The weather was gorgeous today! It was cool in the morning, then only got up into the 70s in the afternoon. Tomorrow we start the climb back into the 90s, but it was very nice to have a bit of a break from hot.
Our Elijah Choir director will be leaving the mission at the end of the month, so it was a bit emotional singing "Behold, I am a Disciple of Christ" for the mission devotional this morning. Our new director was announced today--turns out it is the current director's first cousin, He has directed college choirs, so I expect I will learn a lot from him, as I have from his cousin.
My daughter called this morning from Arizona. So far her visit is going well. She let me know that my phone number did get switched over to my newly-activated phone, so I am back to my regular number. That is a huge blessing.
Because of the cooler weather I decided to make more flax seed crackers today. These are garlic, oregano and basil crackers--not bad. I had thought I did not need to go to get any groceries, but realized I had no salad dressing to take with the salad greens to the ward dinner tonight, so I did go to the closest store.
I went to check out the microfilms from Eppingen this afternoon--unfortunately I found nothing definite so I am not sure where I ought to be spending my research time here.
This evening's ward dinner had a pioneer theme, so we enjoyed several stories from the pioneer heritage of fellow missionaries. There were also pioneer songs sung as well as our welcome and goodbye songs for the new and departing missionaries.There are many of the missionaries whose time here has ended, so there is plenty of room for others to come join us!
Two more beautiful songs were added today to a special playlist on a special day.
