Hal and I enjoyed a fun evening this past Saturday at BYU. It was a buffet dinner with Big Band music, a show and dancing. Hal and I have never been really wonderful dancers, but we did have fun listening and dancing (we did alright for a couple of kind of old people!) to some great music. We went with 2 other couples from our Salem Ward and it was fun to get better acquainted with them. We even ran into one of our returned missionaries and his date - it was great to see them!
Sunday found us at the MTC. Hal starts early on Sunday mornings (7:30 AM with Branch Presidency Meeting) and the day is filled with meetings until about 3:00 PM. We eat lunch with the missionaries in our branch and we are getting to know them better each time we go. We do love this opportunity to be with missionaries again and there truly is a wonderful spirit at the MTC. This past Wednesday we received 26 new missionaries (North American missionaries who will learn Russian) and this Wednesday we will receive 11 new missionaries from Russian speaking countries. It brought back sweet memories to sing the hymns in Russian again and to participate in classes with the missionaries. This coming Sunday we will speak in Sacrament Meeting ( we will speak once each month). If Jessica has her baby - I will be off to California and Hal will have to take my speaking time as well as his!

Great job Patty! See you had lots of stuff to blog about. Looks like you had a fun Valentine's "date". Good luck to Jessica and have fun with the missionaries :)
