We didn't get around to the blog last week. Thanks for the birthday cards and greetings. We also had our 44th anniversary on the 19th. We're getting up there. We have done a lot of visiting lately! Some new soldiers left and we are visiting their wives. One lady is so upset. It's her hauband's third deployment and she is sure something bad is going to happen. She cries and cries. We don't really know what to do for her except listen. We helped the Sisters clean their apartment. They moved because something in the old apartment was making one of the Sister sick. We got two new, great families who moved into the Carthage Ward. Dad helped both of them out with some projects in the homes they have moved into. We have been teaching Institute almost all summer as the teacher has been gone. We visited a man in a rehab center who has had another bad stroke. They did not think he would make it and he is rocovering well. He knows he has another chance for a reason. He is currently repenting. On Friday the 14th we went up to Lake Placid for my birthday. The drive through the Aderondaks is beautiful. Last time we were there the museums were all closed for the winter. We went to the Olympics Museum and dad is pictured in front of the famous hockey goal when the Americans beat the Russians. Also, the other picture is of Lake Placid and the mountain called Whiteface behind it where the ski competitions took place. It is only 4500 ft. Yesterday we went to Palmyra again and took two men who had not been. It is always so beautiful and has such a spirit. We continue to help out and visit and do what we can. Missionary work is indeed work! We send our love to you all!
