Well, this has been a long dry spell.  It is so frustrating when the computer isn't as smart as you think it ought to be and won't do what you want it to do.  We are still having troubles but hopefully things will get better.  We finally broke down and purchased a lap top so we can use it part of the time.  We have been really slow at the Johnson Home this month, glad when we can get 2-4 tours on our shift.  There have been no big groups, mostly couples, so numbers don't add up very fast. 
We traveled to Youngstown one p-day and visited a historic mill, did a bit of hiking, crossed a suspension bridge and walked through some awesome gardens.





 
We have had a special mission tour with Elder Bowen of the Seventy.  It was a super good meeting, just a bit hard to sit for 4 1/2 hours.  Lots of good advice, encouragement and suggestions on how to make things grow in our mission as we meet and teach. 
We also had a corn roast at the home of Bill and Shirley Mars for our Singles activity this month.  Only two singles showed up but boy did we have a feast.  Yummy corn, hot dogs and great company.
