Wednesday-we had Elders and Sisters visit today. Its always fun to visit with them. I received my commissary order today so I have lots of stuff again. It gets depleted soon though. We spent 500 dollars on PACs and DVDs and phamplets and BOM from different languages. We do not have to charge the Elders anymore for supplies< i am so glad.

I left early today to get my hair cut. Dad said I look like Sis. Porth, I was so mad because bless her heart she does nothing with her hair. Men!

We did some cooking to help Kelly out. They are cooking up at girls camp tomorrow night.

The Elders are so disappointed when they dont receive mail, I understand because we do not hear from anyone.

We have a new couple in the office training to take the Porths place. They are really nice. Just a couple of years older than we, yes we still are the old timers. Sis Crotts brings in all kinds of food and is constantly trying to feed us. The Porths have been going to the training meetings to bear their testimonies and say goodbye. I am keeping busy.

Monday reports need to happen. Last week we had trouble with the fax machine and they took all morning.
The reports went well. I think its hard for the Elders to have to fax in the reports before they start their P day. Elder Wright and Davis came by. There are big changes in the wards, creating a new stake. The Elders and the APs were working on those changes. This means that I have to relearn some of the areas and companionships. I have been so busy learning my job that I have let the referrals go. That is that part of my job is to keep the Elders updating their referrals. Elder Davis asked me what the percentage of the zone was and I justlooked at him like Duh. He showed me again what report indicated that and the percentage of reporting was pretty low.
Tuesday I called the zones with alot of unreported referrals and updated some and fix some of the errors, etc. I am anxious to see if it made a difference. I texted them as well and reminded them.
Everyone left w/o helping me figure out the new wards and stuff------

Sunday, church. We are not assigned a ward as yet. We need to be so we can get involved with the missionary work.

The 13th I tried to stay bored so the day would last longer. Danette is going to girls camp so she and Kelly have been busy preparing. We went swimming with Snells and then Maddy cooked dinner. It was yummy! Madison is going to girls camp as well. She is concerned about the 4th year hike but looking forward to it. The Dr. released her to go.

The 9th, 10th and 11th are zone training. One of my jobs is to do commissary. We have 8 zones in our mission. El Paso, Mount Franklin, New Mexico, Gila Valley, Sierra Vista, Rincon, Tucson, and Northwest. I text each zone leader and ask them to give me a list of supplies their zone needs and then I fill the order. The APs take it across the mission. It is a hard job for an old lady. The Book of Mormons come in a box of 40 books. They are heavy! I mark the zone on the boxes and pile everything up for that zone. That happens every month and then there are transfer times too.

Sunday

We went to church and said our goodbyes. WE had dinner for at Whitney's and then started for Az. Danette and I rode in the car, she did the driving. Dad rode in the truck. I kept worrying about him falling asleep. We stayed in Mesquite. Started out the next day after breakfast at McDonald's. We did alot of stopping, we old folks need to stretch our legs. I think we drove Danette crazy. she didn't say anything. We showed her the Belligo, however it is spelled. It is so pretty, she took pictures. I do not like this keyboard, I am typing on my laptop and I hit wrong keys and spaces.
Tues. we headed back to the office and doing that ever since. We usually get home about 6, clean up and go to bed. I have been reading and resting and then to sleep.
We went to dinner with the Porth's, they are nice people but talk about themselves constantly and butt in when your are talking. It gets annoying
Sat. P day, we met Melanie and the children and shopped alittle and had lunch. We then met Snells for a swim. I didn't go swimming because I am not supposed to get my incision wet. Jared took the stitches out Thurs. It is looking good for a scar on your face.
