Nellie;s Visit

The young elders are always looking for ways to become more effective missionaries. This week they worked on their appearance in general and shining their shoes in particular. They were so happy with the job they did that I just had to take a picture. The elders are so inspiring.

This cemetery is veryclose to our chapel and they put out hundreds of flags for memorial weekend. The view was so striking that we had to stop and take some pictures. There were lots of people just walking around and looking at the flags. I'm glad we have a time to remember those who have served our country so well.

Our daughter came for a visit. It was wonderful to see her and our granddaughter Riley. They are of the modern generation and spend a lot of time with the various electrons that are available. Riley loves her I-Pad. She is learning her numbers, colors, shapes etc. She also watches movies and plays games. Nellie has one of those magic phones that does everything. It even gives her directions as she is driving.

We tried to help Riley find some non-electronic entertainment. This was her favorite. Even though we attempted to show her how make them golden brown she seemed to find a way to light them on fire. The fun part was then having grandmas help her blow them out. The usually went on until we ran out of marshmellows. She is a delightful child and we were very glad to have her visit.
