Today is Sherry's 57th birthday. Kind of melancholy since her dad died on his 57th birthday of a massive and sudden heart attack - and her brother died at age 58 the same way. Of course we had extensive EKG/stress test/treadmill/radioactive dye/MRI things before we left home and our hearts are fine. The sad part of the day is when we realize how much life her Dad missed - and how lonely her Mom was - she was only 48 when Sherry's Dad died. Sherry was only 16.
Drove to Engels after church and had dinner with Pres. K and his family. His son turned 37 today as well. We have a picture of that as well.
We went on an overnight trip to Balakova - about three hours away by car. Other than President Kosmynin falling asleep at the wheel it was uneventful getting there. We attended a two student seminary class (picture attached) and went to dinner at a very loud rock and roll bar/resturant. Turned out a member of the branch was in the band playing. He hadn't been to church in a while but came and sat with us - and showed up at church today! His mom was pretty surprised and happy to see him.
Home tonight and made a couple of desserts for FHE tomorrow. we're having a Thanksgiving Dinner and Activity. We're fixing food for twenty so we'll see who attends.
