Update from Seattle

No new pictures, but I thought I would update you on a couple of things. First, Luke didn't get his job at the airline in Bellingham, as they had forgotten he would not work Sunday's. However, when he went back to the fish processing place on the Lummi Indian reservation where he has been driving a delivery truck and gutting salmon, they took him back, and put him in the office to do the bookkeeping for them. Needless to say, he doesn't miss scraping fish guts with an ice cream scoop, and this will be good experience for him while he pursues his accounting degree.

Wet weather has come early this year to the Seattle area, so watch for more flooding stories, windstorms, and snow storms. Not quite the nice gentle fall that we are used to here.

Quick note about conference last weekend. For me, it was probably the most personally significant one in terms of impact on me as an individual. There were lots of great talks, but the standout moments for me were Elder Wirthlin talking about charity and service, while Elder Nelson was supporting him while he was having his back spasms, and the news conference Saturday between sessions with Pres. Eyring, long a favorite, and Elder Cook. David, great look with the beard. Now just don't go off all fundamentalist on us. :)

I was very pleased with Elder Eyring's new call -- I've always admired him, but was a little surprised, since he is "older" (74) than some of the others that might have been chosen. We enjoyed seeing the picture of Pres. Hinckley "knighting" Elder Eyring with his cane. Iantha and I were able to attend the Choir Broadcast and Sunday morning session on the main floor of the conference center, an unusual opportunity that we enjoyed.
