Company On Our Morning Walks

As we take our morning walks we occasionally time it just right and get to walk with some of the other Senior Missionaries. This week we timed it just right twice. The first one was Sister Thurston, we came out of our front door the same time as she was headed out of her apartment. While Sister Thurston goes for a jog and walk, Elder Thurston goes on a thirty mile bike ride. She walked with us for half of our walk before continuing off on a little longer excursion. This morning we got to the park area just behind the Leavitts and walked  our round with them. It is always a joy to start our day with a walk and likewise fun to do it with our friends.

It feels like we have had more than plenty to do at our office this week. It seems like we are doing some each day between our various assignments. That definitely adds a variety to our day and makes sure that we are never bored. Today we worked on several PowerPoint presentations. The first one was helping Phanna for a presentation in next week's team video conference. We are also trying to complete an assignment that Chad, our Asia Area Manager, gave us focusing on Delegation. Elder Oveson is also training the new Assistant Executive Secretary how to do the agendas, that way they continue to use them when we leave.

We walked over to the Mission Office to return our passports to the safe, we hadn't taken them back since returning from Hong Kong. It is just safer not to have them with us or left in our apartment, we do have a copy that we carry with us if we are ever asked. We have only been asked for our passports at hotels and the airport, and hotels will use the copy.

Friday nights have traditionally been our night to eat out, even when we were Temple Ordinance Workers on Friday night. Even though we are on the other side of the world there have to be some things that do not change. Tonight we went to one of our favorites, Mama's New York Deli, and had fish and chips. She has many great dishes but her fish and chips are just so good that is what we get about fifty percent of the time.
