Bob: Okay, March came in like a lion in Brampton. It snowed about 3 inches, the wind blew and it is cold. We are hoping it gets better before the weekend.
It is really snowing now. Tried to take a picture, but that doesn't work when you're taking it through a window!! As I look at the snow now it is coming down at about a 45 degree angle so the wind must be blowing. Don't hear any howling tonight though.
The new tires sure helped coming home tonight. Never felt like I was spinning. The old tires would spin and the alarm on the dash would come on. Never saw it tonight. We won't be taking our car to Temiskaming though. The Elders in Val d'Or have a new Nissan Rogue that needs taken up to them so I volunteered to do that. No one really wanted to take it north. Hope we don't need the all wheel drive function.
Well we have to get to bed. Love to all and good night brothers.

Bonnie: It's been a very busy day getting ready for MLC. We have the orders pulled, but I am out of some things which I don't like. Tomorrow is our very early day because we have to be there by 7:10 to make the waffles before the meeting starts. Between the three of us women we can do it, though. Then, it will be a matter of moving all of the supplies out into the foyer for each zone, and adding the packages, mail, the ESL supplies, and the boxes of Books of Mormon. I think it will be about 18 boxes of  English ones, 2 boxes of Spanish, one of Simplified Chinese, one of Traditional Chinese and one box of French books. My shelves will be empty after tomorrow! Anyway, I know it will be a great day for the missionaries and us as well. One very exciting thing is that the "cards" for the Easter Initiative arrived today. This is a wonderful thing the Church has been doing for some time. Every Christmas and every Easter they come out with little pass-along cards. The cards are small, with a thought-provoking question that directs a person to mormon.org. I think our Mission President has prayed them here by MLC tomorrow!! He is very excited to give them out to the Zone Leaders.
It was nice tonight because I left for home about 5:30 with the Cannon's. We did some shopping for tomorrow and then went to eat at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I had a very delicious hamburger. With the snow, we got home about 7:00. I didn't expect Bob until about 10:00, but he came home about 7:15, saying that Institute had been cancelled. We've had a nice night tonight just being home in our apartment, relaxing and watching the snow fall outside our window. I'm headed for bed now, so sweet dreams to all!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
