New missionaries

> Hi everyone!
> Well we have been very busy.
> On Friday we left Fruit Heights at 7:30 am and went as far as
> Winnemucca before we stopped to eat and get gas. Then we pushed on to
> Ione arriving there about 6 pm. Ron was there to greet us and later on
> we saw Chris and Lou, and Wes Eckhart and his two boys. We had dinner
> with Ron and left the next morning about 8 am.
> We got to the apartment about 10 and met the McIntyres, from New
> Mexico. He was in the Albuquerque temple presidency. This is their
> third mission. They helped us carry our stuff in and then we met with
> Pres Wade. Sister Wade had a frozen casserole ready for us for Sunday
> dinner which was very thoughtful of her. We had a great visit with
> Pres Wade and then we met the young missionaries who have been doing
> what we will. I met with Elder Harmon from Maryland and Dad met with
> Elder Liu from Taiwan. Both were very sharp young men. I was pretty
> tired by the time we said we couldn't think straight anymore, so they
> took pity on us and let us go. We came back to the apartment and did a
> little more then made a major trip to Target to get some food and a
> few necessities to tide us over Sunday. We came back and organized
> until about 11:00, then fell into bed. A pretty hard bed by the way.
> That problem will be solved on Monday with a trip to Bed Bath and
> Beyond.
> We got up early like we usually do, and organized some more. I'll send
> pictures later. We are now headed to go to the Oakland 9th ward.
> Monday is the Elders P day, so hopefully I can get the office figured
> out a little bit more. Right now it's a little bit overwhelming.
> Tuesday new missionaries and transfers happen. The mission averages
> about 10-15 baptisms a week with about 200 Elders, 82 cars, and a
> billion other details that the office needs to keep track of.
> It's a lot cooler here than at home. We could see the fog bank as we
> came over the mountain and the temperature dropped. Later on the fog
> lifted and it was pretty nice. Right now we have no air conditioning
> or heating. But haven't needed it.
> I hope Mav gets to feeling better. Be sure to take Picts. He'll love
> them later on. Take pity on Ben and Libby, there's no way they can
> keep up the grandma cupboard and the popsicles. Marie we need picts
> of your new home. Good luck in your new ward!
> Well it's off to our new ward. The word everyone uses to describe it
> is "interesting". So I guess well see how that goes.

> Love ya!
