This picture was taken somewhere near Cumberland, Maryland. Not a very good picture, but Maryland was beautiful. Of all the states we crossed, my favorites were Indiana and Maryland. We got to DC last night, got all moved in, got a tour of the neighborhood and found places to tuck everything in our extremely small apartment (no pictures yet). Today we finished unpacking, went to church, figured out how to get to work tomorrow and met up with my friend RyRy. Church was certainly an adventure today. Including all of the following:
-Sacrament blessed in French (the French speakers (from Africa) in the ward take care of the sacrament every fast Sunday).
-A guy let his phone ring four times and then answered it, on speaker phone, during the sacrament (Him: "Hi, yeah, what's up....nothing, I'm just in church").
-A guy walked in all dressed for church, but also wearing an old baseball cap with the word "Police" on the front. He also had handcuffs and a Leatherman hooked to his belt. Oh yeah, and he was wearing one black glove. I went out on a limb and assumed he wasn't actually a cop.
-We were welcomed very warmly along with all of the other interns that showed up for the summer.

Just looking through pictures

All of us kids at the student of the month celebration! We got cookies and punch!

I was giving the BYU cougars some spirit!

I got my teeth pulled! I got $5 for these big things. They put laughing gas on me the whole time!

It's Getting Closer (planting this week)

We went shopping in Lewiston yesterday and came home with a car load of flowers. Now I find out that some of them (Hostas) do not do well in direct sun. Well, its too late, we'll just have to see what happens. We also bought Mom a Mother's Day present with which she will "recline" around the camp fire. And, we bought me a new hat at D&B (got to keep the sun off my ears in my old age). It is a little bit cowboy without being too red neck.
Yesterday was the Renaissance Fair at East City Park, we planned on going but ran out of time. Last evening was the ward social in honor of those leaving (the UofI is out in two weeks).

Travis and I texted these last three days as they drove east. They arrived safely. It sounds like it will be a great experience. I told him that if he meets Pres. Obama to tell him that I didn't like him.

I think it is supposed to warm up this week. Seeing is believing. The farmers are in the fields and going like mad.

More next week.
