September 7, 2014

Well, this week I can't think of anything much to tell.  We had Monday off, though we did go in to the office for a few minutes for me to get something done, but then it turned out I couldn't do my Monday  Key Indicator report because I didn't have the information from the AP's........when they compiled the information on Sunday, the network was down, so they didn't get it to me till Tuesday morning.  Oh, Monday night was Senior Family Home Evening.  We had a nice evening with President and Sister Mella and the other seniors.  The one Senior couple, the Wahlen's, were in charge of the activity, and for part of the activity they showed a short video on the history of sister missionaries.  I had no idea they were sending sister missionaries in the late 1800's!  It was very interesting.  Then we played a short game (paper and pencil).  We had hamburgers and lots of salads, fruit and desserts.  The new senior couple, the Tusieseina's, met everyone.  We heard the next day that it took them 3 hours to get home because they got lost......this week they went and bought a GPS!   I don't know how anyone new here can get along without a GPS.

And can I just say, we really enjoy President and Sister Mella!  They are awesome!

Since I don't have a lot of new stuff to say today (work was just a typical work week), I will put some pictures on here of our apartment and the office.

Well, time to close this week's entry.  I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures!  

Oh, one last thing to report for the week....we had some face timing we did with kids....Saturday with Shelley's family, and today with Kori's family.  Always nice to talk to family!!

Bye for this week!
