on the road again doing missionary furniture pickups

Wednesday morning we went to the UHaul place and got a 12 foot trailer so that we could haul a big couch and chair ad airconditioner down to Indiana, Pa. The two sets of young missionaries from Erie followed us to Corry where this was what we ran into--a foot of fresh, unshoveled, snow. Thankfully there were enough shovels to make the job go fairly quick. This is Elder Evans shoveling out the parking area at the apartment

As you now can see, there is a snow plow here, but no one to operate it. The apartment is on the right up those, unshoveled stairs

Here is Elder Dad, Elder Mitchel and Elder Evans!!

Here is Elder Riley start at the top of the stairs to push the snow down. Then he swept them clean so make them usable to bring down the furniture. We finally got everything packed up and were on our way. We had hoped to be in Indiana by 1:30, but instead we were just leaving Corry at that time We prayed that the roads were better than this the rest of the way, and most of the way they were.

We saw various amounts of snow on trees and roads, as you will see in the following pictures At some points there was really deep snow, the almost none, then we saw the grass!!

Just about every ten miles or so the roads changed from this

To this postcard beauty (one of my favorites)

to this!! Nice, huh

Almost no snow at all

a lot of the towns had these snowflake type decorations
