Another week come and gone--transfers again. Saying goodbye gets hard. We said goodbye to the Naegles, our wonderful Self Reliance senior couple. We will miss them so much, but wish them well in "civilian life".
Among events this week--Elder Whiting and President Clark traveled north in the mission on Saturday to attend to mission business. Sister Whiting drove for the first time--and didn't hit anyone and no one hit her. Wahoo!
This post will be short, but with lots of pictures. The office elders finally got us the pics of them trying to drive through the floodwaters of Typhoon Lando, and we wanted to include them in this post. They ended up turning back because the water got too deep. But they were able to go another route to help our missionaries who were affected by the flooding.
We leave you with this poem from Grandma Muhlestein:
"Give to the needy sweet Charity's bread,
For giving is living the angel said.
But must I keep giving again and again?
My peevish and pitiless curt answer ran.
Oh no, said the angel, piercing me through.
Just give 'till the Savior stops giving to you."
