We had a dinner with a few of your missionary friends, we hate to see 2 couples leaving us soon they are heading back to Canada, the Hardy's and Idaho, the Edstroms. We had a great meal at our house, thanks to everyone that helped and then went out side and took pictures by our tall, tall corn. Each of these couples have been, zone leaders or in the mission presidency at one time or another. They're so many capable, willing to serve people.
The flowers along the Mississippi are beautiful, tall lavender ones growing along side of the banks and the enormous green leave, white Lillie's growing in the water. The huge 'Plate Hibiscus' flower comes in many colors, I know now why they call it 'the plate'.
The program, "Sunset by the Mississippi", it is a hoedown, fiddle'n, toe stopping, hand clapping program. The Young Preforming Missionaries are fantastic, the fiddles, singing, band, dance, trumpets and just plain acting ability is marvelous. So talented young people and such good examples of the younger set. We have fun with them each night when we put this program on. And of course there is the 'Melodrama' with 'Dudley Do Good' (Elder Williams) and 'Snerdly Sly' (Elder Reber). They call them affectionately Pres. Dud and Pres. Sly, as they are both in the Mission Presidency now.
