Well, we thought after the big last week things would slow down....not much.  Monday the Holtrys traded us shifts and we were able to go to the Log Cabin in Burton, OH where they make maple syrup and candies.  They were able to explain about the process of collecting the sap from the trees, cooking it and making the real maple syrup, which by the way is quite expensive.  It takes about 50 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.  It was very informative. We see the buckets or plastic bags hanging on the trees so they are starting the collection process.  Only happens in North America and only in the early spring when the sap flows in the maple trees before they begin to leaf out. Also visited another antique mall and then came home, had lunch, cheese sandwiches with some of the Hot pepper Jack cheese we had purchased earlier.  YUUUUMMMM.  After that she headed for Akron and her flight and we went to work at the Johnson Home.  We truly loved our visit with her, was a special weekend and fun surprise.  Glad it worked out with the Holtrys so we had the time with her.
Wednesday we went into Kirtland for the dentist again.  Just a consult but still another hour trip into Kirtland.  We have had 4 really special tours this week.  One was a family with some small boys.  Another was a girl and her aunt.  The girl is attending BYU Idaho and is thinking mission but not sure.  We gave her name to some of the sister missionaries and they will be calling her....  Both of them told of their conversion and shared healing experiences and testimonies.  Another one was a group of three women who had come to celebrate a birthday, one has been inactive but has come back into activity.  The one woman told of her mother who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given weeks to live.  She had a blessing by her sons, husband and friends and the next morning the doctor could not find any sign of the cancer.  She is now in her 90's and going strong. Another couple from Idaho had just been released from their mission to the girls camp at Heber.  They were so excited to visit the Johnson Home and kept saying over and over how much their testimonies were strengthened by being able to visit the places where these special events took place.  We invite visitors to share testimonies of healing when we tell the story of Elsa Johnson's arm healing and then again in the revelation room where Joseph received over 20 known revelations, the Father and Son appeared and the Savior appeared several times and conversed with them.  Many are really touched and share beautiful testimonies which only strengthens our testimonies and makes us so grateful for the opportunity to serve here. 
Saturday we went to a baptism for a young father in our ward, Ryan Lynn.  His wife is a member and he finally knew that he needed to be baptised.  It was a special baptism and so many were there to support him.  He just glowed.  We came home from that and served our shift at the Home.  Then we went back down to Ravenna to meet with Sis Alexander to try and get something going with the older singles in our ward.  She is so excited and hopefully we can help and support her to get something going.  Today it was back to the ward.  It had snowed during the night so the roads were snowy and slushy, made it just fine however...  We had a missionary correlation meeting and then ward council.  As we reported on our singles goals several of the council were getting excited and offered to help.  We might get something going yet.  It has been a good week.  We are feeling good, loving the work and staying happy.
