TRAINING ;)

This week begins our formal training of Elder and Sister Crowe.  Sister Crowe is a retired RN who was a L&D nurse for 35 years.  To say she's a little nervous dealing with young men and women is an understatement.  I'm sure she'll do just fine, it just takes time to feel comfortable in any job!  Elder Crowe was in the Merchant Marines and took big container ships around the world.

Our first day of training was yesterday and she left kind of dazed.  But she'll catch on just fine.  She will be working from the office M-W-F and the rest of the time from home.  I know Sister Hughes is concerned about her being available but Sister Crowe has assured her she will be.

So Sunday night, we're getting ready to turn out the light and we hear this huge crash upstairs.  The people up there are pretty noisy but this was really loud.  Don called up, "are you okay" and we didn't hear back, and the dog wasn't barking.  I looked outside thinking maybe the tree in front of the house had crashed, but it was still there.  Then, when we were coming home from the office yesterday, I noticed it wasn't the tree in front of the house...but the one the one just south of it!

It split apart and damaged the roof .  I'm not sure if the people upstairs were home or not when it happened but it was so loud in our apartment, I can't imagine what it was like in theirs!  The trees out here sure lose a lot of limbs and split like this.  I wonder if it's because there is so much rain and they just get saturated.  However...the weather person said the other night that we would be getting rain to "help with the drought".  They have no idea!!!

This is what the view through our car window was like yesterday.  It did rain some the night before but most of the condensation was just humidity!

Not a lot to report this week.  Next week will be Zone Conferences so there will be more to come, I'm sure.

The Church is true, the Lord loves His children and wants us to all be kind to one another!
