We have just had our family home evening with our group which consists of the executive secretary to Pres.Condie (Elder Roushay) not that spelling the what it sounds like from Bountiful, our area doctor who we just met today Merrills from Tustin, Calif. Elder and Sister Mackey from SLC, Elder and Sr. Duvall from Laramie, (who know Fishers) Elder and Sr.Turpin who we are replacing from Bountiful, Meriam Langford who we llive with now and another sister from England who we know as Jeanette. The head guy for Australia and NZ over human resources, Bro. and Sr. Gurney. We went to dinner last week and had snacks and visited tonight.
Turpins spoke in our ward yesterday and I was ask to speak on the 20th of April so guess we will be attending that ward which is 30 minutes up north. Guess they llike to spread the missionaries out abit. Lots of the area employees attend that ward. We are invited to dinner with Turpins for the next weeks prior to their departure. The head project guy (Brent Summerhays has been here for the past week or so He leaves with our boss tomorrow for Tahiti.
I am gradually learning my duties. Main thing is to know what islands we deal with, how to spell them and better yet how to pronounce them and then put the people we deal with in the correct categories. Kiribati is pronounced as Kerribus, Vanauta is Vanahwatoo, Tahiti is ok as is Samoa and Western Samoa, New Caledonia is ok, Marjuro is ok, Tonga is ok and there is one other area that we have that I can't remember. I have to keep the records of who does what in each country--like directors and consultants for each library. We are trying to get the mailings out to NZ and the Cook Islands for New Family Search startup to help our counter parts. They go online before our three temple districts do. I finallly got my own sign on for the LDS system as did Dad. Will send you guys our phone numbers when we get back to the office tomorrow. Our mailing address for now is the church office building where you need to send packages, letters etc. It is 11 Huron, Takapuna 0622, Auckland, New Zealand. Mail is safer going there. Our house address will be 2-25 Huron, Takapuna 0622, Auckland, New Zealand.
Dad is beginning to drive. It can be scary but we are adjusting fast. Lots of round abouts that go the other way around so you are always looking right instead of left. The NZlanders are complaining because people walk on the right instead of the left. Oh well.
Got to go---its late.
Love you guys, Mom and Dad
email us. We want to hear from the grandkids too. They can type??? Love and hugs.
