Week 3: We drove on the roads!!

Our weekdays are pretty busy. We start out at 7:45(ish) at a prayer meeting with the Foys. We take turns doing thoughts and prayer. We are out by 8:00 am, and I go with Sister Foy. We have been cleaning and painting the houses as renters leave to prepare for new renters. Steve goes with Elder Foy, and they have done a variety of things, from repairs to painting and mowing. It’s been “unseasonably warm” here and the locals “aren’t used to this heat and don’t like it this warm” (hear that said with a cockney accent!) 😉 It has been in the 80’s since we arrived! Typically they have 1-2 weeks in August where it’s warm. We are still waiting to be cooled down by the rain! We told them we left 100+degrees in Utah, hoping to get a reprieve here! They said, “be careful what you wish for!! Just remember that in January-February, you’ll freeze!” 😂



Saturday we went to the London Temple with the Foys, Pat and Howard. We love them already! They are so sweet, patient and kind. Great to work with too! ♥️ They will be here for 6 months more, then go home to Panguitch, UT. Then WE will have to train a new couple! I hope we are ready!! Steve drove to church Sunday, and did really well! We didn’t even get lost or hit anyone! We also got a new calling, to teach primary. We will teach together, the Senior Primary, which is 10 kids, age 8-12. They have another class of the younger children. We will also do Activity Days twice a month for both girls and the boys. They don’t have cubscouts here so they invite the boys too. It will  be fun!

Today I finally drove, but just down the road a bit! Nothing too exciting, but Sister Foy looked nervous as I tried to see how close I could get to the left edge of the road.  Maybe she doesn’t like the thistles that grabbed our car. 😊 Well, we love being here and serving in this capacity. We can’t wait to see what new adventures we will have!!
