Hi Everyone --

This was a pretty quiet week. It hasn't rained too much, and it's gotten much hotter -- because the cloud cover is lifting. There still isn't enough rain to fill the reservoirs, but there's still time.

We went shopping at Tulsibaug for trinkets for Shiney to take back to friends and family in the US. I picked up some things for our families and some cake dresses for my magic trunk.

Heather had the packers and movers there for 3 days. We went over one day to keep her company as she had to be there in the apartment with them. We also went to a farewell party for Heather and Chris at another friend's house. It was quite a party. I made homemade salsa and homemade chips. It was a hit!

Saturday we went to pick up Mom's trunk. It turned out really nice and it's just cute! We have a "before" and "after" picture -- I'm sure you can tell which is which.



We also went to the movies yesterday. We saw "Race to Witch Mountain", which Hannah assures me was out on DVD a year ago. It was a fun movie and an OK way to spend an afternoon. There really haven't been any English movies for a while and also the movie theatres have been closed due to the swine flu panic. The kids are back in school now (mostly) and the rest will be in school next week. There are still teenagers dying from this -- it seems that this is the largest group succumbing to the infection.

Today we had 7 at church. We are still having the temple prep lessons, and they are going well. Only 2 left and that's it! I know I've learned a lot from them.

I guess that's it for this week. We love you and miss you!
Love, Lucinda
