Next I had to get the bills paid and call about a couple of problems. While I was doing that the President called and wanted me to listen to a conference call about some tax law changes for Ontario and how it affects the coding of some of our financial transactions.
We were able to leave the office about 4:30 to go look at an apartment in a building where we might put some of the Senior Missionaries later this year. It is a fairly new building and the apartment was nice, but small. I would bet our apartment is twice as big as the one we looked at. The bedroom would only accommodate a queen size bed with a small double dresser. You could also put in a chest of drawers but it couldn't be very wide.
After that we went to dinner with Grace, the realtor we use. She is a very interesting person and very spiritual. She was given a Book of Mormon earlier by Elder and Sister Jensen. She said she would be interested in learning more about our church, so we'll have the missionaries in Mississauga handle that assignment. She is too old for YSA as she said she is almost 40. We will see how this develops.
After dinner we went to Walmart to do the shopping and then stopped to have the car washed before getting home around 9. We haven't been home early any night this week according to Bonnie.
I'm going to get ready for bed while Bonnie finishes up. Love to all and good night brothers.

Bonnie: It has been another long night, but very rewarding because of our dinner with Grace. I've never met such a spiritual person who is not already a member of the church. She was raised Catholic but can see some definite inconsistencies with the Catholic Church and the teachings of the Savior. She is ready to see the missionaries. It's exciting to be part of this. We had a really good conversation where she asked about healings and the nature of speaking in tongues. She feels strongly that the second coming could be soon and wants to be prepared to see Jesus Christ again. Wow!
At the office I did a Staples order and another Distribution Store order trying to be prepared for Transfers and then MLC. It was a good day.
Tomorrow is a Ward Relief Society meeting, a pot luck dinner with some wonderful speakers--the Stake President's wife, the Temple President's wife and Sister Clayton, our Mission President's wife. The subject is "Women and the Priesthood". Three of us are going together. It should be great! I'll tell about it in tomorrow's blog.
Well, the wind is howling around our building and it's getting late, so sweet dreams, everyone, I'm going to bed!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
Take a look at the picture of the heart attack the sister missionaries gave us on Valentines:
