Random stuff

Not much to report on for this week, and I guess that is as it should be.  The Elders are too busy working hard to be spending time at home.  I think they leave the house around 9:00 or 10:00 and don't come home until 10:00 pm.  I might be exagerating, because I am at work quite often and don't know when they are here or not.  Yesterday I got home from work and mom had just made bread.  My 14 year old nephew came down about a half hour later and smelled the bread and then saw only two loaves of bread on the counter and jokingly complained that "you gave our loaf to the missionaries."  Mom said that they had not even been home to smell it, and that the missing loaf was at his house.  That's kind of funny, because there's a running joke that goes on where if Elder K. gets to the bread first then he says that he is glad that he got there before Sister Paxton could steal his loaf and the opposite is true when she gets there first.  It's all good though, because when the Elders did get home, Elder B. smelled the air and told Elder K.  "I think we need to go upstairs to investigate..."  and yes, they got their loaf too.  Hey, if we had all three loaves to ourselves they would just go bad, so it's great to share. 

Since I don't really have much to say today, I thought I would tell a sort of old story my nephew told me.  He was in the car with my sister and one of his friends who live next door to him.  As they were driving by my house my nephew told his friend that they were going to pull weeds at my house.  My nephew pointed to my house and there is where we are pulling weeds, the neighbor friend asked "Why are you pulling weeds at the missionaries house?" When his friend came in the house he thought that the missionaries had a very nice house, my nephew had to explain that they lived in the apartment in the basement.

Sorry, that's about all for now. 
Oh, I almost forgot.  This Wednesday is transfer day.  Since Elder K. has been here 9 months, I don't think there is much chance he will stay here, especially since he only has 3 months left of his mission and there is little chance they would transfer him for just a month and a half, so if he stays through this transfer, he might be able to stay for the remainder of his mission... Elder B. thinks it would be fun to "kill" his trainer. (I guess that means send him home).  I would be okay if he stayed 3 more months, because He and Elder B. are the hardest working Elders we have had, so far and they are being rewarded for it.  They have the potential to have a baptism 5 weeks in a row.  They already have 3 weeks.  I know, it's important to be humble, but I am very proud of these guys. 

May the Lord bless our missionaries.  I still pray for them, I hope you are too.  Enjoy your week.  If I get any information about transfers, I will post it as soon as I find out.
