Bob: Had to deal with a little bit of snow today. Our 20 minute drive to work took us about 40 minutes today. Then in the morning the snow continued to come down lightly. When we left the office to go to Institute, however, the main roads were clear.
Got the rents paid and sent out today. We had almost $125,000 in rents for the Mission this month. I believe the amount of rent has come up almost 10,000 per month since I got here. It should start downward though in 3 or 4 months as we close some apartments due to the reduction in the number of missionaries.
Institute was very good tonight. Elder Budgett at one time asked us to split into 3 groups and discuss among our individual groups how we see the Lord directing our lives now or how He did at one time in our life. Very interesting to hear what some of the YSAs, and Sister Martin had to say.
Spent some time emptying things out of my office and taking them to the storage unit today. I have some pictures of the 'empty' unit that I'll post tomorrow night. Forgot the camera and left it at the office. It is hard to believe how much stuff we have used and gotten rid of.
Well time for bed. Love to all and good night brothers.

Bonnie: This will be short. I really enjoyed Institute tonight. We knew everyone in our group when we divided up, and it was great to hear the YSAs talk about how the Lord has directed them in the past. One is a new member of about 2 months, two were brother and sister, and one was a returned missionary. The Lord is truly in the details of our lives.
Tomorrow I will be going visiting teaching and leaving the office about 5:00, driving at least half an hour, doing our visiting and returning home, if we're lucky, by about 7:00. I have the most interesting companion. It will be enjoyable for sure.
I hope you all have had a wonderful day, accomplishing much by doing the little things that make such a difference in the lives of our families and friends.
Love, Mom/Bonnie
