Saturday we celebrated Relief Society's 170th birthday! We had a luncheon at our branch building. Our Relief Society president made lasagna and I made "Banana Jell-o" and we had relish trays and Cake for dessert. Nothing fancy, but not bad for China.
Then we did a craft: vinyl lettering on a tile "Families Are Forever". Melanie made the lettering and mailed them to me. Jennifer Lee and I found the tiles for 1 yuan each $.16 and I bought easels to put them on for 10 yuan each $1.56. They turned out very nice and everyone was pleased with them. We had 11 sisters present, out of 17.
At the same time Dad and the Priests, two of them, cleaned out the garage at our building. We meet in a house. As they hauled junk out to the sidewalk the neighbors came to investigate. They were told that they could take whatever they wanted. They took it all! Even a portable baptismal font that had holes in it. Later we noticed some of the Christmas decorations that had been thrown out on the fence of the house across the street! And this is in a well-to-do gated community. Now you can park 2 cars in the garage!
Here when you rent a house the landlord doesn't fix anything. It's the renters responsibility if they want anything fixed, like the plaster that's falling off the wall, or the gap in the skylight that doesn't close tightly. TIC TIC TIC! Looking forward to a good week! Love you !! Mom XXOO
