24 June 2010 – Thursday
The whole morning was cleaning up paperwork that seems to be breeding. Mary had to catch up on the bookkeeping and I went through stacks of papers for the third or fourth time. I also made lists of things we needed to get in writing for the new couple – the Nuzmans from Ogden – so they do not have to start from scratch. I got their phone number from Elder Davis and will try to call them to see if they have any questions and if we can meet them while they are at the MTC. They will arrive exactly one month after we leave.
We worked until lunch time – there are still stacks of papers everywhere because I can not make a decision about where to put things. After lunch – McDonalds today – we had three easy errands to get done before we headed for Port Durnford.
Mary had only two students for English – I spent the time making lists and telephone calls. Youth went well with Mary and I giving a good lesson on Enos and then having them play some games before giving them snacks. We mentioned that next week will be our last one with them but we should be there for testimony meeting on the 4th of July.
As we were driving home we could see another field of cane being burned off. The flames must have been at least 30 feet high. It is an amazing thing to see flames and hear the crackling of the fire. Too bad it also means the sky is filled with smoke and haze.
