Hi family! Monday was District activity and we took the missionaries out to lunch in Lowville and to the park for basketball and frisbee. It is still pretty cool and rainy here. At pageant they had to stop the show one night because of lightning but they did finish later. This week we have spent a lot of time helping a sister move off post to home because her grandmother is sick. Her husband is in Iraq so the Ward has helped. We have cleaned her carpets, etc. Her little kids call us grandma and grandpa every time they see us and give us big hugs. We are teaching Institute lessons all this summer as the teacher is gone most of the time. This Sunday we had some new families show up to Carthage Ward. It is thrilling to get good solid members that move in. One of the pictures shows a grain elevator painted like the flag. Around here there is a great deal of Americana everywhere you go. It's great! This particular farm is a favorite of dads. We have had some problems with the young missionaries overstepping their bounds on Ft. Drum and we called the new Mission Pres. since the missionaries would not listen to us. He called the Military Mission Dept and got it all straightened out. He will be good! We are enjoying our days here and we love the people so much. There is never a dull moment!! We send our love to all!
