Bob: This has been an interesting day. I went to the bank to withdraw some money so I could put it in our American account and pay for the furniture purchased for missionaries in Val d'Or. She initially said she didn't have that much American money and would have to order it. But ordering it and receiving it only takes about 30 minutes, so I would be able to get it. I signed all the papers and left the bank without the money. She said to stop back in about 30 minutes or so and present the receipt to whoever was working the teller station. Thankfully it was the same lady.
We visited Cathy Mason, a non-member, at Wendy's. The court hearing she is involved with was scheduled yesterday, but when they got there the hearing was cancelled because they couldn't get a policeman to attend. Now she has to sit and stew about this for another month. We don't really know exactly what is going on, but hopefully there can be some resolution soon.
We also visited for a few minutes with Margaret Villneff. Bonnie took her a small ornament from the Relief Society, the VT message and a card from us. I wanted to see their Christmas tree as Norm painted a vivid picture of how nice it would be. Well, their cat upset the tree yesterday and it hadn't been put back together yet.
Then Brother Cambridge and I went to Sister Park's to fix the shower rod. It took us about 2 hours. He had to cut the rod that extends down from the ceiling and tap the hole for the set screw, but we finally got it to hang alright.
The last thing today was the Activity Night. Only the Cambridge's and the missionaries were there so we talked about some service we could do as a Branch around Christmas. When we ended Bonnie and Sister Cambridge went to the church for a conference call with President Ng of the the Relief Society Presidency.
Bonnie just got home. I'm closing and hitting the sack. Want to swim in the morning and I think there will be some snow to shovel before we leave.
Hope you have had a great day. Love to all and good night brothers.
Dad/Bob
Bonnie: It's been a good day. The potential investigator at Wendy's said she was grateful to have us praying for her, that she felt our strength. She told us previously that she was reading a little of the Book of Mormon I had given her! There is great hope here.
Activity Night was nice because we had a great discussion about singing carols before Christmas to two nursing homes in town. We may ask Sister Wiwchar to play her harp. It may actually come together. Then, Ev and I went to the church to have a Presidency meeting by conference call with the RS President and Counselor over activities. They live in Kirkland Lake, about 60 miles away. It was a great discussion and we took care of some sticky problems.
Now, it's time to get to bed so we can have enough sleep for the first leg of our trip to Maryland tomorrow. I'm starting to get excited!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
