P.S. A Story I forgot...

I had made a note to include this week the story of how one of the couples in our mission office, who are from Grants Pass, ended up living in Oregon for the past ?? years when they started out in southern California.  So here it is...they were OK until she had her first child and was warned about the air quality and things to do to protect her baby from the air pollution, and also told she should only give the baby bottled water - not to use the tap water.  She said, we were poor in California, so I figured we could be poor in Oregon too...and they picked up and left (both of them quitting their jobs).  Years later when visiting southern California with her kids (now 4 I believe) she pointed out the mountains to them and told them to enjoy seeing them because they would disappear.  They thought she was kidding, but on the return trip the smog was in place and there were no mountains visible at all;  "that is why we moved to Oregon" she told them.  True story.
