Bob: Relaxing Saturday even though we were out looking for an apartment for the Backus'. Found one that we have put an offer on. The offer is good till 7 pm tomorrow. We'll see how they respond.
After apartment hunting we went to lunch right across the street at 'The Pickle Barrel'. It should not be confused with the 'Cracker Barrel'. We looked it up on the internet and it said 'Great food, slow service'. They got it 100% correct. Took forever for our order to come, but it was good. Besides the Backus' and us, the Ericksons joined us.
After lunch Bonnie and I went with the Backus' to help them move into the apartment they will be staying in for a few days. It is nice enough, but the stairs going down to it are narrow and steep. I told him we would get the Elders to help carry everything up and out when they move. He agreed that it would be a good idea. Then they went to the grocery store to buy a few things to tide them over.
We have to go to church early tomorrow as there is a baptism at 10 am. I get to give the talk on the Holy Ghost. Why is it that when we get these opportunities we can never use the same talk we used previously? We feel a need to say something different. Anyway, I think I'm satisfied with what I have written down. We'll see how it goes.
Hope everyone enjoys the Super Bowl tomorrow. I will be surprised if it is close. Carolina looks too good to me.
Love to all, and good night brothers.
Dad/Bob
Bonnie: It has been a good day, except for the cold, cold wind that enveloped us as we walked from apartment to apartment. There were two in buildings very close together. I enjoyed it, though. It will be great to have the Backus' with us at some of our activities. Being from Arizona I think they need some good winter coats to get them through. The Church suggests that missionaries wait till they arrive here to get coats.
As Bob has written, it will be an early day tomorrow. One of the YSAs we are picking up lives quite far away. We will be on the road by 9:00 am which is not our usual time on a Sunday morning! I'm glad we can support the baptisms as they happen. These YSAs seem to have very strong testimonies despite difficult obstacles. I'm sure it will be an inspiring testimony meeting tomorrow. May we all enjoy our Sabbath Day, as we bear testimony of our Savior in word and deed!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
