K-Lightful: We Keep A'going

I am almost better and now it's Dad's turn to be sick, but we keep a'going. We did our first flat inspection on Thursday. All the senior couples have been asked to inspect flats. We have 15 flats in our zone. We will do it once every three months. We have taken extra rest breaks in the last few weeks. Last week we attended the funeral for a woman we had been visiting in a care center. May had just turned 98. She had been a member of the church all of her life. She married later in life and never had children. We will always remember her as a lovely person. She always dressed like she was going to church. Her snow white hair always looked nice and she was cheerful, despite the fact that she was the last of her generation to leave mortality. It was a pleasure to visit her. She suffered a stroke in December and after that she lost most of her ability to speak. She was a great example of enduring to the end. I am glad to think of her being reunited with her husband and family members. Friday night we went bowling with the YSA in Liverpool. Dad and I did quite well, considering how long it has been since we have been bowling. We enjoyed the company of these young people. Saturday was the Chinese activity for chinese converts. We were supposed to bring food. Dad woke up sick on Saturday. I was able to get a ride with Hannah, one of the YSA and her father. He was kind enough to drop us of and come back to get us. It was a good activity at the new Manchester Institute building. Sunday was Mother's day in the UK. Dad managed to get me some flowers in spite of the fact that he was sick. It was very kind of him. We had the elders over for dinner, and a lady in her eighties, that has fed us on more than one occasion. I'm glad we could return her kindness to us. It was a nice dinner. Monday night, we attended family home evening for the YSA in Liver pool. Earlier in the day we had lunch with our district at Ikea. One of our sisters was finishing her mission so we had a little farewell lunch together. One of these days, we are both going to be well, and then we can accomplish more. We look forward to that.
