Letter #35

Well, this week was pretty great.  We had sun for 3 hours one day, so that's enough for one week, right?  Well, daylight savings time is coming to an end, which means that the sun will be below the tree line at around 4:30 in the afternoon, and it will be starting to get really dark around 5:30.  So that's pretty exciting.  Luckily, it doesn't usually rain too much around here.  Most of the time it's just overcast, and if it does start to rain, it's pretty light.  It only rained twice this last week, and both times were in the morning, during studies, so we didn't even get wet.

Well, Tuesday was a silly sort of day, because we spent most of the day waiting for the office to come and inspect our apartment.  Which was originally supposed to happen around 11:15, and ended up actually happening around 3:15.  And then I didn't even have any mail from the office.  We had a lesson that evening, which went pretty swell.  The non-member wife was asking us for a Book of Mormon by the end of it, so that was nice.

We had our Fall Festival on Saturday, which was a combination of a chili cook-off, and a trunk-or-treat for the kids.  We invited about a dozen people to that, who all said that they would come, and then they didn't, so it was just like Sacrament meeting all over again, pretty much.  But we decided we would give allowance to the one who was in the middle of a police investigation for the $20k worth of stuff that was stolen from her house earlier that day, and the one who hadn't gotten her car back yet from her son who was at a wrestling tournament that night.  But not the rest of them.  Everyone else is in trouble now.

And besides that, nothing too exciting.  Our new building is almost done, and so there is all sorts of drama on who get which rooms/closets when it opens up.  But that is about 4 days after transfers, so worst case scenario, I won't even be here when it opens up.  But I probably will.  Transfer calls come at the end of next week, so I guess we'll find out for sure then.
