A very busy week.

We just finished a very busy week.  We are quite overwhelmed with all the things we have to do. The couple we are replacing overlapped us with a week for training, and they showed us 6 weeks of stuff, that we are supposed to manage, . . . . . in 5 days.  Once we get into it, I'm sure we will be fine.  The accounting side is no problem for me (already found errors to correct, and a real mess to dig into on the utility payments for the missionary apartments).  Mom will also have her hands full where the two other Sr. sisters in the office have minimal computer skills. What they lack in computer skills, however, they make up for in desire to learn, and they are wonderful.

We can see why we were sent here to this mission.  They need us !!

Our schedule is from 830am to 500pm, Monday through Friday, and time flies by.  As we run errands in the evening, in our missionary attire and name tags, people take notice and give us knowing smiles and say "Hello".  One fellow, as we were exiting a restaurant, said "Hi, Elders", TO BOTH OF US !!!  Yesterday we visited an Urgency Care Clinic for Mom (she is better now), but in visiting with the Physician's Assistant (PA) that saw us, we told him why we were there in Roseville.  He said he had seen the missionaries come and go in the apartment complex where he lives.  Anyway, as we finish up and he is on his way out the door, he says, "maybe the Mission President can give you a blessing".  He obviously knew more about Church than he let on.  Seeing us hopefully will stir some positive thoughts about the gospel for him.

We are doing fine.  We love our Heavenly Father and know that He loves us.  We pray for your safety and welfare and know that He is mindful of your needs.  We love you all very much and are grateful for your love and support.

Love,
Dad
