Week 3 Idaho Nampa Mission

 Well it has been a busy week in the office as I continue to learn my duties. We had a great Christmas weekend. The week in the office was slow as we are experiencing some really cold weather. Everyone says that this is sure unusual for the area, but we have been here 6 yrs now an this is the 2nd time we have had a severe weather. The office continues to be a challenge as I am now preparing for the annual audit. Now I have to change all the files and put last years records away. Sharon is doing well with her responsibilities and enjoying meeting all the missionaries when they come into the office.

We got some fit bit's for Christmas. I had order and received two and then saw Sharon searching for one, so I told her not to buy any. She said "to late I already have one and was going to order another". So we returned all 3 and she bought 2 other ones. Now we awake to vibration on our wrist, hourly reminders to get up and walk around. So we walk around the DI warehouse every hour for 2-3 laps. We also go over to Karcher Mall across the street and walk it during lunch. Still need to do more, not getting enough exercise.

We have had sone problems with pipes freezing around the mission, so news went out to let the faucets drip a little, hopefully we can prevent some pipe damage. We get enough auto damage with the slick roads, we don't need other cost.

Elder & Sister Bayley have pretty much finished their mission. They were released about 2 weeks early, I think they were a little trunky!! President & Sister Sorensen are really not use to this weather, he won't let her even drive on the roads!

It is always a rewarding experience to be around the young Elders & Sisters. We hate to see them leave and rejoice with the new arrivals. The mission is pretty active with about 4-5 baptism's a month and most missionaries are busy. Some areas are not as productive but over all I think they are having a good experience. We want to to wish everyone a Happy and prosperous New Year.

                    the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon
                    the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all
                    things what ye should do." 2 Nephi 32:3
