Peace, Love and Ice Cream
Today is September 23 and we decided to take a "P" day. Tomorrow is the blowout day of Debbie's birthday so I better rest up a little. We drove up to Stowe Ski Resort just to take a look around and to monitor the changing of the leaves. They are becoming spectacular!
BUT I'll be honest they better get a lot better to be as beautiful as Covered Bridge Canyon with the sun shining on it on the perfect Autumn day. The Stowe Resort is massive and the condo's go on forever. Just above Stowe is Smugglers Gap Ski Resort and it's pretty much a picture postcard also.
On the way to Stowe we stopped at the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream factory and took a tour. Took us right back to our Hippy day's. Tie Dyed Tee shirts and all!
Tomorrow is Debbie's birthday and to celebrate we've been trying to find a reumatolagist and internal medicine doctor that accepts new patients in the area. Mom's knee's are really getting sore and she wants to see someone. I'm all checked in at the Vermont School of Medicine to keep on my cancer care. It's great to get old!
The institute crowd. It was a small group last week but they are really amazing!
From a mission standpoint the work is going on steady every day. This Sunday a new Young Single Adult Branch will be organized and we will be assigned to it. That means a 1 hour commute to Church each week instead of the 5 minutes we have now in the ward. Mom cooks dinner every Thursday night for the Single Adults and I teach the lesson. We hope in the Branch some of the food can be deligated so that we can share the teaching.We spend lots of time just doing detective work finding the YSA's that have become invisible. Some want to be and others are just waiting to see if the Church will show interest and invite them back.
We work in the Bishop's Storehouse every other Saturday. The patrons who use this service are very much in need and very appreciative of the Church.
I try to play golf on Tuesdays but the weather is going to get cold real soon and that will end. This last week I showed up at the golf course and asked if I could get on. The pro said yes and put me on with three other grandpa's, they were 87,88,90. It felt really good to play with guys that I could beat! The week before it was ladies day when I showed up so I played with three amazing women. Our Chapel is right next to the course so I point out the steeple and try to do a little missionary work. We have a black water snake that lives under our front porch and I can tell immediately when Debbie goes out side and her friend is there. We love the work and will continue to press on. Until next time,
Peace, Love and Ice Cream Ken
