This week has been fun.  We took an excursion with the group of Temple missionaries to the Eastmon Kodack home.  It was out of this world!  I added some pictures but they don't do justice to it.  It was a grat day with everyone.  They also had a gingerbread house contest, and added some pictues of them to share.  Thought you would enjoy the,.  I call them Houses with charn!

After we went to a retraunt called Sticky Lips.  It was a great place for barbequed pulled pork, and ribs.  A new favorite!!

we were assigned to attend the Niagra Falls Ward and will  be going there each Sunday for church at 9 am each week.  I is about 2 and 1/2 hours one way so will be a long cmmute but are looking forward o meeting the memberes there,  All the missionary couples talk about how much they love their ward assignments,  We can't wait to get started!

We are loving pictures from home.  It is the next best thing to being there.  Love our new granddaushter Carie Ann Christensen, just wish I xoould hold her and smell that wonderful new baby smell.  Brett assures me she smells wonderful.  I keep all the pictures and watch them daily.  The next best thing to being there.

Take care of eachother and know ou are in our prayers daily!!!  Serving here is the BEST!  Words can't describe how wonderful it is to serve the Lord100%.  Everyone we meeet is a gift to cherish,  We count our blessingsa fronm the Lord each day and are overwhelmed by the miracles we see ech day that touch our hearts.  My favorite is seeing the sacrifice of the people who come to the Temple often at great sacrifice, some come from 2 hours or more away each week.  We take our close proxcimity to temples back home for granted!

We send our love to you all, and know you are being taken care of.  Miss you all and know you are being watched over and blessed.  We feel that each day in our hearts!!!
