I can"t believe three weeks have gone by. Time is flying. We are getting ready for our second transfer meeting. I think I told you every thing revolves around six weeks transfers. I'll try to bring us up to date.
We are still keeping very busy at the Mission Office, partly because I'm slow and we have a lot to do. But WE LOVE IT!!! Everyone is so good to us. Some of the things I've been learning and doing is putting to gather a revised Texas Houston South Mission Handbook. It has 66 pages and is bond. We just got is back this week, just in time for our new missionaries. The book contains information for the missionaries like Phone numbers.ward listings, mission procedures and standards and policies.
A week ago we had Elder and Sister Zwick (Quorum of the Seventies) come and tour our mission. It was a beautiful and spiritual experience. We were invited to attend one of the Zone meetings where they taught the missionaries. It is amazing to me to see what they ask the missionaries to accomplish. And they step up to the task and do it. They taught a lot about being teachable, obedient, listen to and follow the spirit. The only way we can teach the gospel and for others to know of its truthfulness. They shared --We must not limit ourselves by what we think we can do, say, accomplish but rely on the Holy Ghost to expand your ability to do things we are asked to do. I can see this happening to us. I am not a Secretary or computer expert. But I'm doing things I would never of imagined. It takes me all day and night but it happening. We are grateful for our opportunity to serve a mission and to serve in the Texas Houston South Mission.
It was interesting when we meet the Zwicks Gaylen had worked with him when he worked for the State of Utah. Larry and Catherine Casutt also know him and had great things to say about him.
During all the meetings and assignments we are still entering in about 40 to 50 referrals a day and about 10 Baptism a week. We put out a Newsletter and did Pres. Notes.
We have been keeping in touch with Ron and Mary Clark. Mary has not been well for several months. They informed us she had cancer which we were very sad to hear. We prayed she could get treatment and regain her health but that was not to be. She passed away last week with Ron and her family around her. We will miss her so much. She was so kind and good to Gaylen and I. We shared a lot of good times together,they've been a great example to us. We are so grateful for the knowledge of the gospel and eternal life.
We have had a lot of rain and very chilly but it is starting to warm up. Things are starting to get green and trees are starting to leaf. They have a lot of pansies planted and they are looking bright and happy.
We are going into the Office today to try and get caught up on paper work and be ready for Transfers Tue. Pres. Saylin assigned us to a new Ward ,we are to go to the Sugar Land 2nd Ward. we will miss our other ward. They have been so kind and friendly. We will start there tomorrow at 9:00.
The laundry is calling to change loads. We'll talk again after I get my work done. Well maybe before that.
