Hallowe'en

Not many treats today but there were a few tricks. We spent part of the day with Elder Spencer helping us transfer a Christmas program from a cassette tape to a C.D. so we could edit some of it and prepare it for Sister Stucki to possibly use for the missionary Christmas activity. Anyway that Elder Spencer has a whole bag full of tricks when it comes to using computers.He's amazing. Did a great job; I had know idea so much could be done with a computer. He is getting transferred today so tonight  we took him to his new area.He's pretty subdued today because he's been called as our new zone leader and so will be working in Naic. He was pretty weepy too because he really loved this area and the people here so it was hard to leave.Elder Cayme is also transferred so there were plenty of sad faces around here. We really loved working with them both.On our way to Naic with Elder Spencer we    experienced another trick and ran out of fuel in the diesel van we are driving. But the Lord was watching over us because just as the car quit there was a gas station so we coasted in to the pump.Only then it wouldn't start again and we spent over an hour trying to locate booster cables and getting Paddocks to come and boost us.Had to bleed the lines and everything-fun.Some of my life experience payed off as I was finally able to get it fixed and off we went.Felt good to get some diesel on my hands again.

too funny dad! We were burning a pile of limbs and stuff on Saturday and Chas poured some diesel on it, and of course got it all over his hands, I could smell it and it reminded me of you. I even told Chas, "wow that reminds me of my Dad" miss you!!

What a blessing to have that talent/experience/knowledge. Doubt Elder Spencer could have done it. Isn't wonderful that we can all share in our "gifts of the spirit...or even gifts of life's experiences"

Keep on truckin', both of you.
