Visits with Missionaries




No Parking Zone

Some days it will take us an hour to find a parking spot by the office. This is at Cloverhouse, right across from our building. If you are lucky you can park here. However, now the police have decided it's a no parking zone. The lady in white coat had come out to see her red car being hauled off.
This is house they move things around here. Our car has been stuck in our garage for a week. We've been trying to get someone out to see what is wrong with it. They keep telling us to call a tow truck. Well, this is a tow truck. And if you could see our garage and driveway, there is absolutely no way they could get to our garage, let alone get the car out. Finally, someone from the Toyota center came out, saw our predicament and today they finally sent a mechanic out to our garage. After using a heater gun to unfreeze the wheels they got it to move. It's now at the Toyota Center being checked out. Hopefully it will be fixed and ready to go later on today.
After driving, I really don't like riding the BUS!
Can you see the little sign with a bus on it....we figured this was the message saying bus zone, no parking...take your chance...you may be the lucky one towed away!

Snow Even in Korea

We went on another visa renewal trip and when we arrived in Korea they had also had a snowstorm!

Walking from the bus in Korea on our way to the Temple.

Spring Snowstorm

We got another snowstorm on Monday, March 15th. Our car is frozen and won't move, so we are walking to the bus! These are the stairs we use to cross the road to the bus. They are completely iced over. Mike fell 3 times walking to the bus. It is so slippery! Scary!
El Presidente! After a nice fall!
It's crazy how much snow we got. The sidewalks were finally clear. Not anymore!
