Bob: Still snow on the ground, but the roads are clear. It's not going to melt fast as the temperatures are in the 20s. The drive to work this morning was a little slow, but not too bad. The roads had some snow but not much slush because of the cold temperatures.
Things went pretty well at work today. Rented a new apartment for some Elders. We have to leave the one apartment because of an unfavorable lease. So we can get out now as quickly as we want. Still needing one for another set of Elders. I am also trying to find another apartment for a Senior Couple that has been assigned to YSA. Don't know whether they are working with Brampton or Toronto Stake though.
Went to FHE at the Brampton Stake Center. Talked to an advisory couple about apartments for missionaries. They are thinking about investing in a property and then renting it to the church. Told them we are closing apartments right now as our numbers will be going down in the coming months. They would like to buy something that could have an apartment in the basement for young missionaries and a Senior couple in the upstairs. That might work if they found a good location.
Going to close for now. Bonnie wants to go to the office early tomorrow morning as a new Sister flew in today. Wish love to all and good night brothers.

Bonnie:  Today was good because I finally got some of the Daily Dose flyers (formally the ESL flyers) copied. I only have 1750 more to do. MLC has been changed to Friday now. The temple sessions will still be in the morning, followed by a mission-wide conference with the Clayton's. MLC is after that, in the afternoon. Then, after that, the Zone Leaders and the Sister Missionary Trainers will go to the mission office to pick up supplies and mail and "daily dose" supplies. It will be a very long day. As Bob wrote, we are to train a new sister missionary tomorrow morning. The Erickson's begin at 8:00 with vehicle training and Sister Erickson's responsibilities. We are next, and the Cannon's follow. I really enjoy doing it one on one rather than to a large group. That way, the sister can feel freer to answer any questions she may have.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful day. I figure it looks like spring in many places by now. I can't wait for spring to begin here. I'm tired of the snow and cold!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
