Bonnie: We've had a great Sabbath Day, although it was hard for Bob to carry the crockpot into the church because it was so full! I made 1/2 more of the recipe to be sure I had enough for the pot luck. I had plenty left over so I will serve it to the missionaries this week. One sister brought a huge roast beef dinner, complete with potatoes and carrots, and another sister brought a large ham, enough to feed all of us. Then, there were other side dishes, drinks, fresh vegetables and desserts. Bob made his specialty macaroni salad, too. One sister had been berry-picking and gave us two sandwich bags of blueberries!! They are worth gold these days. And someone else brought tomatoes from their garden. After the pot luck we met with President Jakob for a few minutes, and also some of the missionaries. There will be a Branch Council after Elder Ballard's broadcast next Sunday. One of the things to be discussed will be starting a FHE group, one in Haileybury and one in Kirkland Lake, open to members and friends and anyone who would like to come. The challenge is that someone from the Branch needs to be in charge of it, so it will continue with or without missionaries. We will probably show a video, share some scriptures, have snacks and then some games.
After we got home, our friend Brad called to ask if we would like to go home teaching with him. So, we got on our Sunday clothes again and spent the evening going to two places--two sisters we hadn't met yet and someone we've been to see many times--Sister Craig. They were good visits.
We will have a fairly busy week, but I will let Bob write about that.
May we all have a wonderful week ahead.
Love, Mom/Bonnie
Bob: Bonnie about covered everything that happened today. Planning on several things this week including a trip to Rouyn on Thursday. Will let you know how things unfold.
Weather warmed up again today and it was very pleasant.
Our friend Brad is remodeling his bathroom so I will be trying to help him some evenings when we don't have anything else going.
That's about it for now. Hope you had a great weekend. Love to all and good night brothers.
Dad/Bob
