HoG digg-ity doG finD

Today we home taught Beverly Rucker. Interesting way to teach: we picked her up at her Dr. apptmt. and took her to Brunch in the Bronx. While eating we received a phone call from Pres. Searle asking us to go to the Kingsbridge chapel and pick up two Elder's luggage and take it to Stuyvasant Town. It is transfers today. Stuyvasant Town is way down on 14th street in Manhattan. Beverly was up for the adventure so away we went. The Elders had to take the subway down to 14th street and so we just took their luggage & dropped it off at their apartment and then went the chapel on 15th street across Manhattan to drop their keys to the apartment off for them. This is where they get to check their email. The 15th street chapel backs up to the Convent and also houses the Young singel adult lounge in the basement and the employment center for the church their in NYC. Hence, the computers for the elders to check their email. After visiting and checking things out, we headed up Lexington avenue to find a HARLEY DAVIDSON store that our friend Rex told us about. What a find. Huge selection. Of course we need a shirt that said "NEW YORK CITY" on it. Beverly was a trooper and enjoyed the day with us. Traffic was a nightmare getting her home to Brooklyn and us back to the Bronx.

Brother & Sister Ellett,
Just wanted to say hello! I found your blog by accident and have sat here and thoroughly enjoyed reading about your mission. What a wonderful experience you are having!!! You two look so happy!!!
Congrats on your new little grandson - how exciting for Malea and Brandon - what a darling family they have. You should feel so blessed!
Elder Winningham is doing great in Australia. He just got transferred to a new area (18 hour bus ride from Brisbane) but seems so positive about the change. It has been amazing to see the growth in this young man.
God bless you two for your sacrifice and service! You are wonderful people!
Take care!
Love you,
The Winninghams
