Carol got a new cute little kitty. Steve and Jaime's kids just loved it.
Ethan, Carol, Gracie
Elsa, Kitty, Anna



We all went to Pioneer Point in Salt Lake here I am by the cute little lambs. They made me homesick for Lilly!!!




We took a hay ride through the park.



There were all kinds of activities because of Halloween. Here Steve's family made cutouts

 At each historic house the kids could trick or treat. they sure had fun.

Well I can't belive this but I had a picture of This is the Place Monument
and I went to fix a spelling a nd POOF it is gone.
So just pretend it is here. It was a monument where Brigham Young looked over the valley and said
"This is the Place"
and so became Salt Lake City.

Neal auditioned to sing at the MTC.
Their are so many talented people here that Neal said he was just happy to try out.  Well after he auditioned the person in charge went crazy over Neal and fit him in to sing at the opening meeting for the new Sr couples. the room was full and he did a great job. For the next few days people would come up and tell him what a great job he did.  He sang "The Lord's Prayer"
Kathy Lund was his accompanist. That was a real special day for Neal.

Here we are with a group of New Swedish Missionaries. We all sang in the Missionary Choir at a

Devotional. Our good friend, Doug Brenchley was our director.  It was fun to sing with him. There were probably 150 choir members.

Even though I didn't go to the game it was fun to be here during BYU's Homecoming.

there were a lot of festivities going on. BYU won the game so everyone was happy.

 We have been at the MTC so long now that I have made friends with the head of the salad department. I asked if we could have a tour of the kitchen and she had pull so told us a time to come. WOW the kitchen is amazing. They feed about 2,500 missionaries 3 meals a day!! This is a huge pot that they were making scalloped potatoes in for dinner. Each person has a task and each area has their own walk in refrigerators and supplies.

 This is the laundry room. The missionaries are in districts and are assigned a time to go to the laundry. This is only 1/2 of the room. Missionaries study where ever they are. there are some tables but most will sit on the floor or on the washers to the right!!! There is a dry cleaners in here also. To get to the laundry you go down a cement tunnel!!!

 Brother and Sister Buchanen are the couple over all the Sr couples. They are the best.  They are the ones that arranged for Neal's Dr's appointments and also drove us to his appointments.

 Michael's business is growing and he was able to purchase another machine for his Rapid Prototyping.
The company will be coming to set it up and get it running. He still has a job with Flex Pak as the head IT man.

We had dinner at Carol's on Sunday. we had gone to Steve's to see the grand kids be in the Primary program.  there Primary is huge. the kids did a great job. Carol made a fall dinner of soup and then Carmel
apples.  She cut up the apples and melted the carmels in a fondue pot and had cruhed up candy bars. So we dipped the apples in the carmel and then in the candy bars.  Much easier to eat then a whole apple!!!
