A great week in the temple. Not quite as busy the last couple of weeks but we continue to get tourists from the West. We are always willing and ready to accommodate them. We had a lovely sister receiving her endowment and then being sealed in the Boston Temple this last weekend and several newly called missionaries coming in. One of the Spanish wards brought in a great group of youth so the baptistery has been very busy. We love busy. Wednesday night we went over to the temple to help with the cleaning. It didn't take long because there were five of us.
Sunday was a wonderful day. We were not sure what to expect after last week when we had a returned missionary and senior couple come back for a visit. They contacted so many people and the chapel was very full. Well this Sunday we were pleasantly surprised because the chapel was again almost full. We have had a number of new families move into the Ward. We are so blessed. Jennifer Garcia was the only one in our class Sunday but Sister Bartholemew was able to help her in family history. I also was able to participate in the indexing they were doing this weekend throughout the Church. It's always great to be part of such a great work.

Friday night we got together with Elder &Sister Hansen and Channing and Allan. We went to AJ Kitchen for this great burger. Channing (Hoyberg, George & Laurel from Camarillo) and her husband are living here in Queens and the Hansen's are her Aunt and Uncle. What a small world.

This morning we had to go back to the MTR station at Stantan Ferry and Riley reminded us that we had not sent any pictures of ground zero or the Statue of Liberty. We are waiting to go to the Statue of Liberty until someone comes but we did walk to ground zero.

Ready to head out for the evening to Radio City. By the time we got to the front door we had a down pour. We waited until it was over and then headed out.
After finding Radio City we headed to 5 Guys for dinner.
We finally found Rockefeller Center. Lego store and walked thru the Rockefeller bldg.
Went to see the Radio City Rockettes. Very fun evening. Went with Sisters Wilson, Thompson, Mumford and Elder & Sister Huntington.
