Three Hills

Sister Thompson informed Brian on Sunday that after he and the elders finished putting the stove back together last Tuesday that they tried to light the back burner and a big swoosh of fire came out and they hadn't been able to use the stove.  Brian called Rohan and the elders to see if they wanted to go back out to Sister Thompson's and take another look at the stove.  Since the elder's service project had cancelled, they agreed to go.  Five hours later, the stove was put back together and working.  Of course, that includes the time it took to go back into town to pick up parts.  The oven is still not working.  Brian thinks it is probably the igniter.  He gave Sister Thompson the phone number for a stove repairman.  As they were all gathered around the stove, I asked them, "How many elders does it take to repair a stove?"  They all laughed remembering the old saying, "how many people does it take to unscrew a light bulb."

Tuesday night we took Rohan and Tracy, Sister Vacianna, and Sister Henry out for Chinese food.  They worked so hard on the branch Christmas party that Brian told them that he would take them out to dinner.  We had a nice visit and they all seemed to enjoy the food.  We had sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour port, sweet and sour fish, chow mein, cashew nut chicken, peppered beef, and special fried rice.  Sister Alexander and her daughter Anika were not able to join us.   Anika is going to school in Kingston and Sister Alexander did not want to make the hour long trip into Ocho from Brown's Town.
