Hi,

We had an excellent discussion with Janvier this week.  He is a very thin man from Brundi.  He is sincere and thoughtful, but is having trouble quitting smoking.  We had dinner and a discussion at our house this week with him and Elder Hales and Webb, and Sandy and I both really enjoyed it.

We also had lunch and a discussion at our house this week with the Sisters and John McCauley.  The Sisters gave him a chart of things he has to do before he can get baptized.  This was perfect for him. 

We had a good dinner with Joren this week as well as looking for an apartment with her. Apartments are hard to come by but with persistence I’m sure she’ll get one.

We are going to miss our apartment inspections and the District Meetings when we are gone.  We enjoy traveling in Maine and visiting with the missionaries.  We have very much enjoyed being with the young missionaries in their weekly district meetings.  The meetings are organized well and uplifting to all.  We also feed them and appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication. 

Pictures were taken on the "Eastern Trail" which goes from one of Maine to the other and on into other states.
