Hi everybody, Sun. Nov 9th from Nancy & LeGrand
Hi everybody, Sun. Nov 9th
I finally got Internet for my computer...We have been here in Redvale Co. for over 2 months. we really like it here...it's so much like home. We are out in the country (ten miles to the church and store) We have mountains all around us. It's beautiful on the east end near Telluride, but much like fruitland on the west end with lots of ceder trees and rocks. Our mission is 75 miles long and we do a lot of traveling. We drive to Montrose every week to District meetings (it takes 1 1/2 hours each way. but it is a very beautiful drive along the San Juan Mountains and San Miguel river.
We are continuely running into people that we know or they know some one we know. I even found a second cousin, Tam DeMile. He is the second counsler in the Branch Presidency. He G Grand father is Freeborn DeMille and that is ours also. He is a very likable guy and rather good looking ...of course!!
We have a Cole Checketts that is in the Branch that worked with Diane and Darrens Dustin in the Meat plant when he was going to school in Logan...He sure thought Dustin was a good kid. It was good to run onto Dustin in the Mission home. Sounds like he is having some experiences he could do without in his mission.
Our Mission is to activate the inactive, and believe me there are a lot of them here. we have 8 going to church so far, some hadn't been there in years. we are teaching a family of five now, and that is excieting. I like it when we are busy, but some times we aren't and that hard for me.
I talked to Nelda tonight and she said Leon is coming along. He has casts from his hips to his ankles and can only sit up with his legs out straight. he is hoping he will be able to walk in three more weeks, but may take longer. they are really hopeing that the transplant knee caps work...if they don't she didn't know what will happen. She comes home on week ends, He is in a rehabilation place in SLC. His children are there and they take care of him on week ends. It's pretty rough for both of them.
Our son Dean, and his family are in Orlalndo today in Disney World and will leave tomarrow on a Cruise to the Bahams for a week. We just talked to him and it sounds like they are having a lot of fun...there are 14 of them (some are friends).
I hope this makes it on the Blob...I had a hard time finding how to put it on....
Love to all....Elder and Sister Gilbert
