S unset on the Mississippi Monday, April 24 It was our PD on Saturday So we spent the day finishing putting the house together. Made a run into town to buy a few more Augdon and won't be making that trip very often not used to traveling 20 minutes to get a loaf of bread. Your mother made dinner for Elder And Sister Olsen They spend the evening with us and we went down to the rendezvous. They are the couple that we met in the MTC and I've become pretty good friends with them Spent all day yesterday in one kind of church meeting after another. We did go to lunch at elder and sister Slater missionary couple And then spend Sunday night finally putting the rest of my clothes away.
