Lon's Turn

     Since it is ladies day out, I guess I should take the time to write the weekly letter. Once a month all the English speaking sisters in the ward which all are Americans, get together and visit, eat and just have a good time. It gives them a chance to get away from their husbands and gossip and tell lies about us. We call it husbands appreciation day as we get to stay home and clean the apartment do the laundry, vacuum the place and clean and polish our temple shoes and just have a great old day and learn to appreciate what they have done for us all of those years. They truly have earned their day.

     This week was a busy week as Honduras came again and it does fill the days and we truly love them coming. They are going to be missed when their new temple is done. We are healthy and doing great. Nancy gets depressed because she thanks her Spanish isn't where it needs to be and struggles. All I can say is we all go through it. I still think when am I going to learn Spanish. I just wish that my hearing was as good as hers. She is doing well and understands a great deal. At times, I have to say what did they say. I am going on 3 months without my hearing aids because I sent them to the States to get fixed and I think that they forgot all about them.

     This week is the celebration of our independence and I hope that we all take time to give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy and all the things that we have been blessed with. Such as affordable golf, fishing streams, mountains to go 4 wheeling and a long hunting season where we can go out and supply food for our families at an affordable price. I miss the sacrifice that I had to go through each fall to bring home the food that was expected so that we could live for the following year. We send all our love to everyone. We hope you have a great week. Love Lon and Nancy, Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and Mom
