Week 42 - February 11-17

B1 (International Floor) had their Recognition Meeting this week.  Elder Koberstein and I had ordered some pins for B1 when the missionary complete Level 3 training.  Our first missionaries to receive this award are Elder & Sister Ekenes and Sister Rochon.

This is a group of others who still are working on our floor and have finished L3 training.

After our the Recognition Meeting we had our traditional potluck luncheon.  It is always a lot of good food, good company and good time to visit thanks to all the missionaries on B1.

 

Following the luncheon zone pictures were taken this week.  Sadly the mission photographer did not show up.  We used my little Cannon camera.  It did okay but a bigger flash would have lighted up the faces better.

This picture is the second half of the zone.  It is not possible to pull all the missionaries off the floor at one time.  We need to keep the service of guests in the library going.  We also have missionaries that do not serve on Tuesday who are not present but it is a large share of the missionaries serving on B1.

Nathan has been digitizing his many slides.  They came to the library on Friday to work on them.  We left together and went to the Discovery Center on the main  floor.  We each chose a different place to visit.  Elder Koberstein did our pioneer heritage.

Susan chose Wyoming.  This is chimney Rock Wyoming, a place that the pioneers record passing on their way to Salt Lake Valley.

I chose Mt Fuji in Japan.

Nathan chose the Stockholm, Sweden temple.

The computer was not as cooperative as one would hope it would be at allowing us to choose the background.  Where do you think we are?  I don't know.

It was raining, one night this week, and Nathan went to the South Davis Recreation Center to walk on the track.  They allow senior citizens to get passes and walk for free.  It was a fun, safe place to walk.  Elder Koberstein and I tried it out twice this week (Thursday and Saturday Morning).  Hope to be able to do it a lot more.  Winter has been a challenge to exercise for us.

THOUGHT FOR YOU  
...President Nelson asked church members to remodel their homes into sanctuaries of faith and to join efforts to alleviate suffering while President Oaks said ancient truths maintain their strength in the modern world."Right is still right, and wrong is still wrong," 
President Oaks said, "regardless of what is said or done by movie idols, TV personalities or sports stars." He repeated the church's position on avoiding tattoos, piercings, immodesty and pornography, calling such things "graffiti on your personal temple."  -from Arizona conference 2019
