It was a very 2nd Monday here in the office. We have a staff meeting every 2nd Monday and most of the time all the couples are in attendance. Even the McCormicks make the long drive up here to be in the meeting and then at the Senior FHE.

  

This week our meeting included Elder and Sister Ellis. Elder Collins gave him a quick tutorial on how to make copies on the work centre printer. I have been trying to read what is written on sister Ellis’ scarf but I think it may be in Bulgarian!

  

Sisters Stegelmeier and Herrera made another stop in to see elder Bare about their car. Sister Bare is recovering from some surgery around her eye and was not really keen on being in the picture. The APs – it was p-day and they were using the computers to do their e-mailing  – were in so elder Gust talked to sister Stegelmeier for a minute.  Sister Stegelmeier wanted a picture with me…she has been in the area for 6 months and we have no pictures together! I do think she is in a Last Lunch group picture with us from when sister Dye was still here.

  

  

  

Senior FHE is always filled with good food, good conversation, and great friendship. Dinner was hot dogs, chips and fruit.

President and Sister Anderson came up with a take-off of game we had played before. The group was broken up into groups and one of them got a headband with a slot for a card. The object is for them to ask questions of the others in the group that can only be answered yes or no that will help them guess what is written on the card. Sister Anderson made up cards with names of people, objects and places from the Book of Mormon. The player who got the correct answer first won that round. After four rounds – which gave just about everyone a chance to be it – the winners of each round had a last contest. The winner of that round was the grand champion. Mary and I won our rounds along with sisters McCormick and Barry. In the playoff Mary won easily so she was the grand champion.

When we were picking up investigators on Sunday I saw this rooster and it reminded us of the colorful ones we saw all the time in South Africa.
