Thursday and Another Big Day

We both slept well last night. After we got up and dressed and had our breakfasts, we listened to the news  and later went on to our caucus. There was an awful lot unnecessary discussion. But that's always the way it is.Some people just like to hear themselves talk.

At the legislation session we mostly discussed the Silencing with Reason type of legislation. There was a lot of trying to get the devices to work. Finally the engineer suggested we turn our other devices, such as cell phones and tablets to "airplane mode". That did it. Finally everyone was able to use their voting devices.  We passed the new silencing with reason legislation. Then they recessed until 2:00PM.

At lunchtime, I fixed a large bowl of salad and Leslie went to the laundry and did our laundry.

Time to go back...more later...

We got back to the Auditorium and considered the budget again. We learned this week that there are only 9,000 active members in Canada and the USA only has 10,000 active members although the church has grown again throughout the rest of the world. I have a feeling that between Canada and the USA, we are the main contributors to the budget.

Before we called it a day to the business meeting, we took some surveys. Then we had a hymn and a benediction and were dismissed.

Leslie and I went right over to Clinton's Drug Store and had a turtle Sundae . It was delicious!  I am going to offer to buy John one on Saturday since he did my yard work while I was gone this week.

It's supposed to get cold this evening. It's already 50 degrees. Leslie turned on the heat so the RV would be nice and warm by bedtime.

We are due to be back to the Auditorium at 7:00PM for the worship service.  When we get back, we will take our showers and get ready for bed. We generally go to bed at 9:00PM or 9:30PM  since we are so tired by then.
