Dear
Family & Friends,
Last Sunday evening we had the
Cahoons over for dinner and really enjoyed eating, visiting, and playing
games. We will surely miss them when
they leave this next Friday!! We also
visited with Joseph and his children, Christi and her kids, and Shelley.
Monday I ordered iPads for the
missionaries due to come in October 11th and got them late in the
week—boy! That was fast!! Also worked on phone numbers in our
email/text-to-phone address book. That
took most of the day. We visited with
Brent on his way home from work, ate a quick dinner at home, then went to see
the movie, “Sully.” It was a great movie
and so glad we took the time to see it.
Tuesday, Wed., and Thurs. the
Cahoons were gone to Memphis so it was quieter than usual. Sister H was with us Tuesday but left Wed. at
noon to fly to SLC for a granddaughter’s wedding on Friday. I got letters out to the October missionaries
who are in the MTC now, worked on Mission Memories binders. The best news was we hit the jackpot—3 Senior
couples came in our email!!!
Hooray!!! One come in October and
will be here for 6 months, one will be our new Office Couple. They will come the middle of December and be
here for 18 months. One comes in
February and will stay a year. We are so
thrilled!!!!!
So Wednesday I processed the
recommends, finishing them on Thursday.
Lots to do to get them all done.
I took some packages to the post office to be mailed, then went to get
my hair cut. Sent out some letters, took
care of some phone calls and emails. In
the evening did the laundry.
Thursday was weird with everyone
gone except Jim and me. We worked all
day on a variety of things. I did a lot
of printing of things like our Mission History that goes in the binders. We have been a mission for 41 years. Last year President Wakolo was in charge of a
big mission anniversary party and several previous mission presidents and
missionaries came to celebrate, too. It
is fun to look at those photos. Also had
a good visit with a cousin who just found out she has breast cancer and will
have a “new normal” for the next year of varying treatments. Our prayers go out to her that she will make
it through with as little discomfort as possible.
Friday the Cahoons were back and it was
good to have them back in the Office. I cleaned the women’s restroom and dusted, and
Jim cleaned the men’s restroom as he does every Friday. I took a lot of media orders for Sister H,
typed up the Departure letters that are to be put in their binders, and worked
on my calendar for the next two months. At
10:30 Jim & I drove to our grandkids’ elementary school and had lunch with
Harper at 11:15 and Bram at 12:15. We
also went with them to the Book Fair where we bought some books for them and
for Gary (they got to choose theirs). We
went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant, did our grocery shopping, and went home
to relax. I started sucking on Coldeze
as I felt a cold coming on.
Saturday I continued with the
Coldeze and still felt good enough to attend Bram’s game (he played well but
they still lost), did vacuuming and dusting at home, did budget stuff, took
naps, cleaned up, and left at 4:30 to pick up Michelle and take her out to
dinner. We went to Applebees and enjoyed
good food. Then we went to the church to
eat some cheesecake (lots of different kinds), and watch the broadcast of Women’s
Session of General Conference. I had to
leave early to go pick up Sister Hugentobler.
Her plane was late coming in, but we got home fine. She is suffering from laryngitis!!
Today I did not feel good so stayed
home from church. Jim went. I took naps and read and watched some BYUTV
(thank heavens for that!!). It made me
sad not to partake of the sacrament and join in the fellowship of the Saints,
and also sad because I wasn’t up to going to Bram’s 10th birthday
celebration. I am glad I got to give him
a big hug on Friday!
Hope you are all well and happy!
Love, Elder & Sister Hartzell
