Robert writes home #83 No date on this letter, but Heidi and Carrie are having their mission farewell so it's definitely out of order...maybe by 2 years.
Dear Mom,
Did you hear? Chowchilla was hit by a tornado yesterday. How's that for an unusual weather incident in the San Joaquin valley? It did quite abit of damage. We're having some dramatic weather in California this year. You've probably heard about the heavy rains and flooding. Some place up by Redding got 17 inches of rain in 48 hours. I'd like to see a rain storm like tht someday. I never have. But through it all Dos Palos has stayed quiet and uneventful. Our total rainfall for the month is something like 3 or 4 inches.
They have postponed the pruning of the vineyard for two Saturday because of rain. It's been so warm that the vines are starting to but before they've been pruned.
We had Heidi and Carrie's farewell today at church. I thought they really gave good talks and sang a beautiful duet. Tonight they're having a fireside at our house and Carrie and Heidi are going to speak. Thy're flying back to Utah next Saturday. Heidi goes in the MTC on Jan. 25 and Carrie on Feb 15.
Charlie got his learners permit and I've been taking him out to practice driving on the back roasd lately. I'm anxious for him to get a license so we won't have to pick him up and take him places all the time. He'll be 15 Feb. 15
Janet and I and Vern Hixon went to Oakland yesterday. The stake PEC committee held it's planning meeting in Oakland after a session in the temple. It was a good day. That going to the temple really does good things for my peace of mind
I hope everything is going well for you.
Love,
Robert, Janet, and kids.
