What a great weekend.  I have always looked forward to General Conference weekends in April and October.  So much is happening.  The Lord is moving His work forward at a fast pace.  The Prophets and Apostles are as watchmen on the tower, warning us of the dangers of this day, and teaching of the power of our Savior, Jesus Christ, to guide and strengthen us.  These are exciting times.  Eight more  Temple locations were announced.  There are 166 operating Temples around the world with about 50 more announced, or in process of being renovated, or constructed.  People throughout the world will be able to attend temples much closer to where they live.

The weather was a little warmer this week--back into the mid to high 90s.  The forecast is for that to change on Thursday, putting us into the 80s for highs, with lows in the 50s and low 60s.  Very happy about that.

My cherry tomato plant now has 2 little blossoms.  The other plant doesn't have a blossom yet but is growing.

We are having more and more people coming to serve in the ROC which means Sister T and I will be helping with training.   I enjoy that.  One of the new people will be in our room, at the desk next to mine, all day on Tuesdays and mornings on Thursdays.  She came on Thursday and I think she will catch on very quickly.  I would guess she's in her 50s or early 60s.  However, I'm terrible at guessing ages.  I am not positive, but think I'm the 5th oldest person serving.  There is a  a man and a woman both 90, and a  woman and a man, both 87.  

We have been given some new projects this past week which I am enjoying.  There are 4 or 5 now that I rotate between.  It's nice to have a change and it keeps my mind sharp because the instructions for each project differ as do the forms.
