Saturday/Sunday Post

I'm still on West Coast time - which means I sit up late trying to find something worth watching on the T.V. And if I try blogging, blogger gets confused and doesn't post when I think they will post.

So I'm a day late and a dollar short as they say in the vernacular.

Today we head to Nashua, New Hampshire to attend church in Sister Lopez's ward there. She served in the Arcadia Mission a few years back. She is one of the many wonderful sister missionaries Harry worked with. And she is from Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Speaking of missionary work, Harry was released as Ward Mission Leader after more than 6 years in the calling. Now we need to finally organize our files of photos to see if we can still recognize the multitude of missionaries who have come through our house over the years! (Am I sounding a bit like Elder Maxwell with my penchant for alliteration??)

His new calling is Emergency Preparedness Specialist. And we are ready for that!

20 years ago!!

It strikes me as odd that something from the 90's is 20 years ago!! I remember going to my twenty year high school reunion - that seemed "old!" The 90's still seem "new!"

Dad and I are pictured here with Lindy and Bonnie Robison - he and Dad were missionary companions twice. He and Bonnie live in Michigan - and he went to graduate school there. Their Christmas letters were always full of stories about pipes freezing or other hazards of cold weather. Or they wrote about an insomniac toddler who drove them to the point where they taught him to turn out all the lights when he finally went to bed! And then this same toddler was called to be a missionary in Utah and that letter was funny too - but I think I'd need to quote it to get it right. Something about being a stranger in a strange land!

We have not seen them since this time although we are in touch. I guess it's about time for another 20 year reunion!!
