This is Patriarch Quinn and me after I received my Blessing. He and his wife were very gracious and kind, and their home was lovely. They took this photo Sunday afternoon. I received this pic & the next one along with a copy of my Blessing today. I was so excited--everyone told me it would be a couple of weeks.
This is my friend Sherry and her very handsome son, who took me to St. Helens for the Blessing.

OK, I have a confession to make. I didn't get the tape finished and the box isn't sent yet. I am so ashamed. Every time I would try to read one of the books with animal sounds, the dogs would bark. I decided to go to Astoria to pick up my new glasses (yay, everything is sharp and in focus again). Then I spent almost 4 hours kickin it with the missionaries at the church this afternoon (I am indeed a fun old woman). I might still be there with them if they hadn't been invited to dinner somewhere else. We started off talking about--wait, what did we start off talking about? It was good, and the Young Elders even brought out their scriptures, but I am having a senior moment, or a menopausal moment and I am having a hard time remembering. It was a great conversation, and I learned a lot, both about doctrine and about the life of a missionary. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh, yeah, I was confessing my incompleted promise and about to beg for forgiveness. I will stay up tonight until the tape is done, and put the dog (Tucker of course) in the car if I have to. I might try tying him up with duct tape.
