Our /week started with Tuesday since I don't remember anything worthwhile about Monday!
Tuesday I worked more on sheetrock and we got ready for Miranda's family. They (less Dan) arrived late Tuesday night and stayed through Saturday morning. As usual, they brought fun and laughter to the home. Ethan wanted to rake leaves into a big pile, so he and Miranda worked hard at building a large pile which then got transferred to the burn pile. Alex helped me make chocolate chip cookies one day. Miranda cleaned the house and prepared yummy meals for us. The boys had fun playing games, and of course Rachel delighted us all with her captivating smile and laugh. She has also found the lower cabinet with the storage containers and likes to pull them out and hide them.
Sandy had her weekly appointment with the wound healing center on Wednesday afternoon. The wounds seem to be healing nicely. And she is still wearing the same ostomy bag from that day without any leakage! We invited the sister missionaries to dinner and had an enjoyable visit with them.
Thursday she had her first immunotherapy at the oncologists. Took less than three hours and this time there was no reaction. She then had an appointment with her Chinese healer. She did not seemed overly tired by day's end. And we had the sister missionaries return for a second night of dinner. One of them is a runner and received permission to participate in a 5K run in November; her running companion will be Miranda, since she and Dan are running as well. The other missionary is returning home this week. Our sisters over the past year or so have been doing amazing things for the members and the community.
Friday I helped drive a group of seven from our ward to the St Louis Temple, leaving at 4:30 am and returning about 9:00 pm. We had a great time. In my absence, it rained about an inch of moisture and Deborah arrived in the evening.
Miranda left Saturday morning and things got a little quieter. It was a quiet day for all of us. I did take some time to familiarize myself with our 'new to us' van. I think we have the paperwork snafu solved so that we can get it registered this week.
We had a good Sunday with excellent sacrament meeting talks and subsequent class lessons.
This next week we hope to make a two day trip to the temple.
