Wk 44 -- Calm Before Big Rush

We have about two more weeks until our second year missionaries return.  These are the ones that were here last year that will begin returning on the 21st.  A week after that, on the 28th the first of our new missionaries will arrive.  So, we think things are still a bit slow.  This was a pretty normal week, except for a few things that impacted the two of us.

On Monday we were responsible for family home evening.  We showed a movie titled, "Suites On the Loose."   Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but the  big thing was the treats.  Check out the counter full of fruits and vegetables.

Treats?

Wednesday we traveled about a hundred miles to a small ward in Hanna.  We had about 16 attend our presentation on family history.   We stopped in Rawlins to pick up a few groceries and finally made it home about 10:45 pm.

Thursday we got the privilege of doing Rah Rah.  It's always such a treat to get to clean the toilets. 😕

Saturday was our P-day.  Sister Smart and a couple of other Sisters went to Casper for a day of shopping.  Elder Smart stayed home and cleaned and watched movies.

Guess that does it for another week.  However before quitting, we thought we'd share a couple of pictures of our snow.  Our winter has been quite mild to what it is most years, but when it snows, it really snows and blows.

We hope this finds you all well and prospering.  We love our mission and hope you are enjoying the blessings of our serving here as much as we do.  We all have a marvelous heritage based, in part, on those who sacrificed so much that we might have what we do today and especially the blessings of the Gospel.

We dearly love you all,

Grandma & Grandpa, Mom & Dad, Annie & Paul, Sister & Elder Smart

Happy Birthday this week to Mikeala.

PS  Elder Smart just emptied the mouse trap with number 17 caught in this apartment.
