We had the missionaries over for dinner on Sunday – we had Hawaiian Haystacks & seemed to have enough food for all. We had Elders Garbringer, Davis, Hunter & Lutu and Sisters Preston & Malloy.

We had a great gospel discussion on the temple. It was fun to be with these kids, they helped clean up and then left for appointments with investigators.
We will do it next fast Sunday,
We had 3 zone conferences this week – papa has had 80 cars to inspect over the last two weeks. The have put 15 ½ gallons of washer fluid in cars along with oil (when needed), transmission fluid, and anything else they could help with. He has also filled out forms letting these kids know what needs to be repaired on the cars and then followed up on Friday – some have great follow through, ours not so much. (I'm thinking Elder Casper should be use to this... he did raise 5 teenagers).
He also has to match up gas receipts and mileage and all kinds of things to be able to keep the cars in the mission. He is busy.
I ended up not taking a turn at the Zone Conferences – we have 16 new missionaries coming this week that I was pretty much on top of things for – then got the information that we have 4 visa waiters ( missionaries assigned to Brazil who can’t get a visa yet) who will be coming so had to get their materials ready . We also have leadership changes on Wednesday, transfer day, and so I have had paperwork up to my eyeballs – just trying to get ready.
This will be our second transfer day since we have been in the field – we had been here one week last time. This time we should be a little more prepared but don’t hold your breath. Papa has to do a presentation on cars and safety and I have one on mail, Ordering Supplies, and Baptism. Really messed it up last time – hope to do better this time.
We are still having rain everyday – not the torrential down pour, but still rain. Then the sun comes out and shines on all the green and it is amazing.
Still looking for our wandering sheep – not much luck yet but haven’t had a lot of time either. I met the Young Single Adult Branch President last week and we will work with him to get some things also. Seems like a really nice man.
Dad taught Sunday School last week and will teach again this week. Our Sunday School teacher is taking his mom back to Georgia and so needed help – Ron is a really good teacher and I think everyone enjoyed his class.
President Irion’s birthday is on Thursday and Sister Irion has asked me to help put together a book of birthday wishes from the missionaries – so in addition to transfer – I get birthday, that is ok. That is the fun stuff to do.
