Rain again?

As we got up this morning at 5:15 and looked out there were raindrops on the window, but as we put our hand out for the second test we did not feel anything. Still as we watched we could see lighting from cloud to cloud, which looked very foreboding. We decided to do our typical morning preparation and then check for rain again. Again it really looked like it could start raining any time and the streets were damper than before. We decided to see if we could go on at least a short walk, but as we got out of the gate the skies did not look as threatening as before. Our short walk turned into our normal walk and it felt good to take our morning walk, even though it was super humid.

Before our mission we would always kid that our children knew when we were praying because that is when the phone rang the most. This morning we had just begun our personal prayers when  the phone rang with a FaceTime call. It was our six year old grandson calling to let us know that he had got the postcard from Taiwan that our friend Chad mailed for us. Then since he had us on the phone and he was just in the car heading somewhere he wanted to chat. We were told that FaceTime was created so grandmas could go on missions.

We were still to our office before 8:00 and working away when we realized that we had intended to have a video chat with one of our children this morning. Since we do not have privacy at our desks we sent into the Conference Room to make our call, but we forgot to tell the others in our department. By time we came back to our desks they were looking for us, Steve in Taiwan wanted Elder Oveson to give him a call on Skype. They needed to work out some kinks in some PEF applications.

This afternoon we had our bimonthly Team Meeting via the internet. Most of the Managers and Specialists were there but we had one of the SRS Missionary couples whose internet just was not going to work today. They eventual called their country manager on the phone and just listened to the meeting over the phone.

Time marches on and our time left is getting shorter, but we know that there is a lot left for us to do in the next 50+ days. We want to leave with as much done as we can, knowing that with the Lord's help the work will go forward.
