         Cockroach Story Number Two:  When Glade was finished for the day, he went upstairs to his locker to change into his street clothes before going home.  Each cubicle has three full-length lockers and four short ones.  His locker is a tall one.  He put his key in the lock, turned it, and opened the locker.  There on the inside of the door about eye level was a big brown cockroach just clinging to the metal!  Amazingly it didn’t flee, which is so typical, but just stayed there on the door.  He searched frantically for a “weapon” and finally grabbed his glass case and whapped it!  Well, of course, it disappeared and he couldn’t find it any place.  He gingerly lifted each sock and checked in his shoes—no cockroach.  Next he cautiously lifted his lunch bag and zooooooooooooom, that bug was on the run.  He grabbed his shoe and whapped it again—this time scoring a hit!  He scooped it up in a tissue and that was that!  It is a good thing it was in his locker and not mine.  I will be so nervous for days now!

         While I was on the treadmill this morning, I listened to Pres. Packer’s talk from the April 2013 General Conference which was just two weeks before we left on our mission.  It was such a great talk and it kept me inspired all day.  I also watched several Church video clips on my kindle, which I haven’t done much before, and found them to be wonderful.  It was a nice change from just listening to music, although that is a good option, too.

         Love and prayers to you all!  Good Night!
