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.
