These great girls remembered it was our anniversary and
surprised us with a "car" full of our favorite treats!

Some weeks just don't turn out as planned. The trick is to keep planning and be flexible!! The "fixed" car is kaput again, the clothes washer is still kaput. We visited apartments, just not as many as we had planned. The car sprung a "leak" and we were stranded 60 miles away from home in the rain. Thanks to some willing Elders, whose plans had changed, they were able to get us home. The car was towed to a dealership five minutes before they closed for the week end. We were able to get a rental car without the normal 8 hour waiting period. We took our weeks' worth of dirty clothes to the sisters' apartment and use their washer, we've got clean clothes now for another week. Lots of tender mercies along the way this week - "When a door closes - God opens a window."


They learned the advantages of "Windex." We used an entire
bottle to help their apartment shine. Their future wives will thank
us someday!



German Sausages and American Potato Salad is always a hit.
Especially when it's followed by chocolate cake and fresh apple cake.
This group is always easy to feed!




After lunch and an inspirational meeting there is always time for
pictures before running off to catch a train and go back to work.



Sunday dinner with this adorable family was uplifting.
