February 2, 2016

Bonnie:  Today we got all of the supply orders put together. Tomorrow, we will put it all out in the foyer on the tables, and also put out all the mail, packages, birthday treats, ESL supplies, and the shoe polish that was so lovingly donated to the missionaries. The big change tomorrow is that we are making breakfast for about 45, including the President and the office couples, and all of the Zone Leaders, the APs and the Sister Training Leaders. I will be leaving tomorrow about 7:10 am so we can get it all together to serve breakfast by 7:45. It's mostly set up now, but we want to start making the waffles about 7:30 and keep them warm in the oven. The other big thing is that I will have to speak for about 5 minutes tomorrow to everybody about "teaching people not lessons". Luckily I can share an experience of John Pontius' in his book "Journey to the Veil". How do I get myself into these things? Oh well!
I'm off to bed, Everyone sleep tight tonight!
Love, Mom/Bonnie

Bob: Typical busy day at the office. Took time to take our pick up and trailer to the dealer because when Bonnie followed me the other night one of the tail lights on the trailer didn't work. Of course today there was nothing wrong with it once I drove about 10 miles to get to the shop. The mechanic couldn't get it to flicker at all. Hope it continues to work.
Went to Institute without Bonnie as she was trying to get to bed early and be well rested for tomorrow morning. Class was good and I was in the parking garage before 9:45. I didn't take time though to wash the car as it was raining.
When we came out of church tonight it was freezing rain. The parking lot is on a slight slope and it was very slick trying to cross the driveway to the car. With all the traffic on the roads though there wasn't an issue driving home.
Heard a good story the other day. One time Mahatma Gandhi was asked by a reporter, "What do you think of western civilization?" He answered, "I think it would be a good idea." --Don't know if it is a true story, but it is a good point.
Everyone have a great day tomorrow. May it be your best yet. Love to all and good night brothers.
Dad/Bob
