Earthquake

Today we were teaching Elvis with the Sister Missionaries when we thought we heard a large dog scratching at the front door then the house starting REALLY shaking.  Dad told everyone to get under the doorway and then the Sisters asked him to say a prayer.  Elvis had been telling us that he believed everything we had been teaching him but he has been praying to God to tell him whether or not he should change churches.  The Sisters promised him that he would get an answer to his prayers when ....  Hmmmm..........  The Sisters were upset and excited.  This is quite unusual for this area.  Glad we weren't at the apartment because it is old and brick but seems to be still standing. 

Sailing

Last Saturday the Senior Couples went sailing and a crab boil.  A Stake President and Patriarch who live on the Chesapeak bay invited us and we had a great time.  I could really like the sailing stuff.  The bay was calm so I imagine on the open ocean it might be ruffer.  The crab was delicious but getting the meat out was labor intensive.  They are trying to arrange a tour of the White House for December.  We are having a great time.  Dad has had the flu the last week but is not on the mend except for a cough.  We love and miss you.
