Sunday 1st
Dear Family,
We have enjoyed another week of service and eating.
Missionary Lunch - Mom and her crew of sisters successfully planned and executed an excellent Lasagna lunch for a multi-zone missionary conference held at the Stake Center on Friday. Mom served them salad, found out where each missionary was from and convinced each one of how good the salad was for them. Remembering how special the members in Corpus Christi made us feel at the zone conference lunches, Mom really wanted to make it nice for them. A senior couple indicated this was the best lunch they ever had at a zone conference, which made Mom's day because she really wanted it to be something special for these servants of the Lord. It was good for us to be with and feel the spirit the missionaries again, even for these few minutes.
Breakfast and Brunch – Monday Mom went to a brunch at Vanessa's celebrating Maureen's birthday, and Dad went to breakfast at Big Boy with four friends from Ford. Good food and good people. Thursday, Dad played racquetball with a couple friends from Ford. The exercise was exhausting but they enjoy getting together for a good workout and a good breakfast.
Pizza Party at Stebar's – We have not been home for Halloween for three years now, but we know how to have fun with friends regardless of where we are. Mom phoned (“we are invited to a Halloween Party at your/Stebar's home and are calling to RSVP”) and so invited ourselves to Stebar's for a little Halloween pizza party. We and they had a good time eating and sharing a couple of hours together.
Temple - We went to the Temple for an Endowment session on Tuesday evening. Mom was proxy for her mother's sister Amalia (we finally got the record straight with a pink/female slip) and Dad was proxy for an ancestor of Sister Barlow. It was good to be in the House of the Lord, even for just couple of hours.
Love y'all, Mom & Dad
