Corless Connection - 10 October 2010 - Sterling Heights, Michigan


Dear Family,
Today is 10/10/10. 
Brazil - Mom arrived in Rio Grande, Brazil safe and sound and with much joy of her family. Her journey went very well, only one flight was delayed (2 hours) due to fog in Porto Alegre. Amelita told Dad how grateful she is for Mom’s visit. Mom has a way to bringing “light and joy” wherever she goes. We are all grateful for her safe arrival and hope all goes well during the visit.
Fixit - After taking Mom to the airport and seeing her get through security, Dad visited Dan & Holli and helped fix a bunk bed (Josh was so happy for the improved sleeping arrangement) and install a lighted ceiling fan over the dining table (so much for the dimly lit romantic dinners).  One might say Dad brought some “light and joy” to the Allen Park Corless tribe. 
Saturday, After the 10 mile bike ride with Vanessa, watching Preston, Jacob, Sophia and Rex for a couple of hours, and attending a Joshua, Preston, Jacob roller hockey game (coached by Jim & Tyler), Dad got cleaned up and attended the wedding reception for Pete & Rachel Cannon with Ryan & Maureen. Pete is the one that helped Ryan do all the electircal wiring for the basement project. President Lantz was there alone and sat with us. His wife was helping the with move of one of their sons to Atlanta.  Dad told him he is getting new member in the stake - Grandma Sparks.
Mover - Grandma Sparks is scheduled to arrive in Detroit on Monday the 18th and the movers with all her stuff should arrive within a few days.   Dad is scheduled to get the condo keys on the 11th so it will be ready for her arrival. Dad met the condo association president and told him about Mom coming. He and the other neighbors are excited to have her come because the it has been unocccupied for 5 years. We are all hoping for the move to go smoothly for Grandma Sparks.
We love y’all,
Mom & Dad
