Bonnie: It's been a glorious Sabbath Day today. I love the testimonies of the YSAs. One thought I remember from sacrament meeting was the comment that we should have an intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father. I don't know about you, but this is something I want to work on.
There were lots of visits for the Bishop today. It's hard to communicate with my two assistant executive secretaries and the Bishop when changes occur. Today was very crazy that way. Oh, well.
We ended the day with a meeting about our trip to see all of the "underground railroad" sites. The senior couples met at the Youngberg's apartment to talk about our plans. I am so excited to do this. I plan on reading several books about this period of history. We ended our discussion with lemon meringue pie. What could beat that?
Well, we started this late, again, so I will close and let Bob finish up.
Love, Mom/Bonnie
Bob: Coconut cream might be better, but what we had was great!
Weather cooled off a little bit today. It rained and that seemed to cool things off. I talked to Karl up in Elk Lake. He had a fire built in his wood burner to take the chill off the house.
Today just as the 1st Counselor was getting ready to start bearing his testimony the Bishop stood up and said he had to take care of something. He asked for all those in the congregation that like to sing to please stand up. He asked them more than once and even called on several individuals by name and some of the missionary couples (we were not included for obvious reasons) to stand up. Eventually he had a large number of them standing up. He then proceeded to tell them they were now 'appointed to be the ward choir' for Ward Conference in 3 weeks. There would be no practice, and only one of the simple hymns to sing! After testimonies Sister Padron announced the hymn would be number 97, "Lead, Kindly Light". I think the YSA enjoyed being 'drafted' for the choir.
Well it's late and time for bed. Love to all and good night brothers.
Dad/Bob
