Wednesday March 23

 

Today grandma didn’t want to go walking, but I convinced her to go with me down to the park so I could exercise and so we could get out of the apartment. Right across the street is the American consul. I have shown pictures before, but perhaps some who read this have not read all of the blogs. This cosul is the oldest being established in 1777. Back then the Açores were.an important destination for ships crossing the Atlantic. Look close and you can see the flag.
We went back and got ready for our district meeting. We had a good meeting. On the way over someone yelled at us and we talked with a less active member who we visit sometimes. The neat thing is he was where we would not have seen him if he had remained quiet. Good to visit with him and his wife. We had walked to and in return from the church. Later we left to visit a family on the north of the island after picking up the missionaries from ribeira grande. We had a nice visit. The young woman in the family always comes to church and I wanted to visit the family for myself.

That part of the island is peaceful and pretty. All pastureland. We drove home and all the missionaries called to tell us they will stay for 6 more weeks. They seemed to be happy. We had a good day. We love you all.

I couldn't find the flag for a little while. I was looking at the wrong picture.
