Bob: Below are two pictures I forgot to post last night. One time in Brampton, a Brother Lawrence Fuller mentioned he had a 'cottage' up north. This is it. He built it so that all 12 of his children and all of the grandchildren could come at one time. The other picture is the entrance gate to it. You can't make it out from the first picture, but the orange thing under the balcony is a huge tractor with a snow blower on it. I was told the foundation alone cost him $120,000. This place is first class with both hydro and running water. The lake is right behind his cottage. The Fullers are all very active church members and have many friends and family come as guests to their cottage. They are generous and very kind. Lawrence, the Patriarch, was an Assistant to the Twelve. In fact, he was Boyd K. Packer's assistant. He has many stories to share about Brother Packer. I was in only one class that Brother Fuller taught (he was the High Priest Group Leader), but he had a story about Elder Packer. It would be fun to stay at the cottage and fish the lake it is on. It's about 2 miles off the highway and I don't think there is an easy access to the lake. Thus the lake isn't fished much.
Bonnie has summed up the day's activities, so I am closing for now. Not sure when we will be able to update the blog. Until then, God bless everyone. My love to each of you and good night brothers.

Bonnie: Today we took Roxanne shopping. It went well. I did a bit of shopping, too, because of our trip south tomorrow. We will be at the Mission Home tomorrow and Friday night to be part of the Zone Conference with Elder Arnold and his wife. We will be eating out with some of the other senior couples tomorrow night, and that will be great fun. We would normally go home right after the conference but Friday night traffic going north will be congested and slow. That means an early departure Saturday morning. We hope to take in a visit to the temple Friday night as well.
Tonight we had our Activity Night. It was quite enjoyable, although very small in numbers. We start next week having it on Tuesday night instead, which will allow for more people to come. We have great hopes that this will really take off. I think it will be a wonderful thing for the Branch.
May tomorrow bring us all blessings!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
