Winter has come to Kirtland

November 9, 2008--Winter has come to Kirtland and we were covered with our first snow. It is quite a beautiful site as we viewed it from our front porch and out of the Visitor's Center window.

November Adventures

OK...It is time to catch up on our Kirtland Kapers...sometimes I think that we have too much fun being missionaries. As much as we love teaching the Gospel, we also enjoy the times that we have visitors and the little day trips that we get to take when we aren't working. So enjoy!
Having the Gardners spend a few days was great. We loved showing them our Kirtland favorites and Larry even treated us with his homemade apple crisp. The fall colors have been beautiful to see. Winter will be here quickly so we are soaking up all we can. On our last P-Day we headed west to Marblehead and then to Kelleys Island. We spent our time walking on the beach and enjoying the Glacier Grooves. We have also been out to an Amish school where we visited with the children and they sang to us. They don't like pictures of them so all we have is the picture of their school. Two rooms with children from 1st grade to 8th grade. After that they are generally through with school. The teachers aren't much older than the children. They are kind and happy children and we enjoy the opportunities we have to get to know them. We also had a fun Halloween party with the missionaries...just the young ones dressed up! Hope you can make sense of these modpodge pictures. It is fun to share and fun to see what is going on with others.
