Hurricane Rosa turned normally dry and dusty Phoenix into a watery wonderland.
It flooded some roads - but none of the ones we normally travel on - and it washed out a portion of the main highway from Flagstaff to Page which closed it down for a couple of days. But, overall, it was just lovely and wet.
Then, yesterday, another front blew over dropping temperatures enough to open windows and doors and, last night, it brought more rain, complete with thunder. This is what the sky looked like this morning.
I am so grateful for this week's departure from the usual Arizona October weather.
As for the week's activities: Steve and I both visited the dentist for routine cleanings and checkup. Our old teeth are still hanging in there - no dentures yet :)
We invited a new family in the ward over for cookies on Monday night. The dad, Nathan, is from St. Johns and he is a cello player looking to take lessons so he started those on Wednesday. He's definitely more advanced than my usual students. He and his wife, Corie, have four adorable children that almost match the Southerland grandchildren - boy, girl, boy, girl with similar age ranges.
We had to move our temple date to Thursday night since the temple is closed this weekend due to General Conference. And, speaking of, it has been a glorious weekend of conference so far. I can get behind the two-hour Sunday meeting block with more time at home to do gospel study. I am looking forward to President Nelson's message (s) today.
The mission office was rather slow this week - more time for family history and pottery Youtube videos. These three sisters popped in mid-week so I took a picture.
Sisters Aubrie Stevens, Sedona Tooley, and Summer Hall
