The Office

We've been out 9 months today. It's probably about time to tell you about what we do all day. It might be better to show you.

Sister Street, first thing in the morning as we're all arriving. The office gets
lighter once we open the blinds.

Often we're surprised to find missionaries doing their studies in the office
when we get there. Guess we're just irresistible!

Sister Street uses President Pratt's office when he's not there. There's a
Canadian flag in the other corner.

We do more than just talk. Honest!

We had an Elder Smith in our mission who lost the back magnet on his name tag. Someone found the front part and stuck it on the picture of Joseph Smith that's jut above Sister Street. People get a kick out of seeing him wearing a missionary tag.

The windows on the left look into Elder Holbrook's office.

The Conference Room, or Fishbowl as Sister Street calls it.

The Storage Room - anyone want a Book of Mormon in Arabic? We've got
them, and in Portuguese and Hindi and Spanish and Russian and Simplified
Chinese and a grundle of other languages in addition to English and French.
The boxes on the table are full of supplies ready to be delivered missionaries
at zone training later this week.

The back end of the Storage Room with lots of pamphlets in just
as many languages. The big overhead garage door makes it easy
to wheel bikes in and out and get our supply deliveries.

And more storage in a small loft upstairs--the missionaries put their
extra stuff up there when they get transferred to Newfoundland and they
can't fit everything in their two suitcases. How they get it all home is a
story for another day.

Between the post on our apartment a few weeks ago and this one, you know now where we spend most of our time!

It is a blessing to be here. The area is beautiful, the people are wonderful, spring has (finally) arrived and is quickly turning into summer. The missionaries have a zest and enthusiasm for sharing the gospel. It's great to be a part of it all!
