I'm still having trouble learn how to do this. I thought I had written in this yesterday and caught us up to date but lost it. Oh well, good practice.
We had a good trip to Texas, we went to Moms on Fri. Jan 11 stayed the week-end. We got together with the family (Bill & Marlene, Kyle & Dana & family, Calvin & Jodee & family, Aunt Evelyn, Velma & Junior Perkins stopped by also. It was good to see and visit with everyone.
Marlene & Bill drove up with a new car they had just purchased. A Town and Country Van , really nice lot of nice features. We headed out Mon. morning right after Bill came by and sent us of with a case of TWIN
BINGS (my favorite candy bar). We stopped at Ron and Mary's ,we had a good lunch & visit with them. Then stopped at Judy (
Ruzicka) store and visited with her then off to Texas. Grand Island had had a great snow storm a few days before snow was piled up everywhere they were hauling it out in dump trucks. The road were clear and we had a good drive to Oklahoma City were we stayed the first night.
The second day we stayed in Huntsville,
Tx.
We finally arrived!!! We went to the Mission Office in Sugar Land The
Laucks greeted us and showed us around. The
Dunnings came back from lunch and we met them. They are great couples and have been so kind and friendly and helpful. Made us feel very welcome.
Bro. Dunning brought us over to our apartment, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very nice apt. freshly painted and carpeted. We have two bedrooms, two walk in closets, dining/
livingroom, small kitchen and laundry room with storage. Its just right for us. WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR VISITORS! As soon as I learn how to put pictures in I show you our new home.
We were invited to Pres. & Sis.
Saylin's home (our Mission President and wife and 6 kids) for supper and to met their family. They are great and so friendly. I'll tell you more about them later and get a picture.
We had a good meal then had an interview with Pres.
Saylin, then we each
introducted ourselves along with the
Dunnings and the
Laucks. And met the
Saylin children ages 15 to 4.
They asked us to bear our testimonies and they shared
thiers, it was a special evening.
We start each day early, we are at the Mission office a little before 8:00am to open up and put our running shoes on. I am amazed at all that goes on each to day to keep the mission running smooth.
This is Elder and Sister Laucks. They are the ones we are replaceing. They are great and have help us a lot in learning our responsiblities. This is the back room the mail room.
This is Elder and Sister Dunning. Sister Dunning is over the finances and Elder Dunning is of the apartments and housing . We are really enjoying them. They will be here until Nov.
This is Gaylen's office he works from. He is having trouble with his computer right now they are trying to get it up and running. Its putting him behind on his work.
This is our little kitchen you can reach everything from standing in one place which is now a bad thing.
Look like nothing for supper! Let's go to Taco Bell!!!
This is our good memory case with all our dear family pictures and albums.
Our second bedroom we use as our computer room and office but it will probable have bunk beds in it to help house the missionaries as they come and leave the mission.
You can guess.
The other side of you can guess.
