YSA finally had a baptism this week: James Ray. Fine young man and so ready for the gospel. Sorry the photo is fuzzy and that I got the missionary names backwards. It's E. Harris on the left and E. Haslam on the right. It was a great baptism with a good spiritual uplift.
Our sad tale this week was our car was in the shop for four days! I really empathize with Sister D'Auria who not only does not have a car, but has 3 boys also. She grilled burgers for us on Friday and smiled when we told her of our woes; she truly understands. We noticed the car was not cooling when we went to the beach party July 18. E. Steffler looked under the hood and noticed ice one the A/C lines; he knew it had frozen up. So he takes the car to the dealer and was told our warranty was up (of course!) and they would test it. So finally got to it Tuesday and they drove it around a bit and it cooled just fine, so they concluded nothing wrong. E. Steffler about came unglued and wanted to talk to the manager. Then the others talked a little nicer to him, but they had to call the Ford Co., and ask what else they could check. Keep it over another night and run tests. Yep, the sensor had gone out, so had to order a part. Finally got a call Thursday at noon that it was ready – $734! The part cost $35, the rest was labor. They had to tear the dash board completely apart to instill the new sensor. We were willing to pay at this point just to get our car back! But we needed to beg rides to FHE and institute and a doctor appointment and to supper one night. Very inconvenient, but you can't live without A/C in this country! So that was our week. Frustrating, but eventually worked out.
Had wonderful interview with Pres. Baker and a good district meeting. Learned a lot about keeping the Sabbath Day Holy in several talks and lessons this week – all good. Hope y'all had a better week than we did. But we are getting over it! The gospel is true and the Atonement is real. That is what is important. We love all y'all. God bless you in whatever your endeavors may be. Love, Elder & Sister Steffler
