Last Saturday (preparation day for
Sister Cannon and me), we moved a senior couple’s apartment to storage near the
mission office. Actually, the young
elders did all the heavy lifting of furniture, not the apartment. I could do that when I was young. Now Kay and I are weaker and wiser,
overseeing the work and letting the young ones decide how to stack things. The two that helped us are experienced and
better than two men and a truck, lifting the heavy things with a smile. Moved by the same Spirit, our missionaries lift people
spiritually and serve at non-profits in the community.
I drove the pickup truck and trailer
without incident despite the rain, following Sister Cannon, who drove her car
full of smaller stuff. (Recalled backing
the boat trailer into lakes when I was single.
Did a lot of that. Good
preparation for this mission. Fun, too! ... but that's another story.)
Life here in SE Michigan goes on, rain
or shine. Mostly sunny with clouds this
autumn. That’s kind of how life should
be in this season of our life.
