Another week at the office!

It has been a very busy week trying to catch up with inputting all the baptismal records I’ve left because of our special visit from Elder Bednar. Then I had to chase up on a few  things but thankfully all done and they will just have their final check through on Monday. If there is anything wrong then I will have to contact Global Service centre in Salt Lake to amend them. I can then start work on the next newsletter for the mission. I like doing that it’s fun and especially nice to look at the baptism photos. I’ve also made a couple of visits to the visitor centre this week. First with Elder Saunders to pick up a couple of Hindi Book of Mormon so that Elder Saunders could deliver them to missionaries in Tauranga on Wednesday. Then on Thursday I first went to the distribution centre which is underneath the Vistors Centre and managed to exchange  two Tongan church magazines, the Liahona, for Samoan ones. The past two months we have been issued with the Liahona in place of the Ensign. There have been a few complaints including mine so from next month we are going back to the Ensign. Yippee But I managed to also swap the 12 Liahonas for 12 Ensigns so that I could at least give them to the senior couples in the mission. Also while I was there, there just happened to be a missionary from Bournemouth Ward, England visiting the Temple. Elder Kenchington is in the MTC (Missionary Training Centre) in Auckland and they always go to the Temple the Thursday before they leave for their mission areas.  So a coincidence that I was there you may be thinking? Hmm!
I must say that I am or was looking forward to a quiet weekend at home catching up on reading, shopping and maybe a little housework But that was not to happen/. See my next blog.
