We all enjoyed a session of the New York City temple in Manhattan. That is always a highlight for people who come to visit us in NYC. We love the temple.
Kitty and Harpld enjoyed riding the subway with us. The subway system is always something unique about New York City.
We also enjoyed the Cinderella Broadway musical together.
A sobering part of their visit was our visit to the 9/11 memorial site. We were able to observe the reflecting pools which marked the spots where the twin towers once stood.
They were also able to observe the newly constructed one World Trade Center building. 
Harold And Kitty also enjoyed the view from our "10E" apartment. We have a great view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
After we reluctantly said goodbye to Harold And Kitty on Saturday, we took part in another senior activity. The senior missionary couples traveled to the east end of Long Island to Montauk lighthouse.
It was a cold, blustery day, which reminded us that winter is soon on the way.
We even got to see the Atlantic Ocean, which was pretty cool.
We topped off the week by viewing a special devotional fireside broadcast from the Lincoln Ctr., Chapel in Manhattan featuring Elder L Tom Perry. The occasion was the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Mormon pavilion at the New York City worlds fair in 1964. That pavilion marked the first effort of the church to use media to feature the church. The film "Man's search bfor happiness" was first shown at that world's fair.In all, it was another busy and eventful week. We taught all of our institute classes during the week, and Harold and Kitty accompanied us for most of the classes. They were able to see the diverse students we work with. Our students come from different races, countries, cultures, and church backgrounds. We really enjoy sharing the gospel with all of them.
