We went to the library on Saturday morning and were able to get a library card to check out books.  The last time we went, we did not have a utility receipt with our apartment address, so they would not give us a card.  Five books is the first time limit for check out, so we did not get as many books as ususal, but both of the kids were able to get a book they can use to start on their big research reports.  Christian also got a book on plants and Kelly got a reading book.  After the library, we went to a nursery in Plano.  It was a nice little nursery, but not so satisfying after having lived in Oregon for so long.  Christian got all the materials he needed to do some cuttings:  Potting soil, root hormone, and some containers.  When we got back to the apartment, he went out and took some cuttings of what I think was some kind of cedar.  He planted them and we are going to see what happens.

On Sunday, we went to pick up Lavan Jampa for meeting.  After meeting, we meet our workers, Marilyn Frye and Andrea Jensen and another man with whom we meet on Sunday morning named John.  He is a nephew of Ulrich Eberhart and a cousin to Rob Eberhart.  Ulrich is the man who came from Germany as a young man not to long after World War II and worked for my father in his sawmill in Cottage Grove.  Uncle Ron sponsered him to come over.   He is married to a woman Dad knew as a little girl when he was in basic training for the Army in Alabama in around 1948.

After lunch, we went and hung out in a big mall in Frisco to watch the iceskaters and do some window shopping with Lavan until meeting started.  After meeting we talked to Ron Lacock.  He had invited Lavan to lunch last week and while they were having lunch, Ross Perot came by, so Lavan was able to meet him.
