New From Up North 6/14/09

Hi Gang, We had a great visit with Bob and Molly and Megan and Luke. We picked them up at the airport and went to Palmyra and then the next day we visited the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario and the sites close to them. We had a great time together and enjoyed the visit. They took a boat trip over from Alexandria Bay to a small island to a place called Bolt Castle. We also visited a small lakeside town called Clayton and then onto Sacketts Harbor which is a historical site from the War of 1812 and is on Lake Ontario. On Monday before they came we had a miniature golf activity with our Young Adults. We had 18 attend, a record for us. One of the soldiers who had not been coming for a long time came with a new girl who is in his unit. We have had quite a few new ones show up lately. We are also losing about 5 great families these next two weeks. They are moving on to other posts. It is difficult to think that we might never see them again. We will try to keep in touch. Another amazing thing happened this week. We ran home between visits on Saturday and Adam Lindsey was waiting outside our apt. He is at Cambridge which is fairly close and came by to see us. We had a geat visit and it is always so good to see someone from home. We are never bored here! We lost the Elders in the area last week and now only have Sisters in Watertown and a set of Elders in Carthage. This should simplify things a little for us. We send our love to all! Mom & Dad
