Hi Gang, Well June ended with a real rush and July came in wet and cold. It sure doesn't seem like July or even summer when the temp. is in the low 70's and its raining all the time. We are at least used to it by now. Our week was filled up with visits and fix up projects. It may seen routine but believe me lots goes on in those two areas. In the visits life stores are told and in the fixup areas there have been some real stumpers. We have learned to be patient and take things as they come. It has been very uplifting watching the arm of the Lord in action in the lives of these people. Not to mention the tender mercies. Col Haight, 3rd BCT commander, was home on R&R from Afghanistan and was at Church. We had a great talk about the war there, he is so mater of fact and upfront. He made it a real point to talk with the spouses of his troops who were at church. He was very concerned about them and their families. He is a great example of a modern day rightous military leader. Saturday we met our new mission president and his wife. (Picture) the Bullocks from southern Utah. She grew up in Circleville and he grew up in Ceder City. He has been a CES Administrator for the past 15 years but began as a seminary teacher in Centerville and went on to Viewment leaving in 1979, just missing the Larsen chain. They seem to be great people. It will be interesting to watch what changes are made in the mission. The other picture is of one of our rare sunset up here. This was just after a stormy day and the clouds were beautiful. Sunday evening we went up to Wellsley Island on the St. Lawrance to a members house on the river to watch Fireworks over Bolt Castle. It was Great there were 200 hundred people there, lots of ward members, food and good conversation. The firework lasted for about a hour boats filled the river to watch. Four of our soldiers came and they really enjoyed the break from barracks life. This is a really a busy time for soldiers, block leave (2 wks) training at Ft Polk (4 Wks) More block leave then deployment in Oct. For the next month of so they are gone. We are still loving the work and are really looking forward to seeing the crazy caravan bunch (Scott's term) this week. Take care and stay out of trouble. Mom and Dad
