Independence Day

This morning as we began the laundry, we found out the hoses on the washer were attached opposite to what they should be. We dashed out of the apartment early so we could attend the Grovetown ward Independence day breakfast. We thought that it would be a good time for us to see how many of the families are doing. We found that one brother is being med boarded out of the Army and will go on terminal leave this month. They are worried about finding work; jobs in and for the government have become much more scarce and difficult to find. We will do all we can to help him.

When we arrived back home, we found the washer hadn't run, so it was then we learned that who ever had hooked the washer up and got the hoses on backwards. So that set us back several hours in getting the laundry done.

This evening we attended a BBQ with the Meachams and the other missionaries in our district. We had a real nice time eating delicious beans, potato salad, hamburgers and birthday cake and ice cream. Sister Grimm celebrated her birthday yesterday and Elder Pack made her a big cake. We have had a real nice day. We are so thankful that the weather for most of the last  month has been stormy in the afternoons, it really keeps the temperature in respectful areas of comfort. It has really been a blessing.
