FALL. IT'S HERE. I THINK...

Thursday morning and the temp when leaving our apartment was thirty-seven.  Thirty-three at the office. So...I think Fall has finally found Kentucky.  I keep hearing how beautiful it is in the fall, but so far it's been kind of hit-and-miss.  Elder and Sister Prior will be heading west today to Evansville for some surprise apartment inspections and she said she'd let me know if there are any photo opportunities that direction.  Maybe we can go exploring this weekend.  These "surprise inspections" are only a surprise to the first apartment they go to.  After that...the "mission pipeline" is activated and everyone else knows they're on the way!

 These pictures were all taken on our way home from the office, in the park we drive through.

We loved seeing the pictures of Sister Aleesa Breinholt returning yesterday!  How exciting for her family and how great to see her smiling face as she got home.  We're proud of the service she did while in Houston (and you know there was a lot of it recently).

I was having a hard time trying to decide what to get Elder Breinholt for his birthday this year.  I finally decided I'd buy him a baseball bat from the Louisville Slugger Museum.  He'd mentioned that he'd like one as his souvenir from KY.  So...we're going to go to the museum and plant where they make them and he can pick one out.  He wants one with the Dodgers logo on it and they will even engrave it for you.  So...mission accomplished!  I'm not making his usual carrot cake for Sunday because Sister Prior is making him one to have on Monday here in the office.  She is a fantastic baker!  I did bake a cheesecake for last Sunday when we had the Sisters over for dinner.  It turned out great...I was worried.

Well...the weekend was busy.  Saturday we went to a baptism of a 79 year old woman, named Peggy,that the sister missionaries taught.  She is so sweet.  They...the two sisters and Peggy...sang How Great Thou Art.  And it was really nice.  Saturday evening I took Don out to Rafferty's ( a steak house) for dinner and then at 7:30, we met the sisters at Terry and Theresa's house for a lesson.  They are a couple that have been to church several times.  The temperature has been getting a lot cooler in the morning.  We haven't had any ice yet where we are, but the Priors and Flemings have both needed to scrape their windows one day.

This is one of our busy transfer weeks.  We have two missionaries coming this afternoon (they are two transfer missionaries) and 14 more around 4:00.  Then we go to the Mission Home (finally done with the renovations) for dinner tonight.  Tomorrow is transfers and it will be chaos outside from 10-2.  Then we leave for a 3:30 temple session, followed once again by dinner at the Mission Home.  By the time Wednesday rolls around, we're ready to crash!

Our newest missionaries...dinner
at the Mission Home, after a long day!







HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL!
