Greetings

Hi,

Now picture the scene... it's 6.30am, it's wet & windy - average day in England I guess - and we're heading south on the motorway. What a better pick me up than AC/Dc & 'Hells Bells' blasting thru' the car stereo !!!

After a quarter hour and a few miles, we pick J up from his work - knackered as usual after a night shift - and head off into town to deliver an Easter cake to the missionaries who are serving in our Ward... only they've moved !!!

So, it's now about 7.30am and we give them a call.... only to have a very vague voice on the other end of the line. So we tracked them down and find them on the doorstep of their 'new' home - both without shoes, and only in sweat shirts and shorts - in the rain & in the very cold morning air.

It turns out, the vague voice on the end of the phone is a brand new Missionary - only on his first morning in our Ward... he wasn't being vague, he had no idea who we were OR probably where he was !! What a strange welcome to our homes & hearts !!

It was all worth it tho' to see the look on their faces when they saw the cake - chocolate, with mini eggs on the top... we have to look after the guys, they are a long ways from home after all + it's nice to know they are normal guys under their suits.... bless them all !!

It's now 6.15pm - it's been a long day (for me at least) and Ritchie Blackmore's 'Rainbow' is blasting thru' the speakers. A new album to me called 'Stranger In Us All' - it came out quite a few years ago, but this is the first time I've heard it... any Rainbow fans out there ? Is there anybody out there ? Anywhere ????????

Oh well - ti's Easter weekend & to make it more special, it's Conference weekend.... some of you will know what I mean, for those who don't... well not to worry.

Good night World !!!
