I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

...so the song goes. We attend the Morningside Heights Ward and it meets at 9:30 am in the Lincoln Center building. The bulding is located at Broadway and Columbus across from the Lincoln Center.
I have attended church in this building twice before: in high school while on the Thespian Broadway trip and again when I was at the NY Stationary Show researching my scrapbook store. Only now it is different. It has been remodeled and has a temple inside two of the four floors. Hence the Angel Moroni on the top of the building. Last Sunday was Stake Conference. The meeting was broadcast to three buildings in this stake and throughout New England in 8 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Catonese, ASL, Korean and English are the languages I remember. The meeting was very good. Elders Monson, Erying and Robert Oaks spoke with Susan Tanner. It was broadcast from the Conference Center in SLC. We sat next to a gentleman who was made an Elder that day. He attends the Harlem Ward and invited us to visit them this coming week. That will be fun!
I bought a smaller electric mixer. Jennifer had never licked the beaters before. She prefers dough to cookies so this was quite the treat. I made M&M Cookies for "Dessert with Sister Randle." I invite the students over for dessert every Sunday night. Maye it's a little part of home. And I get to eat a cookie without the temptation of eating the entire batch. They are gone in 60 seconds. Survival of the fastest. And all my walking isn't in vane.
Since it had been cold, I told them to come to our apartment. I didn't want to freeze on the patio. Most of the students came this week and we even had five guests. 3 other BYU interns from other departments, finance and graphic art, and two other I-House residents, one from India and one from Germany.

Jennifer calls them all "Students" whether she is addressing them individually or as a group. I'm not much better. Ask my kids. I'm lousy with names. I need to study the photo roster Quint made.

So I was looking on Facebook at some of my friend's photos. I kept finding Comms students that I didn't know were in NY with you (even some pictures of Jennifer!). So I started to inspect the dessert with Sister Randle picture. You'll have to show me the big one sometime so I can see how many of them I know!
