Family is one thing we don't see much here in Florida.
So when Tim showed up...
That put the WOW in our week.
Thursday night before he went back to Mary and kids in Utah on Friday morning.
Monday night we had dinner with him at Bone Fish Grill...
We were so excited to have him and visit with him we didn't get pictures....
It was so good to have him.
Stan made the comment that it was like out of context and not real.
Amen to that.
Tim were you really here?
He was here on business, and we had business so...
twice in the week..
twice in the week..
not enough!
Delsie Teeter, from Malta, who I went visiting teaching to for seven years, is writing to us while on our mission.
She sends me articles from the paper.
What a treat it was to get this Monday in the mail.
Congratulations to the...
ARMY FAMILY OF THE YEAR!
=========================
Not really family but these guys like our patio for home.

This one is as big as my hand when he is stretched out!
If they eat bugs they are always welcome!
Record heat for October.
It was so hot this last week.
But by Saturday it was cool again...
Low eighties....
love this weather.
BACK AT THE OFFICE...

She is in Cosmetology school and needs hours hours hours...

Elder Gregson invited her to come cut the Elders hair.
This is Elder Swift.
Our computers are being taken over by Elders on P day because there are not enough at the Employment center for all of them.
We get to tread water while all of that goes on.

Tis the season for Halloween...
This is Bear and Abby.
Bear greets us as we come and go from work.
Abby is usually with him in the evenings..
She does her homework out there with Bear.
ELDER CAMPBELL
He does so much and never has a camera with him to document.
He went to Waterford lakes and took a retired car and replaced it with Sister Gervais and Perriera car that needed repairs.
He took old bikes to Elder Conant to use in building new ones.
He took a repaired bike to Elder Machado.
Moved furniture from the living quarters of a man who died.
Stan was so sensitive.
This mans daughter called and told Elder James she had her fathers furniture and would like to donate it to the missionaries.
They went to get it and Elder Campbell...
Was taken back...
In this living space was all this mans posessions.
It took him back to when we were cleaning out Ruth and Nick's home.
Here was the daughter...
alone...
taking care of her father's things.
alone...
taking care of her father's things.
Stan took a moment with her to make sure she was okay.
Elder Campbell goes to Waterford Lakes with Elder Gregson and Swift on Wednesdays to teach.
He went Wednesday and ended up in a Pentecostal meeting with a woman priest.
They had a band and were really singing praises to the Lord.
(I would have like to have seen that)
Oh yes...
he did sell that car finally and has six more if anyone is interested.
Morning Mist
Brings feelings of nostalgia.
As a girl the morning mists were a part of walking to the bus every morning while I lived in Belleview.
MOVING DAY
(and weather you can't beat)
Elder Doxey here in color to help with the move.
Elder Hyer seems to be in charge in his moving attire.
Sister James leads the pack with Sister Lovejoy and Homer following her lead
Sister Homer excited to be moving from this dive.
Ward helpers...the more hands the merrier.
Saying good bye to the old.
regrouping to move to the new digs.
Once again many hands make light work.
New home...
Love these gals.
They are ASL but are being made 'Zebra'
Means they will teach both ALS and English.
(Transfers this next week will split them up...so sad)
Taco Soup
Taco Soup
I had to feed the masses and I had the time....
So I made Taco Soup...

Elder Engemann is going to Daytona Tuesday Transfer.
"Listen and head...."
We had stake conference this weekend...
My wish is that all of my friends and family could have been taught by President Pratt.
What a wonderful conference we have had.
No rain since Tropical Depression 16....
But the skies are unbelievable
If you want and A+ life
You will have A+ challenges.
You will never make a serious mistake in life IF you listen to the Holy Ghost.
