Bonnie: It's been a very long day, but a good one! We left about 6:50 am this morning. The roads were icy but we made it to the office without incident. We started right away with the waffles and it turned out great. The missionaries were very appreciative. They sang to us a bit later. How I love listening to them sing! I was able to accomplish much during the day, though all of us seemed to yawn an awful lot. The meetings were done by about 5:10 and then most of them came into the office to pick up more supplies. My shelves are about empty now, and tomorrow I will order more stuff. I only have 30 media bibles to last until the last of the month when we should be receiving more from Salt Lake. I will probably be quite stingy with them!
I got a blessing request from someone in our Branch up North. Apparently the RS President is in a hospital in Toronto. I let the missionaries know as soon as I could. I hope they get there tonight. She is divorced and I don't know if she has any family here. Then, a box came from the BYU Bookstore with t-shirts that some of our new missionaries have ordered, so I had to get those the zone leaders this afternoon. I went home with Cannon's and we got here about 6:30, very tired. Bob stayed late to finish up some things in preparation for our trip North Friday. I have done the wash tonight and want to get to bed early. I hope he comes home soon!
May you all know of our love for you. We are happy to be here, but miss all of you!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
Bob: Got home in time to carry the laundry up the stairs. But this is about all I did. It was close to 9:00. It has been a long day. Elder Gillen left me a spreadsheet showing all the apartments on it. He had them arranged so you can see which apartments are being used, which are empty, which have Sisters or Elders, etc. I spent a good part of today getting it corrected. As we are going to start dropping in the number of missionaries I want to make sure we close as many apartments as we can.
Phones are getting to be a hassle. We got a bunch of new phones to replace some old ones. But of the 12 phones I have given out 3 of them had to replaced. I think there are some others that are not working right. I sent a text to several people yesterday. Today one of the missionaries showed me the text they received on the new phone. It was a bunch of of nonsense. That phone will probably have to be replaced too.
Roads were snowy and ice covered today, but I didn't feel like the traction was bad. Maybe it was worse than I thought. Passed about everyone on the side streets this morning. Cars passed me on the freeway, but I was going the speed limit. On the side streets they seemed to be poking along today. Maybe the new tires of giving me a false sense of security.
Got to turn in for the night. Love to everyone. Stay warm and good night brothers.
Dad/Bob
