We made it! Fredericton and our apartment are beautiful. Elders Clark and McIntyre (sp) met us and unloaded all our belongings on Friday night around 7:30. We owe them cookies, once we buy some ingredients. We organized a few things and crashed.
Saturday we got some rather expensive groceries...milk is about $6 per gallon. We also washed a few million bugs off our faithful Traverse, Travis. We then packed up for a short drive of only 3 hours to Bathurst to deliver the Sisters for a mission concert. Violet was put right to work, but Veone and Chelsi will debut soon. Their owners, Elder Waldie and Sister Lee, performed, but not with them. Apologies to Sister Lee. The pictures we took of her amazing singing were unrecognizable.
The concert was well attended and delightfully received. There were many types of music, narration in both French and English, and humorous and thoughtful remarks from our mission president, Brian Leavitt. The Lord must have sent the most musically talented missionaries here. We feel awed by their abilities and spirit. We sat next to Luke and Linda and chatted a bit. We thought they were members of the Bathurst branch. We introduced ourselves and said, "and you are Brother and Sister,,,?" Looking puzzled, they responded, "No, we are husband and wife." Not branch members after all, but members of the community who had come to the concert in response to a newspaper article.
