It was a fairly quiet week. We picked up one student in our Book of Mormon class, so we have five in that and the Doctrine and Covenants classes. That seems small, but it's a nice size for here, and a nice size for discussions. The Teachings of the Living Prophets class still just has Zack, our new convert, and we continue to enjoy discussions with him in that class.
Tuesday we had Taco Tuesday instead of soup. This picture is really to show the bulletin boards. When I think of all the years I evaluated student bulletin boards for the Teaching Methods course, I wonder if the students would think it only fair that I am responsible for three bulletin boards at the institute. Kind of glad I'm not getting graded!

The week's high spot was going with Zack to the temple on Saturday--Elder Kerr performed the baptisms as Zack was baptized for the dead for the first time. He was so thrilled to be there.
Wednesday was transfer day for the missionaries, and we were surprised that Sister Smith was transferred to Ardmore (way South). The new sister is also named Smith. We also received a pair of elders to work in the YSA ward with the sisters. That made our dinner table a little more crowded but very fun today. Elder Richardson has been an assistant to the president for the last 5 months and his companion, Elder Van Alfen, is straight from the MTC last week. Both delightful and dedicated young men. It is so wonderful to associate with these excellent young missionaries and see their passion for serving the Lord and sharing the gospel. I'm so proud of my great niece Catherine and great nephew Daniel for their service in San Jose and New York City, and my sister Gloria and Catherine's other grandmother Venetta in Croatia--when Brigham goes to the MTC at the end of October that will make 7 of our family serving missions at the same time!
