Week 10 (Nov. 17 - 23)
The main activity for this week has been putting up Christmas decorations at the Visitors Center and the Johnson's Residence. We have still had a few tours each day during our shift and Elder Ogden has done most of them. He is an amazing missionary.

The tourists have definitely slowed down with the colder weather. I don't think we have had as much snow as Utah and everyone comments on the nice Fall weather this year. However, the morning temperatures and the North wind are positively COLD!
The weeks seem to zoom by with our routine schedule and a few variations. Here is a run-down of this past week:
Monday - Family Home Evening group
Tuesday - Decorated Visitors Center
Wednesday - Decorated Johnson's house
Thursday - Took a road trip with Sister Shefchick.
This is Mac Niel's account:
Thursday morning we were up early as we were asked to accompany Sister (Judy) Shefchick as she did inspections for missionary apartments. Rhonda went into the apartments with her and said that some of them were pretty bad. She didn’t think missionaries should be living in such bad places. I guess I was just along for the ride. We went to apartments in West Rutland and Rutland VT (plus supplies to the Chapel), Crown Point New York, and Middlebury VT. Also made a little backtrack to a WalMart to buy a few supplies (mops, garbage cans, blinds, etc) for missionaries along the way. I was really impressed with the Liberal Arts College in Middlebury. They really had some fancy buildings and quite a few of them. Finally got back to the apartment about 5:30 (well after dark). Judy tried to show us a new Joseph Smith Memorial Sign she was responsible for getting erected along Interstate 89 but it was too dark to really see it good.
