Messed up dates.

The posts about transfer and lunch etc. should have been May 12 and 13th. I really got confused. Then it was Mother's Day which I have already posted.

28th

The corporate office where the mission office is located had a customer appreciation lunch for all the clients in the building. It was catered and very nice. Three free meals this week. After lunch I was walking to the bathroom and noticed signs for a blood drive. I went up and asked if they were taking walk-ins. They had me fill out the paper work and read their stuff. Then it was time. There was a man giving as I was preparing and he almost past out. I got a little nervous but went through with it. I did it in record time for me, five and a half minutes! I told the woman that was helping me that I wanted to give back for my daughter who required two units after her ordeal having her baby. She was so touched, she got a little teary and told me to kiss Gracie for her. She said they liked to hear stories like that, it made they jobs worth while.

April 27th

We were again invited to the mission home for dinner. This time to say goodbye to the missionaries leaving the mission. We had a nice dinner and then had a testimony meeting. I was so glad we got to stay for that because it was very special to hear those Elders and one sister bear testimony and see their maturity compared to the new Elders alnd Sisters. I really enjoyed hearing President and Sister Walker's testimonies and council to these amazing young people.
A word about the home. It is a beautiful home on a hill above 1st and River. It has a dormitory room downstairs that the Elders slept in and the sister was upstairs. All their luggage was in the garage. They have a van that they use to transport them to the airport.
Sister Walker has a manservant who comes in and helps her with the dinners and I think other events. The house is furnished, but they have added some of their personal decorations and pictures.

26th of April-transfer day

Sister Walker invited the Porth's and us to their home (the mission home) for dinner and to meet the new Elders and Sister's coming in the mission. It was very nice. The food was delicious and the company was great. We didn't stay long because they have a testimony meeting and get acquainted with the President.

The workers were here on Sat. Monday we arrived a little early to put things back together. We had everything put back together and then the computers and phones wouldn't work. It took another hour or so to figure out the problem

The workers are coming to remodel our office. They will do it on Saturday so we had to empty the filing cabinets we didn't need and get other things out of the way. We will have new counter tops and new keyboards that are attached to the desk.

Catching up! We have been so busy and tired. I think I am finally catching up and feeling like I can do more than just my day at the office. I have had trouble learning my duties. Some days go ok and others I just want to go home. I have thought about Fran alot and would like to talk to her.
