The days continue to rush by as mom and I fulfill our assignments here in the mission field. We were both up early to begin this day. We both had our prayers, separate, and together, and then read our Scriptures, together, and separate. It is always such a wonderful way to begin each day!
The sunrise is getting later and later, each morning, so my early morning walks may be in jeopardy. However, I did get started on my three mile walk at just a few minutes before 6:00am, this morning, and finished at 6:50am, with the sun still not up! But there was enough light to see the roadway, and I was grateful for the light that was there for me.
These two senior missionaries had two separate assignments today. The first was participating with a school group from Casper. I ran the Blacksmith shop and Granny was a tour guide. So we really got to work together, except that she moved around the Homestead with her group, and I taught the several small tour groups about the Blacksmith duties and the prairie diamond story. It was a fun morning. She got my picture but I could not get hers!

Then, after lunch, we worked on finishing up our painting project on the offices. The wind was blowing too hard to paint, so we completed the taping of the windows. Tomorrow, we will try to paint, after we complete our restroom cleaning assignments. The missionaries are dwindling fast, and tomorrow we send home five more senior couples. We have so enjoyed getting to know these wonderful senior missionaries! Granny and I went around with our final goodbyes this afternoon.
We are also very much aware of the falling temperatures. The highs tomorrow will be in the mid sixties, and the low in the morning?? It is supposed to be around 34 degrees. Wyoming weather is very interesting, and we get some surprises every day! Mom and I will be up and cleaning restrooms at the Homestead by 7:00am tomorrow morning, so that we are not cleaning them while visitors are there. We plan on bundling up! It will be a great day! Thank you for checking in with us tonight!
Every day is a great day when you’re a great senior missionary!❤️ You guys are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYou need to continue writing on your blog once you are home! I always want to read your thoughts and insights, even when your activities are closer😉😊😘
Brrrrrrrrr That will be one cold cleaning assignment!! Any snow in the forecast 😉😁 We sure love you two!! 😍
ReplyDeleteI’m glad there are still visitors coming in! It seemed pointless to have the missionaries there but if people/school groups are coming then it’s probably a good thing.
