This is Harold and I. We stopped at his house on our way to Key West. He was able to take three names to the Orlando Temple. He was then able to do 15 more baptisms and many confirmations. It was fun watching his expression as he saw his family names in print. Now we only have 699 more people to teach and probably 70 more by the end of the month.

The trip to Key West took longer than we thought. Most of the drive was on two lanes and the speed limit was only 45.

We stayed at the Continental Inn on Marathon Island. Our room was the closest to the beach, just right of the chairs in the picture.

I went swimming the next morning. It was cool, but a lot of fun. The two women setting in the chairs that morning asked how I could swim when it was SO COLD. The air temperature was at least 83. I told them I was use to water a lot colder than that.

We are making -plans to drive down again after December 1. Our visits to the Family History Centers did not go as planned. The entire mission area is going to hooked up to Internet cable and we will enjoy the capability of a webinar with the Family History Centers. Our Hollywood Ward has been given the green light to become a Family History Center and we hope to a part of the staffing process.

My debut as the pianist for Relief Society went better than I had thought, but I am a long way from doing more than one song for their meetings. My key board will allow me to practice but it is not like playing an actual piano. Wish we had Delora Hunt here to teach someone in the ward how to play hymns. I think the pianos know the songs, it's just that the player can't make the fingers find the notes. Brother Torsok told me today, "keep looking, the right keys are there somewhere."

We met with a family of four Wednesday evening at their home. The young lady had cooked dinner for us and the three missionaries. It was very good. Being fed by the members was not one of blessings that I even had thought of. We were able to get her registered into New Family Search and start her family history in Roots Magic. We give them a disc with their names on it after our meeting, then they can import that into their computer and continue working on filling in the data.

Last Monday evening we were invited to dinner with the Mortensen Family. After dinner we had Family Home Evening with their four kids at home. they have a daughter on a mission and one that is attending college in Hawaii.
