We are down to our last 60 some odd days of this mission. We should end things up here at the St George on September 13th. Our grand plan to head our that day has been delayed a bit as our grand daughter, Elyse, won't be baptized until September 29th due to Matthew's new job schedule. He won't be back in town until then. So, we have a little time to goof off before taking off for Nevada. however, we do need to head back to Kalifornia to be released and pick up our stuff.
We are buying a house here in St George, specifically over in Washington (actually referred to locally as Washington Fields). It should have enough room in it for grand kinds and others to visit. It is supposed to be done August 23rd. They are a tad bit behind schedule but that is OK. There is a lot of construction going on here in the St George area and a great shortage of construction workers.
The birthday girl wanted a "Donut Cake" so that is what she got as Nanna lit the candles while everyone watched and sang. |
It has been somewhat cooler this year, compared to last year, so far. Or I am getting used to it. I just don't plan on going outside at 5 PM on a hot day.
I'm being treated for some issues with my spine as I have a compressed L4/L5 vertebrae. I've had a series of shots and will have a radiofrequency treatment to see if they can loosen things up a bit around my spine. I also just found out I have the beginnings of cataracts in both my eyes so getting older sucks.
Arlene had some surgery on her tendon to lengthen it a bit to reduce the stress on her heal. We'll see if that reduces the pain she's been experiencing.
Other than that, things are moving right along. We've done a million records. the staff is beginning to realize we will be gone in only a few weeks so they are trying to figure out what will happen then. I remind them that, Frankly, Scralet, it's not my problem. I've been trying to tell you my time was coming for some time. But, the Marstons will do well. the Lord will provide and they have another couple that is supposed to come in September sometime. I don't think they will be our replacements though. I can't teach them all I know in a couple of days.
Keep up the good fight. It will be better. Love you all.
Elder Seger
