Journal entries from May 24, 2011 to May 26, 2011

Tuesday, May 24, 2011:  Bryan e-mailed me at work to ask if I had heard if Uncle Bob wasyaMsurvivors.  I told him that Sylvia, Bob’s daughter lived there.  So he called Bob and left a message to see if everyone was okay.   I got an email from Bryan on Wednesday morning that she was okay.  She lived about two blocks from where the tornado touched down.  Very lucky she didn’t get hurt.

Marv had meetings at work all day for Centers for Young Adults.  They had a committee meeting where they approved some more centers.   He met with Heinz Kanobby about the funding for the centers in the afternoon.  They had a lunch of Doner’s brought in and invited me to eat with them.  Diane Asplund and I shared a wrap which was plenty big. 
 
I worked on paymentnet charges and in the afternoon we had training on how to run some reports in CFIS.  It was really beneficial and I hope to use it soon.  

Wednesday, May 25, 2011:   I literally spent all day pulling up the paymentnet charges and reviewing the transaction notes and writing up questions on things I was seeing.  I made some coding changes.   We left at 5 pm and took Blake’s with us and dropped them off at Woolworth’s while we continued home to change our clothes for cleaning our chapel.   We picked them back up and proceeded to the chapel.  President and Sister Ninow and one of their sons, Brother and Sister Blake, Sister Simonet, and Marv and I cleaned the church house.   I cleaned the kitchen, Marv cleaned some of the bathrooms and then mopped the kitchen, hall and entry way.  President Ninow washed the windows, Sister Ninow vacuumed, Brother Blake vacuumed, Sister Blake shined the drinking fountains and worked on the bathrooms, Sister Simonet helped clean bathrooms and some other vacuuming, the Ninow’s son emptied the garbage’s and cleaned some of the windows.   I think it looked pretty good when we were done and it probably only took about an hour to do it.   It is amazing how much you can get done when there are lots of help.  

Then we stopped at Kentucky Fried Chicken and order two meals.  We were able to get three chicken breasts each with coleslaw and mashed potatoes and gravy (Marv) and I had French fries with mine.  It cost us 16€ and the guy gave us a VIP discount.   We ended up with 4 chicken breasts left over so I got a box and brought them home.  Now we will have lunch and dinner for tomorrow.
We took the Blake’s home and then we came home.  We got home around 9 p.m.   We got to talk to Bryan for about 20 minutes at 10 p.m. our time and 2 p.m. his time.   It is always good to talk to him.  We are really getting used to talking to him almost every day.   He is a great guy.   I hope he can find the right house for them to buy.  I’m sure they will.

Christie e-mailed that Scott got a summer job with the forest service but it doesn’t start until June 20th and he will only be able to work about 6 weeks.  They feel blessed that they  got this job because the week before they had been told they were not hiring this year.   I fasted and prayed for them on Sunday so maybe that helped too.  

Thursday, May 26, 2011:   Today was pretty much just a normal day at work.  I worked on reminding people to do their paymentnet charges by reviewing them, putting transaction notes, and making account codes are correct.   Heidi did the devotional this morning on being cheerful and it was a great reminder.  Those in the office were Heidi, Jens, Erik (kind of) he was with a guy they are considering hiring for Albania.  He is  a convert but he is from Albania, served his mission in Seattle, went to Ricks College and has been married for 10 years.  He has two children.  He seemed really nice.   I guess one of the hang ups is the fact that he has a school loan that needs to be paid and if they hire him, it won’t be enough to make his payment.  

This morning I noticed that Scott was on SKYPE and so I started a chat to see if he could talk.   We chatted back and forth (wrote to each other).   He has hired two people.  One for the RPA  “May” from the Phillipines and one from San Diego for their SEO business.  This guy will go out and contact people who want their presence on the web.  I really think this will be a great move for him and John.  I think they can do some wonderful things with this and actually make a good living so that Kristin can quit work.   He is working really hard.   He works during the day tending the kids and then trying to train the people he has hired.   Apollo is doing great and he works at night for Scott.   I hope May will work out really good for him too.   I really feel the Lord is starting to really bless him.   I am so proud of him.  

I am proud of Bryan and who he is and what he has done with his life.   He is great father and husband and is so good to us too.
  
Christie is an awesome daughter and we feel so blessed to have her in our life.  She is very talented with writing and she is a great mom. 
 
When we got home, I hemmed Marv’s temple pants and then went to the store to buy something for Sister Windley’s birthday tomorrow.   I ended up buying her a little box of mini chocolate bars that said Celebration on the top.  I thought that is appropriate.   I also bought myself some yellow roses.  I think there were a dozen and they only cost 1.99 €.  That’s the best price of everything. 
We made us cheese sandwiches for dinner.  It was getting late and I was tired.   We had left over Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch today.   It was been warm and then it rain for a few minutes and then it got humid.   It is 10:15 p.m. and it is 66 degrees.   I am so tired.  I need to go to bed.
