Can't believe we are almost to the middle of July. Time is flying by here. It was wonderful to welcome Phil and his family on Thursday and we have been enjoying lots of fun New England countryside since they arrived. On Friday we went into Boston and were able to take the harbor cruise which I wasn't very excited about after my last trip on a boat to Catalina Island. All was good and the cruise was calm (no sea sickness for me) and the information was great. While at the U.S.S. Constitution I stayed on land while Grandpa and the others went aboard the ship. While waiting I started visiting with a man who had knee problems so he was waiting while his wife went aboard as well. They were here from Buena Vista, California and their trip consisted of visiting national parks from the west coast to the east. We talked about our mission doing record preservation and he told me that they had visited Nauvoo and loved it. He said while his wife liked the parks he made a list of strange sites around the country and found a huge peanut with a Jimmy Carter smile on it among other things. It sounded like a great trip and they were definitely having a good time. Taking a tour around Boston is always interesting and we went on a different tour line this time which took us a different route than we had gone before. There is definitely a lot of different things to see in Boston.
Tomorrow Phil and Penny and the girls are heading to Niagara Falls and we are going back to work. After work we will leave for Albany, New York where we will spend the night before heading on to Palmyra on Tuesday for the Hill Cumorah pageant. We can't wait! We will meet up with them and enjoy the pageant together.
At work this week I found a 50 page letter written to a judge from the only remaining son. He was taking issue with his brothers wife whom he wanted the judge to know had taken advantage of his mothers feeble condition in her remaining months and felt like she had manipulated his mother into changing the will. He was very liberal in his use of the word "wicked." I don't know if he convinced the judge but I was definitely feeling bad for his mother! We have not had sister missionary for two weeks and hopefully more will be assigned to our area on Tuesday. We have missed them and especially in the morning when we would leave for work their cheery "love you" out the windows as they were doing their studying. The temperatures are inching up a little and we are seeing more consistent weather in the 80s but it is definitely bearable. The humidity is high and we are having a lot of rain which I love and it isn't like in California and Arizona where the rain stops and the temperature goes right back up. Here the rain definitely cools everything down. Love it! Have a great week everyone. We love hearing from you and were excited to get a card from Perry telling us he was loving college. Thanks for keeping up in your thoughts and prayers. We love you all!
