While Sherri and Will were here, we went to Mammoth Caves on our p-day and toured a different part than before.  It was interesting and enjoyable but very hot on the day we went.  Inside the cave it was very cool but hiking into and out of the cave in the heat was exhausting.  The picture is below was taken just before we climbed up out of the entrance of the cave into the heat.
Will was a very good sport and went teaching with us and to some of our meetings.  I am not sure he really got the right idea though because he announced before he left that he had decided to go on a mission.  But he thought it would be best to go as a couple.  He thought it would be great to have his own cook and be able to eat what he liked.
On the way to the airport when they left, we made a stop at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green.  Most of the corvettes on display were not even to be touched, but this one was a demo for sitting in.  Will really enjoyed the museum visit and pretending to drive his own corvette.

We had personal interviews this week with our Mission President.  They happen about every two months.  Usually he takes us individually and we get an interview similar to the the young elders and sisters.  This time he took us together and got right to the point.  He asked us how long we wanted to extend our mission, two months, four months, whatever and he had his pen in hand to start the process.  We weren't quite ready for that, expecting more to discuss our release date because it co-insides with our next transfer day.  It is tantalizing to think about staying a little longer because we have several things in process that we would like to finish and time is growing short.  We promised him we would seriously consider what to do and let him know.  We are fasting and praying today about what to do.

We felt bad about missing Joshua's farewell today.  We thought of him as we fed our Traveling Elders today.  We are grateful for facebook and the phone so we could hear about everything.  We are so grateful for all the support given by the family.  We are very excited that he is going and will be serving just 2 or 3 hours from where we are.

  1. Now that Will has been behind a corvette, Sherri and Mike better start saving. He may not be happy with anything else.
