Time Is Measured Only Unto Men

Elder Oveson has an ability to guess the time fairly accurately even when has not looked at a clock for a while. That is because he is a number person and anything with numbers just make sense to him. With that intro today is day 550 of our mission of about 700 days. But the scriptures teach that, "all is as one day with God, and time only is measured unto men." It sounds like Elder Oveson will have to give up on measuring time eventually.

This morning we stayed home and worked at our apartment for about three and a half hours. We had several Skype calls scheduled and the internet usually works better here, and there is definitely more privacy here than at our desks in the middle of the office. We had a great connection with Sister Roberts in Hong Kong and had, as usual, a great chat with her. She is absolutely more than a fellow missionary, she is a friend. Our connection with Taiwan was not as good so we had to turn off our cameras to maintain the sound from breaking up.

This afternoon we worked more on our PowerPoint presentations and Institute lesson. We are finally starting to feel that we may make it through this week.

When we got to the office we had a Vidyo call with the full Asia Self-Reliance Team about the Perpetual Education Loans. About half way through the call the internet kicked us out and we could not get back in again.

Tonights collage has pictures from our morning walk, of the building going up across from our apartment and some fun things from the grocery store. Sister Oveson loves the smaller Clean Wrap a.k.a. Cling Wrap, and on the toilet paper they have a "Bark Code" instead of a Bar Code.
