Bob: Another day, another MLC in the books. Tough thing is, there is another MLC in about 3 weeks. I cooked waffles today with Sister Erickson. Sister Martin had to take care of the front desk and Elder Erickson had a car accident among other things to deal with. With the 2 waffle makers it's not too bad. One person can usually operate both of the makers while the other person makes batter, etc. We ended up with more waffles than we needed though. Some were taken home.
One thing I forgot to tell you about yesterday. When we went to Costco the first thing the First Mate told me was that she needed to visit the washroom because I had taken so long at the bank. I said ok, I'll wait for you because I don't want to get separated in Costco (Walmart is bad enough; I might never find her in Costco). So I'm standing there waiting for her when she finally appears. She tells me, "I must be getting tired. I went into the wrong washroom!" I said, "Was anyone in there?" She said, "Oh yeah! It didn't take me long to realize I was in the wrong one." I asked her if anyone offered her a seat! Anyway, she didn't seem too flustered by it. Happened to me one time, but I don't remember when or where. But the washroom was empty!!
After work today I took 2 Elders to the storage hut so we could load up a box spring, a bed frame, and 3 chairs. They are taking that plus 4 bikes to Windsor, which is just across the border from Detroit. Takes them about 4 hours to get there. That's one trip I didn't want to make. They had to leave their car and take the pickup and cargo van.
Once I got home we went to Walmart to pick up a few things. Don't have major plans tomorrow except helping the Ericksons move their personal things from Building 6 to Building 4. A new couple will be moving into their old apartment in Building 6. I didn't get the insurance certificate till 6:00 today for a new apartment we are trying to lease. The ball is in their court now if they want to lease to us. I originally wanted the apartment by today, but that didn't happen. Now I don't need it till January. I am sure that is going to make them very happy.
Don't know if I mentioned it or not, but Hannah totaled her car a couple weeks ago. Well on Tuesday night she totaled her mother's new car. She is alright, but that's 2 cars in about 2 weeks. I think her mother better sit down when she gets her insurance renewal/non-renewal letter. Either way it's not going to be pretty.
Got to let the First Mate write now before she goes to sleep. Love to all and enjoy your weekend. Good night brother.

Bonnie: Some good things happened today. We could hear the missionaries singing for MLC. I just love it--those powerful voices singing "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" and the combined songs: "As Sisters in Zion" and "We'll Bring the World His Truth". It makes me want to weep! Some packages that I have been waiting to receive came today. And two companionships gave us pictures to put on our bulletin board. We had plenty of waffles and plenty of treats on the treat platter. It was a very good day.
Tomorrow we will help Erickson's move and then have them over for a simple dinner. It will also be a good day and I will get to do some cooking!
May all of us have a good day tomorrow, where we are blessed by the Lord is my prayer this night.
Love, Mom/Bonnie
