August 7th

Larry and I stayed up a little late looking at things on Facebook last night after the debate so when the alarm went off we rolled over and waited for the 7:00 a.m. alarm

Today we had to go to Austin for Zone trainings.  When I put the address in the Google Maps I was surprised to find out it is less time to the Austin Building than to the Oak Hills building even though Austin is further North.  Elder Williams says that it because we do not know how to get there without GPS. HaHa

We were distracted for a few minutes with Facebook but we finally got going and were glad it was not so far because we left about 15 minutes after 9:00 a.m.  Larry drove and I told him about comments on Facebook about last night’s debate.  I just started that for a few minutes and the next thing I knew we were in Austin.  We were excited to find out that Ben Carson had increased his following by 230,000 on Facebook last night and He had 400,000 tweets about him on Twitter during the debate.

We went in and listened to the Zone leader training again and were amazed at the wonderful job they do.

Larry went first and showed his videos and then I went.  The website on the IPads I wanted to talk about was up and functioning until just before I went up but then of course it decides that it is not accessible.  So after trying two times to get it up I just described it like yesterday.  The Sisters today thought I was a hoot so it makes it easier to present if they get your jokes although most of my jokes are just things I say that I learned from Dad.

We went to “Jack in the box” to get lunch because it is Larry’s favorite.  I like it now too because they have some good salads but until this year I really did not understand why Larry liked it so much.

We went back to the office after that.  We got there in good time and had time to do a number of things.  I had several referrals waiting for me to put in.  Sister Williams is such an angel to take over that part of my job when I am gone.  I got more things accomplished but still left with several things waiting.

Larry spent time going over the vehicles that he is going to sell.  He has a lot to do with cleaning them out and getting them fixed before they sell.  He also needs to take out the Tiwis and send them back to the Church’s vehicle department.

Elder Williams wanted me to go by the Salado Springs Apartments that are close to ours and drop off a lease agreement and a check to hold it for the Spencers so we left about 5:30 p.m. and came home.  We made dinner read scriptures and other things and finally went to bed
