Hi Everyone, This has been another great week to be in the missionfield. Still cool and wet but typical for this summer. It will be fall soon and still no summer weather. They, the old farmers, say this has been the coldest and wetttest summer since 1972. It figures we're here. It is actually quite comfortable, we haven't felt that hot muggy thing yet. The two pictures are from this week. We came across this Amish flat bed wagon at a hitching post right in Lowville. You can see how the men are dressed with the straw hat and black clothes. There was actually a woman and child also but they're covered up. Kind of quaint isn't it. We will miss the Amish, they are a very peaceful group. The other is of our monthly dinner, we held it later in the month because some of the soldiers were on block leave. It was our largest turnout so far there were 18 people, 10 soldiers, 3 non-members. After they scarfed down all the food they played volley ball for a hour. They all seemed to enjoy the activity. On Sunday we were invited to dinner at Col Haight's, he is the brigade commander who is in Afghan. now. It is alway fun to go there because she sets a great table and is a great conversationists. Lot of war stories stuff. Their son comes home from his mission next month. We spent alot of time helping a spouse whose husband is in Afghan. move. She put their stuff in storage and is going home to help with her aging grandmother. It was military housing so cleaning was the big chore. I helped shampoo the carpets but had to fix the machine first, it figures. It was transfer week in the mission but in our district no one moved so we got out of the usual trip to Utica. I guess the new mission President did the smart thing and is waiting for the dust to settle on his arrival before he shakes things up. I told them before hand they weren't going to move
