The mission office got a package from Norway this week. It was from former ASL missionary, Elder Vagen and it had chocolate for all. Here is the candy bar that he gave to us and the Poulsons. It was delicious. And we really miss Elder Vagen and hope all is going well for him...
We also had a visit from Scruffy, Elder Wall's grandparent's Yorkie. He was SO cute.
We had movie night at the Murrays again last night. Here is Richelle and her two boys and her dad, Dale Murray. His wife, Karen, is off camera. We watched "The Christmas Card" - one of Dale's favorites and it is now one we will buy to add to our Christmas movie collection.
Steve and I visited the Arizona state capital Saturday morning. The building is no longer used as a legislative building because it is too small. It is now a museum.
such beautiful workmanship...
And, on the grounds are several monuments to war veterans. Prominent inside the museum and out are memorials to the battleship Arizona that was sunk at Pearl Harbor. Below is the actual main mast from the ship.
a tribute to police dogs killed in the line of duty.
Below is a statue that reminded me of my dad...
We watched a Murray-loaned DVD on Friday "Beautician and the Beast" (SO funny and charming) while we squeezed about a bushel of lemons! Guess what we are having for dessert today??? Yep, lemon pie.
I also finally mailed off our income tax documents on Friday. Whew! Glad to have that monkey off my back. Now the accountants get to have it - bwahahah.
Temperatures are warming up - not too hot, though. We enjoyed eating dinner out on our back patio last night and we are opening our windows. It was a nice week.
