Another fun week with family visiting. Matthew's family left on Monday, Bryan's left on Wednesday, and Greg's family arrived Thursday and left this Monday. It is great to have family come and visit but it is hard to say goodbye to each one. It is great that our family loves us enough to come and visit. I have heard from some Senior couples that they wish their family would come. Exciting week in the Karen Group. We had a baptism of Sister Naw Htoo who was baptized on Saturday morning and confirmed a member of the Church on Sunday. She has such a sweet spirit and she was really excited. The Karen Group is growing slowly. When you think that they receive a testimony without having the Book of Mormon translated in their language the Holy Ghost must be working overtime here.

Fall weather all around and a great week of Sunshine in Nebraska. Activities all around. Families, bus tours , and even our own family members. It is so good to see people we know, and to meet new friends. Two of our children with their families were here this week. Bryan with his family arrived late Wednesday night, and Matthew and his family arrived late Thursday night. Both will tell you it is a long drive in one day, especially with small children. Bryan said Nebraska is flat for so long.  We are glad they had good weather coming and while they were here. We all got to go to the Zoo all day Friday, and we are grateful the weather was so good. It is great to see the kids faces light up at the sight of animals, butterflies,  and fish. The day was warm and everybody had fun, but were really tired on Friday night. It was fun to have time together after our shifts: seeing statues, walking the pedestrian bridge, and Heritage park fountain. Visiting the Kanesville Tabernac...

Conference week is exciting here in the Mission Field.  Missionaries excited to listen and speculate what is going to happen, members coming through on there way to Conference with tickets to attend, and just overall excitement.  A couple of Sister Missionaries want to make sure that when the announcement would be made about Missionaries to China, be sure to come and tell us so we can put our papers in for another mission. Another Couple speculated that a temple would be announced in China. Just a lot of speculation. Truly it was an inspiring Conference. It has been a rainy fall so far in Nebraska. I wish our friends in Utah had all this rain, it make for dark days here. We love it here serving. This week on Preparation Day we got to go to the Zoo, just to walk around. It is an amazing Zoo. It was raining but the indoor exhibits were great. I love the Butterfly house and Sister White loves the Aquarium. It is great doing things together. My Favorite quote from Conference is...
