Family in Florida

We were so happy to see Steve, Traci and their family this weekend. Their flight was delayed so they arrived at the Miami airport at 2 am and stayed at a hotel near the airport. They arrived here at 10 am Sunday and we had a wonderful reunion. We got to go to church together and then after dinner Steve, Ammon, Emma and Elder Black went down to the Reflections of Christ exhibit and on the way home drove through the middle of Miami. Steve said it reminded him a lot of his mission in Oakland. Today, the kids really enjoyed swimming and seeing all the creatures (gekos, turtles, squirrels, ducks and finding coconuts). After lunch, they headed for Orlando and Disney World. We are looking forward to their longer visit next week.

We have had a busy week hosting at the Reflections of Christ exhibit each day and visiting the missionaries. One of our wonderful couple missionaries took a wrong turn on their way to host at the Reflection of Christ exhibit and ended up in the middle of the Miami sky scrappers. They called Elder Black and he was able to get on Google Earth and help them navigate their was out of there. We also worked on the Chapel Pass-Along Cards and to keep the cost low have decided to print them ourselves. We found a good paper supplier and then had Kinkos cut the box of paper into 10,000 3" x 5" cards. We will be delivering the first batch of cards to the Elders in the Biscami Zone tomorrow.

On Wednesday, we are having the kickoff meeting for Daily Dose English at the Lauderhill Spanish ward and we are excited to finally get it officially started. We are enjoying our mission so much and appreciate all the prayers said in our behalf. We love you all very much and appreciate your love and support.
