          Brother and Sister Starkey invited us last week to have dinner with them to day.  They invited another couple as well, a very young couple who met at a university in Wyoming just after he finished his mission.  She is Honduran and he is from Lovell, Wyoming.  She has a degree in Civil Engineering and he is preparing to go to dental school in The States after they get her paperwork in order so they can move.   

Meanwhile, he is attending school and studying his difficult prep courses in Spanish and they live with her parents.  She studied English for a year in the US on a scholarship and speaks it pretty well, but was “sent” by the committee to Wyoming instead of New York where she wanted to go for the English courses.  However, the bonus is that she met her husband there.  They are an adorable couple.  Brother Starkey had offered to give him a “father’s blessing” as he begins this school year since his father can’t do it for him.  So the blessing followed the meal and it was all very nice.

Glade accompanied Brother Torres to make High Priest visits tonight.  The visits were great, but he came home with several bug bites that are giving him fits.  He jumped in the shower to get some relief—I hope the bugs weren’t in his clothes because he put his suit away already.  

Enjoy September!  It will soon be winding down and will be time for pumpkins and cider by the fire!  Good night!!

Sister Clark stepped out and took this photo so I could be one, too.
