A Quiet Week

Last Sunday, Sister Porter accompanied the Relief Society President to visit a family with a new baby.  The newborn is tiny and had to come early by C-section for the sake of the mom's health, so we were delighted to see how well both are doing (video below). 

We were back to a full schedule of English classes, although no children came this week.  We made several visits, including to the home of these new members, who fed us dinner after a lesson about the priesthood.  

Elder Porter also brought the paperwork to get their children listed as children of record.  Elder Porter has been working with the branch clerk to clean up the branch records to be much more accurate!

On Tuesday, Sister Porter came down with a nasty cold, so we cut back on our schedule and stayed in most of Thursday.  It evolved into a sinus infection, with several nights of poor sleep.  Elder Porter kindly made a pot of chicken soup for her!

We spent time helping the young missionaries get their houses working better, including fixing the washing machine at the sister's home and arranging for an air-conditioning service.  

Elder Porter took this wonderful sunset shot from our balcony.  The development on the horizon is a mixed retail/residential complex with two towers.  The name:  Manhattan.
