We have been without internet for over a week waiting to get hooked up at our new flat. Finally got it done today, so will try to catch up on what we have been doing. Finally feel kind of settled in our flat. If you can call it that. Flat for sure. there is nothing on any of the walls including towel racks, closets, electric plug in the bathroom, etc. We are hanging towels on the radiators for now. Will have to figure something out before we have to turn them on to keep warm. Everything feel damp, even the TP and paper plates etc. Takes everything several days to dry. We might have to buy a clothes dryer.

We have been busy just going through the ward list knocking on doors trying to find people. Lots are not home, or moved--months or even years ago. Some are friendly and some are evasive. Some even pretend to be someone else when we ask if they are who we are looking for. The ward is great, though. They have a really good mission leader. He organizes lots of service projects and gets lots of people out for those, including inactives.

We took the elders to Birmingham Wed. for transfers. We got a "greenie" here from Idaha Falls. Both the elders here are pretty cool. We took them out to dinner Wed. night. I am still getting used to the food, the meat especially. It tastes different (stronger) because they don't use any seasonings on it. Everything is pretty bland and funny tasting to me. I am sure a lot of it is just in my mind, but I guess I will get used to it. The Fish & Chips are good except they serve frozen peas with everything and a lot of the time they mash them. They are called "mashy peas." YUK

We had a couple of good visits yesterday with inactive sisters. And I went to RS last night. It was a "Knit In". They are knitting little hats to put on Smoothie bottles that the company is selling to raise money for the elderly. Had a pretty turnout--12 sisters. Gotta go for now. Time to read scriptures.
