Awe...what a winter!  They keep telling us this is the year for a hard winter.  Well, today it was 64 degrees.  All the snow is gone and the grass is green and it is wonderful outside.  They have threatened us with heavy rain but hasn't bothered us.  However, our temp is supposed to drop later in the week so we will see how nice it is then.  
Last week was a different one.  We had an interview with our Mission President, Pres Valinga on Tuesday afternoon.  We served at the Johnson Home in the morning then drove to Kirtland for that.  We enjoyed our visit with him and no he didn't say anything about sending us home.  Guess we are okay.  After that we did a bit of shopping and then met at the Petersons and had dinner with them and the Palmers and of course played some games.  Was a fun evening.  We stayed there with the Petersons, I got a blessing and then we were at the dentists at 8 the next morning.  I had a big molar break off and so had to have it pulled.  It turned out to be quite a process, was in the chair for over an hour.  However, in my blessing I was promised that there would be no pain and I have had that come to pass.  I did take 2 big IB but other than that only tylenol.  I was really concerned so consider this a real blessing.  We then served at the home all day on Thursday as the Holtrys had to go into Kirtland for their interview.  Then the rest of the week has been as usual.  However, we were asked to talk in church today so we did some talk preparation.  Our talks today turned out really well and we had several comments about them so hopefully it was the message that was wanted.  We are being accepted and pulled in more and more.  We were given a list of over 30 single adults they want us to begin working with to see if we can get some activity.  Looks like a process to us, should be interesting.  The Hiram sisters were at the Holtrys for dinner tonight so they invited us as well.  Yummy and I didn't have to cook.  After the sisters left we played a couple of games and here we are.  Sorry no pictures this week....wasn't in the mood.  We did have 5 tours on Saturday that were special, course that was after none for the whole week. 
We had a new bishopric sustained in the Cleveland 2nd ward today.  Bp Guymon was released and Bp Jim Jennings was sustained with Hans Peterson and Kendall O'Neil as counselors.  They are all relatively young families that have moved into the ward. Should be a great group and we are excited for them....Have a great week, everyone....
