Bob: Today was Stake Conference at church. The meeting was in Sudbury, which is about 179 miles away, or about 3.5 hours. They were video conferencing the meeting to our Branch, so we didn't drive down. However, the connection wasn't very good so got the sound only. There were some good talks though. Afterwards we went to Brother Sauve's for lunch and visited with 4 members of the Branch that don't get to church often. Then on the way home we stopped at another camp to take a look. It has possibilities, but we still prefer Elk Cabins.
It's hard to believe that a week from today we are leaving. Spent some time tonight trying to figure out our schedule for visits. We will arrive in New Martinsville on September 22nd and stay with Florence and Ken Loy until we leave. Planning on attending the Magnolia game on Friday night with Wheeling Central.
Bonnie: So today, because many in our Branch went to Sudbury to conference, there were four men and four women to see the broadcast. It was interesting singing together, kind of like a small choir, NOT! The talks were enjoyable. One of the older sisters there today is very deaf. I asked her what she heard and she said that all she heard was static! How frustrating for her. But she said she feels the Spirit so that helps. Brother Suave, bless his heart, fed us again today. It was omelettes and fruit. A very nice lunch. Then, as Bob wrote, we had some very good visits. We visited Fred, the man in the nursing home who has had a stroke, for the last time today. We gave him a 5 x 7 picture of the Savior. He cried again when I told him about the Savior's love for him. I hated to tell him good-bye! Then we saw two older sisters. We ended our visits with a family we've been anxious to see. They are moving soon so it was good we found them. Now we can update the records. They may have been lost totally to the Branch if we did not find them home today. Then we checked out another camp on the way home. I still like Elk Cabins the best.
I can't believe this will be our last week here. There is so much to do. This week, I'm trying to prepare all the food I have bought, at least as much as possible. We will have two more nights of fish, although Bob is getting tired of fixing it. Maybe he will let me cook it! No, on second thought, probably not. He's very particular about how it's done. Then, there is the ordeal of preparing a talk for Sunday. That will take me some time! And we have our last visits in Kirkland Lake on Wednesday and maybe Thursday. It will be a good, happy, busy week.
