A Teeter Week

This week was like the pause at the top of a Teeter-totter, we enjoyed ourselves while waiting to go speeding on into next week.  We are going to Puerto Rico on Sunday, hopefully for one week;  we may need to extend our trip through Monday or Tuesday to get to the conference in St. Kitt's.  The flights for getting all of the island couples and Elders to St. Kitt's are difficult to coordinate. 

I have been getting some slide shows together for our time at the zone conferences, simple topics to help them take care of themselves.  Hydration fluids, managing diarrhea, viral rashes, and taking care of toenails.

My work this week was fairly quiet, calls from West Indies, a few from here and a social outing last night to the Ford's.  The Ford's have been on four missions together, they work in the West Mission office.  The Robert's were also with us, they work on the Perpetual Education Fund, in the Institute building near the University.  We had good conversations and learned more about how things work around here, and elsewhere in the world.

Temple highlights this week included more work in Spanish, we are actually making progress!  We sometimes don't see each other much once we are at the Temple, but this week we did more together. It is a nice thing to work in the Temple.

Our new Missionaries arrived on Thursday, I haven't had much contact with them yet.  I do have vaccinations for two, one will be English speaking from Guatemala in the West Indies mission and a second from South Africa will arrive today.  He also is English speaking in the West Indies.  I think God puts all Elders where they will grow and bless there lives if obedient, but these two that will go home with fluent English will truly bless their homes and areas someday.

Finally, what did you do for 11:1 am on 11/11/11 ?   Hope you didn't waste this cosmic moment.


Is that gagging I hear?

FHE this week included a silly birthday moment and a beautiful hymn by the missionaries, they were leaving on Tuesday am so it was good to see some of them one last time.



Birthday boy as we sung Happy Birthday.
