Called Auntie Ying after finishing a book - she would like notice, but sometimes I can't give her that! Says that Jessie's kids bother her when she's telling the lesson, but she just goes on as usual. Rachel's grandma loves helping the kids, of course. She said stuff about snacks after the lesson, which she'll prepare. Also brought up Esther, Amos losing a toy (his mom Jennifer says he learned a lesson), David and Evelyn going to daycare (according to their mom Linda), and Ada.

I asked if Conor had been there - he had, and his mom Pauline says he lost his Bible and Awana handbook. I know exactly where those items are (along with his brother Sean's stuff) because I picked them up a couple weeks ago! However, I didn't tell that to Auntie Ying, but figured "maybe they'll find them next week" was close enough to the truth. ;)


Trivia fact for Friday, July 16: Why did American planes drop bombs on Hawaii in December 1935 and April 1942? To divert the flow of lava from the erupting Mauna Loa volcano away from nearby roads and the city of Hilo.
