Week 63
We had a busy week because the semester finally started (that was an incredibly long break!).  It felt really good to get back into our routine of Soup Tuesday and teaching classes.  As I mention frequently, we just love these YSAs and feel it such a privilege to work with such fine people.  Since classes started on Tuesday, we meet with our Monday Doctrine and Covenants class for the first time tomorrow; then we will have all three classes going.   No matter how many times we've read the scriptures before, we find new insights each week as we prepare our lessons.

The only unusual thing to happen this week was a woman backed her truck into the medical clinic where we go.  Though we wouldn't normally mention a car accident, Brother Valletta, the institute director, was coming out of the pharmacy across the street, and just happened to be the first person on the scene--he said the woman was elderly and seemed dazed (though unhurt) when he got to her. Brother Valletta was late coming to the institute on Friday because he had to make a statement to the police.  The woman had obviously built up a pretty good speed in the short space of the parking lot, and got confused on forward and reverse!

We've been in the very exam room she opened up! No one was in the room at the time

The weather has moderated and we're enjoying temps in the 60s.  Still seeing gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, still loving our interesting birds, and still loving life in Oklahoma.
