We enjoyed going to Stake Conference this morning. One lady spoke on family history and getting her names ready for the temple. It has rained on and off all day. There is a storm out in the ocean, but so far has just given us rain. We have to travel to the Flager Chapel again tomorrow afternoon, so I am hoping we don't have to drive in the rain.
We got to speak to our first person to travel to the Orlando Temple with his family names. He had a wonderful time and was so excitied about what he had accomplished. Our meeting tomorrow is with three people that have names they are working on for the temple.
We get to meet with three more Family History Center Directors next Wednesday evening, down in North Miami Beach. Last Friday we met with the Miami Beach Chapel on the bay. Such a beautiful setting. We took the elders to dinner at Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine. We had black beans and rice and pork stew. It was really good! I'll have to take back every naughty thing I have said about black beans.
Chris would have been proud of me. I ate all of them.
We will have to stay on apartment inspection until December. The next senior missionary couple is coming down from Canada and is having problems with their visas. I didn't think we would enjoy that assignment nearly as much as we do. The missionaries really enjoyed the cookies we took them. They even took the red licoirce we had and didn't want.
Saturday afternoon the mail person delivered us a box of tortillas from Nancy. We had told her how bad the tortillas are down here, so she sent some from home. She even found some from Santa Rosa California. We ripped them open and devoured six until we couldn't eat any more. They reminded me of living in California as a child and having Angie our housekeeper make them fresh for the farm workers. I got to eat what I whated first with butter and salt. What wonderful memories. Thank you, Nancy! You made our day.
This week brought a new challenge. The Condo Sales office is telling us we have to move out of this apartment and into one on the other side of the project. They say we make to much money. We meet with them again tomorrow. I really like this condo and don't want to move, and I can't see where they are coming from. I want to know what figures they are using. This saga may go on for serveral weeks. So I'll write more later.
We got a box of pictures and letters from Chip's family. We are working on our scrape book pages. It is fun to look at them and see how the kids are growing.
