It has been over a week since I had the first set of injections around my eye sockets. For the most part I can see better. I think there is a little bruising around the sides of my eyes, but Elder Graff doesn't think so. I go back to the doctor on March 3 for a check up. In the later part of the day, when I am tired, I have to fight to see and keep my eyes open. But in the mornings, I feel great. I am grateful that we know what the trouble is. It would be nice to have these injections be a one time thing, but that is not the case. So only time will tell.

We are working with a non member at the mission office tomorrow afternoon. She walked into the office Friday afternoon and started asking all sorts of questions about finding out about her family history. I started her in Roots Magic and we listed 14 brothers and sisters for her from the same parents. She had to call her sister for a little help with who was the oldest, but what a family.

We have appointments at the Ft Lauderdale Chapel Tuesday, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. We have started taking two boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts with us to the Chapel and the young missionaries are bringing us the people to teach. Bribery goes a long way!

We have a very tall lady from the group home across the street from the chapel, show up as soon as we get the car unloaded. As soon as she gets her doughnut, she goes home. Maybe we'll get to teach her one of these days. The missionaries say she comes over every time she sees cars pull into the parking lot. She has learned that the Mormons always have food.

  1. I miss you both! I hope your eyes will do better, Dixon. And I wish my boy were in your mission being fed good food and enjoying your good company instead of in the Amazon eating cow intestines & what-not:)
