   The pictures to the left were taken this week when we visited Dartmouth College to view an original B of M they have.  It was really neat to be able to hold it and thumb through the pages.  It made us wonder who was the original owner.  It has some differences to our modern day B of M in the editing and references.  It was wonderful and we wish it was held by the Church at the JSM.  This copy was donated to Dartmouth when the donor found it quite by accident when purchasing a large bunch of old books.  What a find!
   Miriam and I did another day of apartment checks.  The 2nd group of pictures are some of the missionaries at their apartments kin the Concord North Zone.  We were pleasantly surprised this time as how clean and organized they all were.  There was considerable time spent at zone conferences discussing the need keep their apartments cleaner and the  disappointment we experienced when no effort was made to prepare for our visits.  The message got through.
   The bottom picture is us with Lance.  He came to visit for a day. We spent most of the day in Boston and then came up to Manchester.  We had a great time with great food and lots of things to see.  He was in Washington DC on a dental convention and came to say hi.  We loved the 24 hours we had with him.  We love all our children and grandchildren so much.
