Another wonderful day! This morning, we left the apartment early to do some shopping, when we returned we saw President Cottle and his wife over in the parking lot by the young Elder's apartment. We waved and walked over to see what was going on. Without going into details, President Cottle said he came to pick up our Zone Leaders, they were being transferred! It was very sudden, but they were needed somewhere else. We will miss Elders Heiner and Hunstman.

This afternoon, we had the opportunity to visit two more of our Sisters. We first visited with Sister Swartz and had a nice visit with her. Her knee had been bothering her, but through some good physical therapy it was doing much better. We then were able to visit Sister Mack; she gave us some great news today. Her husband will be returning in 4 weeks; his tour of duty is being shortened, so even though he will miss Thanksgiving, he will be home for Christmas.

This evening we visited the Sanders family for two reasons; 1. To see how Sister Sanders is coming along, she is getting better slowly, obviously not fast enough for her; 2. To say so long to her mother in law, Sandy; she has been here around a month now, but has been a wonderful asset to Crystal. We will miss seeing her and hope that she has a safe trip home tomorrow. Crystal's own mother will be coming out in a week or two. So we will have the opportunity to meet her also.

This evening, our institute class discussed the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. We discussed their purpose, their responsibilities and our need to pray for them, to listen to them, and to do as they teach us. It turned out to be a wonderful lesson.
