Happy Birthday Carlye Anne!

Today is our oldest granddaughter's 13th birthday.  You are a joy to be around, Carlye and we love you very much.  We hope this year is all you hope it to be.

Clyde and I have been married for 41 years today.  It doesn't seem possible that we have been together that long.  We are loving serving together in Denmark.

Clyde was sustained and set-apart as the Branch Mission Leader.  He will work with the full time missionaries in helping to move the Lord's work forward.  Our Mission President said he had never had anyone called as Mission Leader of their unit before.  He was very excited.  The only thing is that this makes a lot of travel on the first and third Tuesday of the month.  I am not looking forward to that but then I am a homebody at heart.

We had the most amazing baked ham for dinner today.  We both ate way too much because the smoked ham was so amazing.  We now have some ham for ham chowder and ham and beans.  Looking forward to those meals.

It was a funny day today as caught the busses.  We were literally minutes behind when the bus had last stopped on our way to church.  We missed bus 4A because it pulled in just before bus 10 got to the stop.  When we were coming home, the bus left the stop just as we turned the corner, so we waited for 20 minutes for the next one.  Then bus 10 was pulling way from our stop as we arrived.  So frustrating.  It was cold day of hurry up and wait.

Our RS President gave us our manuals for this next year, all wrapped up with ribbon.  For the senior missionary couples in the ward, she gave us an English and a Danish manual.  She is such a sweetheart and tries so hard.  Her daughter is a ballerina and Sister Olsen too was a ballerina at one time.  They are so graceful when they do anything.

I pray you have a good Sabbath.
