This has been a busy week. Monday night we had a salmon fish fry. It was delicious. The Archibalds go to Alaska every other summer for four months and fish. They have a daughter in Utica and she had lots of salmon. She sent it up for us. We had a wonderful meal together.

On Thursday we spent the day with the Pestanas. They are from Provo via Los Angeles. They served as baptistry directors for two years in LA. Paul got to know them down there. We went to Buffalo for the day. First we visited the Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House Complex .

He is known for his prairie homes. It was built in 1905. Everyone thing is horizontal and organic. All the colors are earth tones. Quite innovative for his time.

We had lunch at the Original Buffalo Wings restaurant in Buffalo. They were very good.

We ended up by visiting the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum. We also got to ride a carrousel made in 1905.

Saturday we left Palmyra about 11 and drove to Hornell, NY to speak at the Hornell Branch on Sunday. It was a beautiful ride down next to Canandaigua Lake. Beautiful rolling hills and green everywhere. We spent the evening in our motel room preparing for our Sacrament meeting talks and the 3rd hour Priesthood/RS meeting.

These are some of the members of the Hornell Branch. They were so wonderful to us and many of them we have served at the temple. Sister Geer, in the turquoise dress, is coming to the temple next month. The youth have also come to the temple for baptistry. Sister Bates, 2nd from the right, bottom row, is getting baptized on the 6th of July.

We got back in time for Paul to go to Stake Priesthood meeting. A couple of good thoughts. Priesthood service is like a tennis game--he who serves best usually wins. Devote our time to building up the kingdom. All of us can do what we can do. Elder Pitts--serve Him with our whole soul. Do the best you can. The Holy Spirit will guide you and direct you. The kingdom is directed by the Savior Jesus Christ.
