More New Friends and New Assignments

It would appear whoever organizes the assignments we might be given heard of the maxim that if you want something done give the project to someone who is busy. Our pace has continued to quicken and our project load increase. Yesterday Elder Oveson was asked to be part of the team that reviews PEF loans in Asia. We are still frantically working on putting together a Quarterly Service Center Report that will be submitted to the Ministry of Religion and Cults. We have pulled it together to a point to ask for additional input from the Public Affairs couple. 

Today was a busy day with internet calls as well. We were able to FaceTime our daughter this morning and see our new grandson. At the office this morning we placed Skype Calls to Elder and Sister Rasmussen who are serving as Self Reliance Missionaries in Malaysia. then to Elder and Sister Chandler who just arrived this week in Hong Kong. We are enjoying our assignment as communications couple for the Asia Self-Reliance team. What a joy to make friends with so many people in so many places around the world.

We have other projects we are continuing to work on as well. We took a break from the office for a few minutes to take a walk, starting together and taking different directions at an intersection, with Elder Oveson going to the barber and Sister Oveson to the Mission Home. 

Tonight we had the opportunity to get to know Elder and Sister Thurston a little better as we introduced them to Mama's New York Deli, one of our favorite eating places. Life is full with so many new friends and the Lord's work to keep us busy. What could be better than that?
