Bits and pieces

I guess there are weeks like this.

We did have some visits...

and that was worth all else.

We have some Floridians that we visit that are a hoot.

We have some that are getting ready for baptism.

But there were some that just were 'no shows'.

I guess that is to be expected.

The young guys get that a lot more then we do.

Pray for them...

they work so hard.

The same moon we have here shines at home...

 There is one moon in the center...

The one to the left is the parking lot light...

No District Meeting this week.

It was President's interviews and training.

That is always a wonderful experience...

 The Elders heading back to their work...

 Elder Cook has an Uncle in Orlando...

Halloween for the district.

We took the sisters home and stopped to eat...

None of us had eaten since breakfast so we would eat about anything...

 Alligator appetizers....

 Sisters McClain and Barlow have their first taste of 'gator'...

Big news...

 Four bears roaming Ormand...

 This sign made me cry...

Saturday Elder Neil Anderson came for a Mission Conference...

We had several speakers but Elder Anderson was the main person to address us. 

Sister Hall had pictures taken but we couldn't get our personal pictures.

If we get a news letter the picture will be there.

The close of a beautiful day...

There are so many out there who plead and pray for help.

There are those who are discouraged, 

those who long to return but who don't know how to begin...

Let us have ready hands,

clean hands, 

and willing hearts,

that we may participate in providing what...

our Heavenly Father would have others receive from Him.
(President Thomas S Monson)
