This morning, Elder Gowans finally received his new crown, on my tooth of course. Anyway, while they were at it, the dentist repaired a chipped tooth, an old war injury from 1994. The original repair work had crumbled away at some point in time.

This evening, we went out to see the Sanders family. Brother Sanders seems to be doing very well in his recovery from his operation. Also, Lena is home; it was so nice to see her. Her grandma Sanders was there too, so we were able to meet her. She is a very sweet woman. It would be wonderful if she could leave with a positive attitude toward the church and eventually be taught the gospel. We then had a nice evening with Brother DeLong. He is a wonderful fellow. We enjoy helping him grow in the gospel. He has made some great improvements in his life.

We booked our trip home for Joe's wedding today. We are really excited about this wonderful family event and of course for Joe and Sarah and her family; soon to be their family.

Her are some photos Elder Gowans took of some beautiful Crape Myrtle trees. They have been blossoming all summer. They are white, pink, purple, red; they are really quite a lovely tree.
