Over the last year plus we have been saying that we needed to go over and see the operations at CJF, but we have never made it there. Last week one of their summer interns was in our office explaining a grant program that they are running, and once again we said we needed to go and visit their offices. We finally acted on our good desires today, and what a joy it was. We saw friends that we have known in a variety of ways, including our Institute Class, and made new friends. We enjoyed our visit so much that we arranged for another visit next week along with the new Public Affairs couple, Elder & Sister Dowd.
There are several different departments or areas at their business, and since we are going back next week, tonight we will tell you about one with a lot of our friends. We are not exactly sure what they called that area, but we will call it their creative department. They come up with cards, pictures, paper sculpturing and anything that they think will sell here or in the U.S. One of our favorite Institute participants, Seyha Chung, is one of those creative geniuses. Last Christmas he brought us some little paper sculpture angels for our Christmas tree. We also saw a Nativity paper sculpture set that he has designed, and they were working on an order of those for Deseret Book right now. They showed us a beautiful computer generated picture of the London Temple that he also did. He told us that he would look and see if he could do one of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple for us to buy.This afternoon we had a semi-monthly Team Meeting via WebEx. Chad and Marco are both in Mongolia for a country visit, but overall it still worked out alright. We also took care of some critical correspondence and spent some time on our Institute lesson. It feels like every day is just packed full, but it is oh so nice to feel needed.
