Tropical Depression 16 went out to sea...
with it went all the moisture.
We have had wonderful fall weather and pleasant clear skies.
The normal AM temperature most of the week.
Sprinklers were back on Tuesday morning...
This is where all that water was last week.
With that water came the flowers...
bushes that were barren burst into bloom.
It is beautiful here right now.
The dew is heavy every morning.
Elder Rice sent Stan his mileage and fuel records.
He is a cute missionary.
It is quiet on the home front and two very green missionaries are...
napping...
Trainers are looking on. :-)
(Elder Wilks on the left is Elder Lewis' trainer
Elder Engemann's on the right is Elder Fullmer's trainer.)
Elder Schow is using the skill of sewing buttons with a shank on his suit.
I taught him that between Missionary correlation meeting and Sacrament meeting a few weeks back.
He is very excited about it.....
This kid is out stopping traffic every night on their walk around the lake.
Tonight he has a coin he is showing me....
AFTER he stopped me.
(They are of Indian decent, a beautiful family)
An unlikely trio
The 'ol duck the mutant duck and our lone wood stork.
They hang together...
Pretty good friends.
A beautiful clear twilight...
Elder Bingham (Right)...
decedent of Erastis Bingham, don't know which wife,
and Elder Nelson (left)...
who's grandfather Keith Nelson used to work in Juniper years ago.
They were hit by a car, hit and run.
They guy hit them and a couple other cars and was finally caught a week or so later.
Anyway their car has been at the hospital for a couple of weeks and they have been on bikes...
they were glad it has been cool.
Stan and I took their van to them and they were very happy.
Kelly Joe and little Sam Parson's
They were going to purchase a mission car.
But after driving a couple of hours to the mission office...
and looking at it and thinking about it...
he didn't feel right about it.
Me...I'm getting my baby fix.
Now a little bit of a story.
When we got here (on our mission)...
there were 14 cars parked in the parking lot that 'Salt Lake' wanted sold.
Most of them had been sitting there for about a year.
'Salt Lake' was able to find a buyer to take nine cars.
Stan sold a couple and purchased one himself.
That left two...
The tires were rotting and batteries eroding and other deterioration was happening while they sat in the Florida sun.
Stan and the Assistance decided that those cars would be better off being used while they were waiting to be sold.
So far each time someone wants to purchase them something happens and the cars don't sell.
After Stan took the car from
Elders Machado Schmeil Lopez and Montgomery, to sell to the Parsons, they started
praying they would get a car because their area is to big for bikes.
Thus this beautiful little couple had the funds and wanted the car but didn't feel good about it.
So after the temple Saturday morning we took the car back to...
Elders Montgomery Lopez Machado Schmeil.
They were so happy...
They live in the guest house of some members main home.
The yard is beautiful.
The guest house.
hThe main house and yard
These flowers are amazing. They line the highways.
They bloomed last spring and then died out...
But after the Tropical Depression they just burst into bloom once again.
This is a giant bird cage.
It has bird baths and trees and all kinds of things for birds..
it is all enclosed.
There all canaries and other exotic and very colorful birds all singing on this beautiful morning.
(Ben could you do this for your pigeons?)
After delivering their car we picked up
Elder Rydalch and Brown
for a late breakfast or early lunch at Perkins.
They are the Zone leaders for the Spanish Zone.
Good guys and hard workers.
This last week the police found our stolen car...
long story.
We got it cleaned up and sold it to a guy east of here near Tampa.
So after eating with the Elders we took our little 'gray' Corella to be sold.
The man who owns the used car dealer is of Indian decent.
He has a family business.
He also owns an Orphanage in India with thirty children.
All his proceeds go to the orphanage.
During our trip we saw some new country.
A large transmission sub station here for Disney World.
They built this and if...
you look closely you can see the lines going out from it
It is part of the sub station.
This was actually in the yard of the home with the guest house...
But we saw a lot of orchards with oranges that are ripening.
Our daughter Esther on the right her friend on the left...
Ran a marathon Saturday morning.
Esther came in third for her age group.
PLOUTS
A plouts is a cross between a plum and an appricot
YUM
Our daughter Esther
Ran a marathon Saturday October 9 2019
She won third place in her age category.
34 four and four children.
Sunday 10-10-10 (October 10, 2010)
The promised moisture for this week is moving back in.
This is a picture I found on the Internet.
I copied it and put in on the bulletin board.
FINDING YOUR SWEET SPOT
If you stay the course,
reach out to others for help,
and share your gifts,
you too can find a sweet spot.
My lesson in SS today was about the Savior's life.
His life was a life of service.
He showed us the way...
all he asks of us is to...
Follow Him.
