Week 22--November 21-28, 2015

Thanksgiving was celebrated on Friday, November 27.

Sister Swift, Sister Broadhead, Sister Jones, Sister Rogers, and Elder Broadhead enjoy some munchies and visiting while waiting for the turkey to get done cooking.

Elder Broadhead, Sister Swift, and Sister Brady enjoy a visit with each other.

Elder Swift is trying to help Elder Brady and Elder Rogers with some phones issues.

Sister Bertin with the turkey fresh from the oven. Just need to check the thermometer to make sure it is done.

 Our plates are loaded and we are ready to savor the wonderful dishes prepared by all.

 After dinner it was game time for those who wanted to play or just visiting. Sister Rogers, Elder Rogers, Sister Jones, and Elder Brady are intense as they play Racko. Elder Jones and Sister Brady look on. We were playing Five Crowns on the other end of the table.

We have been asked to give a Family History presentation at the Christmas Conference to encourage the missionaries to use family history as a tool for proselyting, reactivating and retaining members.

We have gone through the presentation we used in Hong Kong and will use it with some modifications suggested by President Bertin after viewing it. 

Tom is working on a new task of ordering checks to pay rents on the apartments we lease--a total of 68. This has to be done quarterly. There is a lot of work that goes into each rental. Not only does the check need to be requested, but a tax form has to be filled out and envelopes created to put the paper work and check in that then has to be delivered to the landlord. With some many new apartments it has been extra challenging. There is never a lack of things to do. One project is finished and a new one is ready to be started.
