Today we had a day of visiting. We have been so busy with other things, we
haven’t been able to visit as much this week.
We started the day with a visit for the purpose of doing an insurance
form for a couple whose car we put a little scratch on edging through a tight
street. They were a very nice couple, a
little older than us. We met their adult
grandsons as well. We told them some
things about the church. The lady
offered us some tea or coffee and we were able to share our beliefs about the
Word of Wisdom. They didn’t know much
about our church. The lady was
Catholic. Her grandson said it was so
refreshing to find people who are honest in the world. Even though they weren’t interested in
learning more, I feel that we left a very positive impression of our church and
perhaps some day one of them will receive our young missionaries into their
home because of their experience with us.
We had two appointments cancel on us, but
were able to have a good visit with Mae, a lovely 97 year old member of the
ward in a care center. We brought our
computer so she could hear a conference talk.
She was very worried about her nephew who was in the hospital. We had a prayer with her and I think it
lightened her burden. We visited
another older couple that gave us a warm welcome into their home. After we visited for a few minutes we
realized that they had mistaken us for someone else. The woman whose name was on the records of
the church, had no memory of being baptized. They said they attended another church, so we
apologized for the mix-up and we were on our way. We had left-overs for dinner from the
Thanksgiving dinner we made for the sisters yesterday. Left-overs are such a life saver on such busy
days. We had nice visits with two other
ward members in the evening. We are
grateful at the close of the day for these good visits.

| We watched these men do a dangerous job across the street from our flat. Trees flourish here with all the rain, so they have to be trimmed back. |

| Craig and I visited Manchester on Monday. It was cold but sunny. |
