Hi
How's it going?
Yes, someone was telling me all about Ike. They also showed me some pictures of the damage that it did, and even one of the hurricanes from space.
We don't seem to have gotten any of it, but today it was 63F in the morning and 73F by the time we left Institute, so it sure looks like we got that cold front that pushed Ike away from us. It’s really quite amazing what nature can do.
Other things that have been happening here:
we have a new missionary couple, Elder and Sister Schlag, in our area. Their main focus will be on military relations, so they're going to be spending a lot of time in the student/military branch, and working with members that are in the military. We helped them move into their apartment, and they're very nice, and have a strong testimony.
Elder Schlag said he met a member of our ward here that he would like to do family history with, because his mom has the same maiden name. Unfortunately, that member, our high priest group leader died of a heart attack later that day. There are lots of people that really loved him.
Also, this past Sunday, Bishop Bushman did something very unusual: during sacrament meeting, he discoursed on the Sabbath and on the sacrament, and what they mean to us, and how we should treat them. Then we had the sacrament passed to us and then he cancelled the rest of the classes, and asked everybody to go home, and, as families, discuss how they can make their Sabbaths better. It was really interesting (and weird).
Oh, and someone here that we teach is in the air force, and he showed us the way they've been taught to polish shoes, and it's quite simple; so I'm going to be giving it a try, especially since I haven't done much shoe polishing on my mission.
But anyways, it's been an interesting week (oh, and we had zone conference, too) and things are going well.
Talk to you later!
