Valentine's Day

The mission had an Old Fashion dinner and dance Valentine's Day Party

They had some prizes for fun too.  The Whitings here won a courting candle.

 We had a nice dinner and lots of fun doing old fashion dances, like the Virginia Reel, Oh Johny Oh Johny Oh, and Ole Suzzanah.  One of the nicest Valentine's Day ever.

Finished all the bears for the grand-daughters.

When the ice breaks up on the Mississippi it makes some pretty nice looking ice castles.  

Random thoughts

Here is an oxy-moron

When you think you're humble you're not.  And when you think you're not humble you are.  

There's a lot of truth to that one.

From the talk, You're Great Adventure, by Elder Uchtdorf

Don't forget who you are!  Don't let Satan tempt you to forget.  Remember your spiritual identity. Recognize truth.  It can be that feeling of coming home.  Have a plan for your life, even if you land in Holland thinking you will be going to Italy.  You didn't quite make it to Italy for good reason.  We may  look back and see how much happier we are landing in Holland.   God knows better.
