori. Trying to reach Sandy, who is our upstairs renter. We think she is moving out though.
Got a scanner hooked up tonight. This should keep me from having to run to the Mission Office to scan apartment applications on the weekends. It would be even better if I never have anymore weekend applications!!
This week will be taxing. Have to miss most of Tuesday because of Zone Conference. Going to be loading some furniture to send to Windsor, which is just across the Canadian border from Detroit! The Z/L will take the truck and furniture back with them on Friday and then bring it back here on the 25th. Saves me from driving to Detroit. I am all for that.
Weather was really nice today. Don't know why we were so blessed, but it surely was nice. Next 5 days are from 47 to 55.
Better call it a night. Love to all and good night brother.
