We have had an eventful week..  Two more accidents,  luckily the cars were parked and the elders were not in them , one  was hit by a school bus and the other a woman backed into their    car.  Sunday am.  Elder Slade got a call , the Elders thought their car was stolen .          But  it had been towed because they got a different car assigned to them and they forgot to get their parking sticker.  so   150 dollars later all is well.

We had a gr eat day yesterday. Primary program was      very good.  Made me    homesick for the grand kids


These leaves were  collected on our walk the other day.  There is a trail here called the MONON . It goes about    19 miles.  It is tree lined and so much fun to walk.

On Friday , We offered an incentive for the Zone Leaders to come by the office and visit us.  We have little contact with the missionaries , so we were trying to find an incentive.   Brownies, chic. chip cookies, pumpkin cookies, peanut butter bars and some home made cinnamon rolls.  For each Zone leader companionship that was the 1st to report their baptisms for the week,, got their own pan of cinnamon rolls. to take home besides.  it was fun to have them come by. 
Below we are with Elder Ketch {one]


Metemora, on Sat. 

We went to Metamora, Franklin, Indiana . This is the place that GrandMother Ruby's grandmother. was born.  Her Father from the Peter Pelsor line.   They the Pelsors came from the ever so famous Morgans from Vermont.  
I am thinking that  someone in the spirit world is bothering me.  I have no idea how to do genealogy while serving a mission.  This is way more busy that I expected.  I am having trouble sleeping at night . It was a beautiful trip and a beautiful area.  Y ou could all most imagine them walking in this area .
