The weeks continue to pass by quickly. At the office I’m kept busy putting out
little fires here and there, and reviewing and approving contracts. I’ve met a couple of times with various members
of the area presidency this week to discuss a tax case and a stalking case I’m
working on. Alisa is meeting every other
week with Elder Yamashita’s wife to give her English lessons.
Wednesday evening we were invited to dinner at the Whatcott’s
apartment, along with the Pols. We enjoyed
the food and company.
Friday after work I re-potted my 2 tomato vines into bigger
pots. In fact I have 8 or 9 cherry tomatoes
on one plant. I have them and the
zucchini plant out on our patio to get plenty of sunshine and rain water.
Saturday morning Alisa and I helped out on a service project
for the YSA ward. We went over to Anthony’s
house with the young folks and spent a couple of hours cleaning up the back
yard. We filled up a trailer with brush
and cuttings. We didn’t stick around for
the bbq afterwards. Instead we stopped
by a fruit market and a meat market and a Japanese food store we saw on the
drive there. We actually stocked up on
lamb, pork and some beef, best prices I’ve seen. We ran into one of our YSA girls there with
her father and I think she appreciate being recognized. We dropped our groceries by the apartment and fixed lunch. Since it was 1 p.m. by this time, we decided
to just visit a close by park. So we
drove about 30 minutes to Wenderholm Regional park. There were sheep and lambs there, it is
lambing season. We hiked along the beach
there, the water was fairly warm, so I took my shoes and socks off and just
walked through the surf. Then we took a
hike along the bluffs and had some beautiful views from up there. In total we hiked around 5 miles. Back home again in the evening, I prepared my
lesson for my How to Start your own Business class, which I will facilitate
after church today. Today’s lesson will
be the half way point, and we are still getting around 10 students per class. Church starts soon so I’d better start
getting ready.
