ONLY .....SHOPPING DAYS

                                                                 Fall from my office

So...I keep seeing all of these "only 49 more shopping days until Christmas" posts and signs.  I think I'm putting all of that out of my mind!  I'm not really sure what Christmas will be like out in the mission field.  We've already decided we won't have a tree and I'm pretty sure it will be a quiet day.  I hope you're all going to have the family party...so we can see the pictures and pretend we were there.  I truly thought about going out for Thanksgiving but the Sisters didn't have anywhere to go, so they're going to come over.  I warned them, it would be small scale as I have very limited counter space but it will be good.

This is Sister Shepherd.  While her companion, Sister Cook, was visiting with me, she closed her eyes "for a minute"  We definitely  keep them busy...I'm sure they all could use a nap!

Some of the Elders saying good bye to the ones leaving last Wed.  They form such bonds with each other, it's hard to say good bye.  What's been fun for me is to see how many still hang out with each other after they've been released.    ( Elder and Sister Prior in the foreground).





Our burglar has been identified!  He's not the sharpest tack in the box.  Like I said before, he was on camera here at the office most of the time, with some pretty good pictures.  He stole a used I pad and then proceeded to take pictures of friends and a couple of really good selfies, after which he pawned it.  The pawn shop owner got suspicious and gave the I pad to the police.  So they've matched the pictures, plus some taken at Kroger while trying to use the gas credit cards.   Sounds like he is a frequent flier and they have a warrant out for his arrest now.
