The New School Year

This is the busy season for us. We are driving the hiways and by-ways of ND looking for students to join the on-line seminary class. There are about 30 living in small towns within our stake, and we are trying to contact and then visit them in a two week period. It's slo-o-o-w going. We have put on 1000 miles since Sunday, and we will be on the road Saturday and Sunday to round out the week. We also have some new seminary classes and teachers just being formed. We're meeting some great people. This push will soon be over and all the seminary classes will be off and running. A wonderful woman was called to teach the on-line seminary class, so she will take over that responsibility as soon as she finishes the training.

We're also working on the YSA Conference to be held in Bismarck Sep 10-12, inspecting missionary apartments and cars, and a handful of other projects. North Dakota is in the middle of the harvest time - we see combines in the fields with the wheat, the sun flowers bending over as the seeds get heavy, fields of flax, canola and soybeans. It's a beautiful time of year, and it will be our last look at the ND growing season, so we are trying to fill our minds and memories with the beauty all around us. Life is good.
