 Landing after a cruise is tougher than we thought it would be!  Gary ended up really in Bed most of the week! Friday we finally went back to urgent care and the gave us a zpac .  He had coughed all night for a couple of nights!  It is now Monday evening and he is almost back! We went to district council and it wiped him out!  He came home and slept 2 hours! Of course that is an improvement of yesterday when he had to leave church after the sacrament and went home and slept 4 hours .

.actually the Dr was super nice!  He is a member and offered for Gar to go to his cabin down on the Kenai to recoup! Friday night we had to cancel dinner with President Azimi and his wife due to bug!

Saturday we did go on base to the air show which was amazing!
It was the Thunderbirds and many other events which all were great!  We spent the time with Badgers who help us get out!! We enjoy being with them!

Thursday I had a temple session and did institute just with Justin. Gary stayed home to lay low!  So it is our turn to teach again this week so the Bronchitis needs to go away cause we both were sick last time we were to teach!

We have had some beautiful summer days this past week but it is raining now . The lawns are pretty ugly so the rain should help!  The hanging baskets that are everywhere are the prettiest I’ve ever seen. This cool long light is excellent for some things!  Sun is still up at 11:15pm.  We love Alaska. Will be forever grateful to have served a year here!  These young people YSAS and missionaries are pretty incredible!  Praying for them all!  Including our own at home!!  Teaching truth and tolerance this week!!!!!!!
