August 20th

I don't know why I am looking like I am dying in this picture

August 20^th is transfer day. It was so fun to see so many of the missionaries and have them tell me how much they love me.  Sister Spenser commented that they will never love me like they do you and I told her that I felt the same when Kaspers left.

I was able to get several pictures with the sisters.  It turned out to be a rainy day in Austin.  There were several visitors to the transfer meeting that were returned TSAMERs so there were a lot of talks, especially at the Austin meeting.

We went to transfers by ourselves and Spensers rode with Fergusons or Williamses because we had to go pick up the kids at their school before Bingo Night.  Sara was working with us good because last year was such a disaster.  Even though she said that they might not be finished until about 5:45 p.m. or 6:00 p.m when we got there they were already finished so we were able to pick the kids up at the openhouse and meet the teacher night and went to Bingo at 5:30 p.m.

Honey Bishop took Nathan to Bingo night.  I guess she is the one that has been taking him although I thought it was Ken Jackson.  It was a little awkward but it worked out okay.  The year before we had made a big deal about our birthdays with the people who run the Bingo night but we had not been for so long that we didn’t make a big deal of it this year.  The kids had fun going to the playground for a few minutes after, it was nice to have it fairly light tonight.
