    Sooo!!!!! That's the reason why my wife finally stopped making excuses about the changing weather conditions and finally washed and vacuumed her car! I knew a shakedown was coming!

    The last time I was at any type of assembly it was a good 17 or 18 years ago. I had forgotten how long those days were...I could not imagine trying to go with 3 kids in tow like my mom did on her own. Just looking at those times and lengths of talks

    I am so glad I have a life now

    That's the place I used to go to.

    Me too, Elsewhere.

    My husband usually rode with another elder so they could get there early to take care of some drivel, so I had to find a ride, usually with the wife of the other elder, and her kids. But I had to get up really early to make the lunches and pack them into the bag. Then we had to stay late to clean our area-generally vacuuming.

    Oh, yes, had to wash and vacuum the car, get the suits cleaned, new clothes, books assembled, etc. so as not to bring reproach........

    Also, sometimes there was no place to sit for lunch after searching for the lunch container and going upstairs. They did have a lovely piece of property-don't know why they couldn't put trees in-looked so barren.

    There are many, many people there that I know, I'm sure.

    Mines is next weekend in Spanish March 7th. I attended in my old circuit Yesterday on the 28th Feb. I got quite a few notes....and some pretty good gems or quotes.

    I can say it was allllll about doing more. Yes friends we know your house is being foreclosed, but can you do more ?

    We know you're eating ramien noodles but can you do more ?

    We know you're living paycheck to paycheck,but can you do more ?

    Yes friends, the economy is tanking an people are losing jobs left and right,but don't worry. You can find happiness in the field Minsitry !!!!

    Look for alot more notes and qoutes tommorow.
