One of our goals this week was to get some of our visiting teaching and home teaching done.  That is a chore with people living so far away.  We had no problem seeing Sister Sherine and her kids.  Of course it helped that we had been there before.  We decided to find out where Sister Rosemary and Brother Harrold lived.  We thought we had their recent address but when we got to the place they were suppose to live there was no such address.  We called several different people and finally got a working phone number for them.  They had shifted so Anura turned the tri-shaw around and headed for their area.  After making about five calls to them, we finally located the home.  We enjoyed our visit with Brother Harrold and daughter, Kate.  Sister Rosemary was gone to get their special needs son from school.
Tuesday all three of our Chinese English students came up to us after class and invited us to their home for dinner.  They decided that tomorrow, Monday, would be the best time for them.  We said that would be a great time for us also.  We got a text from them today.  They asked if we drank beer.  Elder Meyers and I just laughed and text them back and let them know that we didn't drink any alcohol.  We're looking forward to being able to visit these special people away from our English class where we can talk about religion.
I made chocolate chip cookies this week.  I think Elder Meyers thought he was in heaven for a few minutes as he tasted those cookies.  They don't have chocolate chips here but we found some good chocolate squares and cut them into tiny pieces and used those.  They were pretty good!
We're zooming in on studying "Preach My Gospel."  One day we pray that we will have someone to teach and we want to do our part to be prepared.  It will be great to get young missionaries back into Sri Lanka.  We hope to see that before our mission is over.  We can teach the discussions but we also have many other things that we are assigned to do as part of our calling.
President Anton and Sister Ann came to dinner with their family tonight.  They brought their two nieces, Codi and Milli, who they are raising, Ann's sister, Mary, who is visiting from England and Papa K, who is President Anton's father. We had a great time together.  After dinner we played Uno.
Sorry there are no pictures this week.  Our camera was stolen today.  Elder Meyers put the camera in the seminary closet at church and forgot to lock it.  When he went down after Sacrament to get something out of the closet he discovered it was missing.   Needless to say we were a little upset.  Maybe who ever stole it needs it worse than we do.  We will be going to the Kodak shop to get a new camera this week. 
Have a great week!
