Today is Sunday and it has been raining most of the day. The humidity was at 97%. We had many visitors at church and it's exciting to visited each week with them. We have been called to teach in the primary. Ruby is working on a painting and trying to organize our little apartment to find a home for more stuff then we have room for. We have been going on long walks in the nearby woods. Our landlord took us to some very old stone chambers or root cellars and some have even call them calender sites. But they are very old and usually have old stone walls nearby and old stone foundations where homes once stood. I was told that National Geographic did an article on the the ones near our house. I took a walk around McIntosh Pond today while Ruby worked on her landscape painting. She is making bread and will be cooking it long past bedtime tonight.
Ruby got a new camera and so is happily taking pictures again after I lost her other one. She is designated to document the flowers and garden for the yearly history book of the Memorial Site gardens. We are enjoying the other missionary couples. We work with the Lamb's from AZ, and the Sanford's from Maine on the grounds. The Mckinnon's from Orem, the Vorwallor's from Urda (Toolle), and the Slade's from Star, Idaho work in the visitors center to welcome guest and give tours.
We are blessed to work at the Joseph Smith Memorial Site and can understand why it has designated as a sacred site. The Vermont countryside is so beautiful and green. I'll bet it was hard for many of the early saints to leave this area. Due to the hard times and the inability for many to make a living here, they left for New York. I am sure the Lord had a hand in each of their lives so that would be directed to move on to other areas so that they would be instrumental in the restoration of the gospel. We miss being home in Midway and hope all is well there. We also missed visiting with family and friends who attend the wedding of my sister's son Peter Bell to Jen Green who's family lives in Midway this week end. Wish we could have been there to enjoy the activities
