September Went by in a Blur


September came and went so fast, we don't know what happened to the time.  The flower garden above was done for Canada's 150th birthday.  We saw 2 or 3 just like it around town.
Another trip downtown to the farmer's market.  The produce here is amazing.
We had a nice visit with my family one Saturday.  This is my cousin, Kim, my Aunt Colleen, my  cousin, Debbie, and Kim's son, Spencer.  It was so good to see them and catch up on family news.  I got a bit of information to help me do a bit on Aunt Colleen's line for genealogy.  We hope to get together again soon.  Spencer liked the brownies that I made.  He finished the plate.



This was a stroll around the temple after Church the last week of September.  The flowers are still so pretty.













The group photo is the office staff as it was.  From left to right:  Elder Wolfley (Finance & Apartments), Sister Wolfley (Referrals, Baptisms & Supplies), Sister Cannon (Medical Assistant), Elder Cannon (Medical Adviser). Sister Swendsen (Mission Secretary) and Elder Swendsen (Vehicle Coordinator).  We have served with these two wonderful couples since we arrived her on January 30, 2017.  They have become our dear friends. 

October is a sad month for us.  Elder and Sister Cannon (on the left) left for  home to Tennessee on Friday, October 5th.  We will miss them dearly.  On the good side, we now have Elder and Sister Donnelly (on the right) as their replacements.  They have quickly become dear friends as well.

This Coming week is transfer week which will be super busy for all of us.  We got a new AP (Assistant to the President), as one AP is going home.

This is the group as of last Wednesday - left to right - Elder Shu (going home in December and going back out into the field on Tuesday), Elder McBride, and Elder McBeth (the new kid on the block).  I gave Elder Shu a new name to match his companions.  He is now Elder McShu.  He loves it.  We will miss him in the office.

Our new APs in the office:  Elder McBride & Elder McBeth
