Time is just flying.  I can't believe it is the end of July.  We keep going to the library and working with the people and also doing our own family history.  Both of which are productive and enjoyable.  We have begun going to the Gospel Essentials class and helping the sister missionaries with their contacts.  This has been fun.  I have been asked to lead the music in Relief Society until I am finished with the mission which is a great joy to me.  I love to lead music.

We went to Grauman's Chinese theatre and looked over the hand and footprints of the stars.

This summer has been fun because Megan came with Melissa and Emma (our two oldest grandchildren 12 & 11) on a Tuesday

And then Mark, Angie, and our new little grandchild, Ethan, came on Thursday.
















With the girls we got to go see Les Miserables at the Ahmanson in Los Angeles.  During the day they went to see the sites of LA while Warren and I worked at the library.  When Mark and his family came, we, along with the girls, went to Mormon Night at Dodger stadium and got to see another Dodger game (Brett and Heather had come a few weeks earlier and we saw a Dodger game with them too).  Being on a senior mission at the family history library is fun in that when we are not at the library or needed for something else,  we can go with our family.  We also saw an old car museum while they were here that was just fascinating.  It was great being able to see our new little grandson who is only four months old!!!!!

This Model A is the same one I had as my first car in 1958. Mine was not this nice looking, but I had one and it ran!









We are enjoying being able to serve the Lord here in LA.  We are so close to the temple that we get to find our ancestors in the library and then do their ordinance work at the temple - a great plan. 

Well, it's been fun talking.  Warren added the pictures.

(yes I did add them, terrible arrangement but have been trying for an hour and am leaving it for now so the blog is posted. By the way family, more are in the link I sent you a month ago if you want to seem them all)
