Our last day at the Fall Foodbank outdoor produce distribution.   Jeremiah cames to the Foodbank with his Grandma and Elder Stratton made him a "cabbage hat" and then everybody wanted one!                                                                                     

 We have been visiting seminary and institute classes and traveling quite a bit the last two weeks.  This week we went to North Branch which is south of us and is a ward-confused yet?  There are two seminary classes in the ward, one at the church and one at a member's home, far from the church. Then we went to Pine City for seminary and  then finally home.  I caught a cold and have been coughing and then I went to the doctor to see why my foot was hurting so much and I have broken a bone!  So now I wear a boot and it is tiring to hoist it along but my foot feels so much better!

Ron ordered some running boards for the truck to make it easier to get in.  Last week we gave some rides to a college girl and she is shorter than me and had quite a time getting into the truck.  So it seemed like a good time to order some running boards.  He had them almost installed and asked the Elders for some help.  Here they are in their suits tightening the bolts.

            

 These are the Elders and Sisters that come to our house for a missionary correlation meeting with the ward mission leader... and breakfast.

We went to Minneapolis to a mission conference and Elder Carlson was the visiting general authority and we went to meetings all day long.  Surprisingly, I loved going to meetings all day long.  There have been many times in the past where I wouldn't have enjoyed sitting and listening all day.  And now, I know you are all wondering how Ron did!  We all know he isn't one to sit still for long, right?  Well, he is a changed man.  He can now sit through hours and hours of meetings and remember what he hears.  I know, it's a miracle.

So we went out on Saturday night with our non-member friends to eat at the Duluth Grill.  On their dessert menu was a "When pigs fly" bacon-caramel sundae.  Now, wouldn't you have ordered it just to see what it was like?  Yeah, we did.  And here it is.  Three scoops of vanilla ice cream with caramel drizzled over the top.  On one side are chopped pecans and on the other side crumbled smoked cherry wood bacon and on the top, sea salt.  It was wonderfully good in a sweet and salty kind of way.  So now you want to come to Duluth to visit, right?
