Not too much exciting is happening here, but I thought I'd let you know what we have been doing.
On Friday, Dad went to the doctor to get his prescriptions renewed, and the doctor gave him a flu and pneumonia shot. He told Dad that some people had a reaction to the pneumonia shot, and he might run a slight fever. He ran a fever for two days, and his arm was swollen and red. He had to go to the temple on Saturday because he was the coordinator. That night he took some Advil so we could go out to eat with our friends the Zingmarks. We went to a soul food restaurant in Harlem called Amy Ruth's. It was recommended by some people at the temple. The food was delicious. Best fried okra I've ever had. He then was not feeling well on Sunday, so we didn't go to church. It is not safe for me to go to our branch by myself. I felt a bit bad about not teaching Primary, but not that bad.
That night President Garff had the missionaries over to hear a friend of theirs talk about their mission to Hawaii where he taught a class on entrepreneurship at BYU Hawaii.
Monday morning a sister who works at the temple had the sisters come to her house for brunch. She lives just a couple blocks from here in the penthouse of a building that overlooks the Hudson river. Her home is gorgeous-like looking at a magazine, and the food was great.
That evening the apartment building we live in had their Christmas party. They served dinner in the lobby. It was very fancy, but not much room to eat. After that we went to the Garff's to watch The Mormon Tabernacle Choir with David Archuleta for family home evening. (We were so happy to hear yesterday that he has decided to serve a full time mission.)
We have next Saturday off, so are looking forward to a 3 day weekend. I know you are all busy getting ready for Christmas. We will miss you so much. I get choked up just typing it.
