We hope you are all well and happy. Today was PDAY and Mom and I did something different. In all these years we have never taken a tour of Belfast city hall -- we have been in there, but never took a tour and it is very interesting as you get into rooms that are closed off to the public. Mom used to walk on the walls outside and play on the grass as a little girl -- ask her about that ?
We got into the great hall, the political chambers and it is very interesting how all the parties based on their religous leanings sit in all the different sections --- eg -- the Nationlists sit off to the left side, those Catholics who support an all Ireland --- everything is based on Religion -- only in Ireland you might say. Mom got to sit on the Mayors chair --- he would be called the " YOUR WORSHIP, THE RIGHT HONORABLE, LORD MAYOR ( so and so )
Now think about that !!!!!!!
1. WORSHIP a politician --- me, never -----
2. HONORABLE ---- by definition --- the highest form of the science of double crossing !!
3. LORD -- there can only be one Lord and that certainly is not a politician.
In any case mom enjoyed her time in the chair.
We also seen all the Belfast missionaries in downtown Belfast --- as my letter said -- many are in the big move on Wednesday.
We hope you enjoy our missionary report and Mitzi if you would be kind enough to keep a folder or binder of these, that would be very much appreciated as we only have a laptop. We did not hear back from some of you if you received our last one just over a week ago ---- now who have we not heard from ( could be a boy named GL ------- ? )
The weather is still fantastic here -- a great start to our mission.
Hope you are all enjoying a great July 4th weekend -- the missionaries celebrated at the conference but I had to complain that no mention was made of Canada Day !!!!!!!
We look forward to hearing the news this week of a new grandchild and are praying for Stephen and Tonya.
We love you all very much,
Mom and Dad.
