Dear Mormony Peoples (as one of our YSA would say),
The question of the day is: What is a Thunder Chicken? A clue is in a photo on our mission blog.
It was 108 degrees in our car yesterday morning when we went out to get some ice cream for the Sunday YSA Fireside. The outside temp was 100. We and everyone else just travel from air conditioned quarters to air conditioned car. We made a mad dash to a home near the base to deliver the ice cream to their freezer.
Our new mission president left a voicemessage on the phone saying "stay in if possible". And this is only the beginning of the hot season here.
Aside from that life is good.
The work continues in spite of us. The YSA had a fun activity night Tuesday playing games and eating. I made the food and one marine and 5 young women showed up. Three of the young ladies are from Albertson west of here. They are all Harper decendents. They say everyone in Albertson are related to the Harpers but their ancestors came to the Americas from England early on in settlement time.
The Resiliency class Sunday went really well and we had a lot of great discussions including some from a non member who attended and asked me why we wear white underclothes. What would your answer be?
Monday we had four elders over for supper, I cooked all day Tuesday for the YSA, took some fruit salad to our neighbor upstairs who just had surgery, we fed all 10 missionaries in our district lunch Wednesday after meeting at the church, I took rocks to the Military Wives Support Group Thursday evening and was worrying about what to fix for Resiliency class treats and Fireside treats Sunday and was asked to do the refreshments for the baptism today. I murmurred so someone else is taking care of today.
You probably are so busy this 4th of July week you won't read this e-mail but it does me good to write it anyway.
Happy 4th Holiday.
Love, Sister Grandma Johnson
