| Our p-day (preparation day) outing for this week |
 |
| Working in our "day-off" clothes instead of our usual missionary attire |
What an amazing thing to see the scope and range of taking
the word of God to every land and isle of the sea! What a privilege to have some small part in
that!
Last week was our first week without our predecessors there
to help us. Of course they were as near
as the phone and we made a few calls.
Len was pretty confident from the beginning. My learning curve was steeper, but by mid-week
I was able to stop reaching for the Tums as soon as I got to the office. As promised, “everything works out” one way
or another. That happened over and
again. After dinner several nights we
went shopping to get what was needed to supply household goods for the
apartments. In eight more days we will reach a total of five new apartments
rented and furnished. By then all will
also be occupied.
We continue to marvel at what mission presidents have on
their plates! Until the mission was
divided a year ago last July, the Clarks were in charge of around 240
missionaries. Now they have more like
170 and about a 3+hour drive diameter to the mission. That’s still a tremendous responsibility,
details of which we never fully understood when our children served their
missions.
Fresno is not only the raisin capital of CA (and maybe the
world), it is also U-turn central. There is a special sign shown in the traffic
picture, which is seen frequently here.
GPS knows about it too, and often includes making a u turn in its
instructions.
Time to go to bed.
With love from
Len and Kit
