Dear Family,
It has been another busy week. Monday night at FHE we all talked about the miracles we have seen in the mission and all around us. I think so often we take these things that go on in our lives, for granted and do not stop and see the Lords hand in our lives. I see my even being here such a miracle. It was a good discussion.
Tuesday we had transfer meeting. The whole chapel was filled with wall to wall missionaries. Then of course we see "our "missionaries get transferred and it is hard. But we have 2 Chinese missionaries, a Aussie and a Polynesia here by us now. They are all wonderful and we love them. I am so thankful to get to know so many wonderful missionaries. The day was crazy, but fun. The missionaries are all so happy to see each other and have a chance to talk, but sad to say goodbye to the missionaries who are leaving to go home. We helped to get a dinner ready for about 25 people also.
Wednesday DD and I were here at the office at 5:00 am to help get all the missionaries who were leaving ready to go. We had bought granola bars, apples and water for the bus. Made sure they had all their luggage, passports, papers, tickets,etc. there is always something left here. There were 14 who left to go home. Two of the sisters went to Singapore, then to Dubai and then separated. One went to England and the other went to South Africa. Sad to see them all go. We had 10 new missionaries come in. Only one was from the U.S. He is from Filer Idaho. A small town by Buhl, for those who know there Idaho geography. DD and I went over to the mission home and helped with lunch for about 30 people. We enjoy doing this.
Today has simply been a day for catching up. Still trying to get things together for the Sisters Conference next Monday and Tuesday.
The weather is starting to get colder. The mornings are really cold. We were going to take the train to the city on Saturday, but it is suppose to rain, so we will see. There is a big outdoor flower show that is suppose to be wonderful. Maybe we will end up going to see Cinderella instead.
Erin, glad you got the package for Easter. Alex, that sounds like it was a great Saturday. I am sure they appreciated all the help with the horses, sorry for anyone who missed it. Robbie, when I see the missionaries out here and the glow they have, get excited. There is nothing better you could be doing now then preparing. The Lord needs you. Think of the example you will be for all your cousins and family that look up to you . I am so proud of all my grandchildren. You are all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all and miss you.
Love, Mom
