Here we are with another week behind us and a great week ahead. Things at the archives have gone really well and I think a big part of that has been because we had stopped working on the camera for a few days and just did document prep so that now we have six boxes of documents waiting for us. That has been something we are continuing to maintain. I don't know why it has helped our productivity but it did and we are consistently getting back into the 500 pictures range each time we go on the camera--even though we are still working in the late 1700 and early 1800s. I have said this many times and believe it to be the truth--we are not doing this work alone! I hope to put a picture on the blog that I took of Scott holding a will. You will see why when I get the picture posted. Someone had a great need to make a statement!
We have had some beautiful weather this fall and we keep waiting to wake up to a big snowstorm but that hasn't happened. It seems that we are enjoying a little reprieve before reality hits and I am not complaining one bit. All the leaves are off the trees now and everywhere you go there are huge leaf piles. On the way home from work this week we saw a young mother sitting by a huge leaf pile and her little toddler was having a great time playing in it. Everywhere we go there are people walking, jogging, and biking. It seems they are all trying to get as much exercise in while they can still be outside. One of the sad aspects of Concord is the large number of homeless people who suffer from physical and mental illness. I don't know if the number is so high here because the state mental health hospital is here but I have never seen so many people with obvious illness who continually wander the streets.
Yesterday we were planning to attend a dinner for the senior missionaries at the Joseph Smith Memorial but Scott got really sick in the morning and ended up sleeping most of the day. Instead I enjoyed some quiet time and worked on the finishing touches for our Sunday school lesson, caught up on several projects in the apartment, and also took a nap. By evening he was feeling better and then we just watched old NCIS reruns. It was a very nice day once he felt better.
One of our sister missionaries had an emergency transfer yesterday. Typically transfers are every six weeks and that is coming up a week from Tuesday. She was told to pack her things and then after their Zone conference yesterday she would be going to work in Montpelier, Vermont and the missionary she is replacing will be coming here. Sister Harper is an awesome missionary (a little note--so far they have all been AWESOME) and we will miss her. At least our ninja missionary Sister Davis is staying around a little longer. I love these young adults and am in awe of the great job they do. Be sure to have the missionaries for dinner whenever you can because you are their oasis in a sometimes barren desert. Have a great week everyone!
