So Much to Do and So LIttle Time

It was a busy week of Megazone Conferences.  We always love them but they tend to wear us out. 

Train on the Williamsburg Bridge

Thursday was my birthday, which we spent in Brooklyn Conference—once we finally got there that is.  On the way, we took the wrong fork in the road (easy to do even after travelling there 15 or 20 times).   As soon as we realized our mistake it was too late.  We were on the Williamsburg Bridge and headed for Lower Manhattan in the morning rush hour.  Marc claims he just took the scenic route for my birthday.  We did eventually find our way and enjoyed a working at conference.  The best part was when all the missionaries stood and sang Happy Birthday to me!  It was great.  My kids and grandkids called with birthday wishes and were all very good to me—especially my companion (who is always good to me).

Fridays are the highlight of our week.  After working in the office we get to go to Flushing for Bible Study class.  It is generally just two elders, Jay and Marc and me.  It is so nice to just sit and discuss the scriptures with adults.  We teach youth and teens on Sundays, which is fun but it’s a nice change to talk with adults.

Today in Primary we all said goodbye to Elder & Sister Harris who are completing their Temple Mission.  The leaders had forgotten it was Fast Sunday and had brought cake.  Some of us saved ours for later.  We also some group pictures with Sister Harris.  We will miss having an organist in Sacrament Meeting and a pianist in Primary!  She made the kids promise that at least four of them would take music lessons.

The days and weeks are just flying by and it is hard to believe we only have a little over 4 months left!  This has just become our life and as excited as we are to be with our family again, we will be sad to leave our wonderful friends here.

We love our office elders.  Elder Sutherland and Elder Johnson

I can't believe this came this week.  Time is flying way too fast!
