This evening, we had the opportunity to teach Brother Kyle Janssen; we arrived a few minutes early and saw that our young missionaries hadn't arrived yet, so we commenced a review of the previous lesson and then launched into the lesson on the Plan of Salvation. About 10 or 15 minutes later they arrived and so from there on out we shared the instruction. The evening went real well with Kyle; we feel that the lesson on the Lord's Plan of Salvation for us is a real turning point in some people's gospel education. It opens up for view to the investigator how wondrous our potential truly is. His eyes were really opened up to vast expanse of eternity and what our part is in this wondrous plan of our Heavenly Father.

From there we took Stephanie Janssen with us to visit Sister Dixon and her son Jack. We've been trying to help her get acquainted with other sisters in the area. We reviewed with them the commandments of our Father in Heaven, paying particular attention to keeping the Sabbath Day, Church attendance, the need for commandments. Sister Janssen was really glad she went, she enjoyed sharing her experiences and her testimony with Sister Dixon and Jack.

Then we get home: As we walk in the door we see pieces of ceiling all over the counter along with puddles of water here and there. We look above the counter and see obvious signs of water coming down through the ceiling. Elder Gowans went and knocked on the door upstairs and the fellow who lives there opened up; Elder Gowans explained what was going on, he went to look under the sink and sure enough it was very wet. Our upstairs neighbor said he would call about it in the morning. That was fine, they wouldn't run any more water down the drain and so we thought we would be fine. Elder Gowans then walked over to the Meacham's apartment to check on it. He opened the door and there in the middle of the floor was a large puddle of water and huge pieces of ceiling hanging down and laying on the floor. Well, to make a long story short, he went to get Sister Gowans to help clean the mess up and at the same time we called After Hours Emergency;  they came out in 5 minutes. The upstairs apartment was being renovated and the renovators had left the under-sink valve slightly open so it was dripping, that drip turned into a puddle and soon the puddle began working its way through the floor and into the Meacham's ceiling; and now the ceiling is on the floor.

As you can tell, it has been an interesting evening. We don't know if we will tell the Meacham's or not :)!
