Looks Like We Made It!

I can’t believe that it’s been two weeks since we posted.  Time is really flying by! We’ve had transfers again!  We are staying busy and I guess that’s good. This past two weeks we’ve been to the far corners of Vermont doing Apartment Inspections.  We love these visits.  It gives us an opportunity to take these missionaries out to lunch and get to know them a bit.  Some of the missionaries we had to say goodbye to because transfers were coming up.  Transfers are the hardest thing in missions.  I get pretty attached to the missionaries we serve with.  At the Sister’s apartment in Lamoille we looked at the dresser and saw this sitting on it.  They are so sweet! L to R: Sister Harrison (who is NO LONGER with us😢) and Sister Campbell Last Sunday Ken spoke in Sacrament meeting AND gave the Come Follow Me lesson in SS.  He did a FABULOUS job.  What a super star he is. We had a cleaning assignment at the Montpelier building on a...

We now know what a Vermont snow squall is.  I guess it’s in all of New England but we thought it was weird when we would get this weather warning on our phone and it would tell us about a “snow squall” that was coming through.  We were glad we got home before it hit.  A snow squall is a fast moving snow storm with winds that moves through really suddenly and fast.  Here’s what it looks like:  (I wish the motion on these photos would post but alas it doesn’t) On New Years Eve Ken got an opportunity to golf.  I’ll let him post about that: For a new Years party me and two of the YSA's went golfing! There is a golf simulator here called GONZO's and it's really fun. We were able to pick from 100 courses and we picked Pebble Beach...the owner told us that most people make the same choice. You take your own clubs and the shots for me were just as hard and real as live golf. Jordan goes to BYH (Hawaii) and was heading back...

Ok.  We realize that it’s been ALMOST two weeks since we wrote.  Guess that means that we’ve been busy!  And that’s always a good thing on a mission!😁   On December 19th we had a special zone conference that was really AWESOME!  We love our mission leaders!  (Did you know that they have changed what they call the mission president and wife to mission leaders--that’s because the mission president’s wife is just as much a mission leader as her husband.)  Anyway, they planned a truly wonderful zone conference.  We had a beautiful live nativity with musical numbers and the scripture story.  It was wonderful--especially since I knew I would be missing the one we always had with our grandchildren.  And these missionaries have become “adopted” grandchildren to us.  We love them so much!  I can’t believe how much talent they all have.  There are so many musically talented missionaries.  I’m going to share a link to one ...
