Week 56 –October 7, 2019 – October 13, 2019
We had
a full week of work this week! The sun is
coming up later in the morning and setting earlier! We will start keeping track. When we go to work at 6:30 the streetlights
are still on, but we can see some light in the east. When we come home the sun is still up but
setting by 5:45.

| Our view from the lunchroom |
Monday
– We went to work this morning and got to work
before 7am. The elevator was broke, so
we walked down our spiral staircase for 4 flights. We are getting 2-3 boxes done each day. Tonight,
we watched the Sunday afternoon session of Conference. We have now seen all of Conference!
Tuesday
– We went to work at 6:15 – still dark! The Quist’s did not come in to work and we
got a little worried but we talked to our other Senior Couple, The Borgs and
they told us that the Quists had to go get there fingerprints done for
immigration. So they were a little late.
Today I got 3 boxes done – very little
medical so it goes so much faster.
Wednesday
– Today we went to work in a Mist. We had lunch with the Quist’s in the
lunchroom. We left work at 4pm right on
schedule.
Thursday
– It was Misty again this morning, roads are wet and
when we got to work it was foggy in downtown Stockholm really pretty with all the lights on the
buildings still on. I listened to some
more conference talks while working, then some US news, then listened to Sunday
School lesson and scriptures. Makes the
day go fast! Got a Marco Polo from Jenn
with Porter crying. Then the next Marco
Polo was the twin brothers in the car with Porter – and he was happy. The twins had been to preschool with Aunt
Blaire!
After work we came home and
picked up the car because we had to go get our snow tires from the Mission
Office. (When you buy a car here – you get two sets of tires – one for regular driving
and one for snow. So, the office keeps
all the extra set of tires in the basement with the license plate number on the
stack!) The Snow tires have to be on all cars by October 15 and then they have
to be replaced by April 15.
Friday
– We had breakfast and John took the car to the
dealership at 7:00 and I went to work. I
made it! All by myself! I didn’t miss any connections or get on the
wrong train! I got both of our files
transferred to the shuttles, boxed our shuttles up and went and picked up the
Quist’s shuttles and we loaded them up and took them upstairs so UPS could pick
them up. John got back to work a little
after 10. We left at 3pm so we could get
home to do laundry.
We headed for home, stopped in to
stock up at the grocery store and then stopped for gas and dinner at Daisy’s –
our diner by the gas station. We finally
got ahold of Janell on Duo for a video call and to wish her Happy Birthday in “Person”. She was happy she didn’t have to work this
weekend.
Sunday
– We drove ourselves to church today – first time in
our car. We missed getting to talk with
the Borg’s to catch up on what they did over the weekend. The Quist’s drive with them now. So, we chatted a little after church.
It’s been a great week and a
greater weekend! We hope you have had a
great week and hope you will make it even a greater one next week. Be Safe, Be Happy and Keep Smiling!
We
think of you often and miss you! Love
hearing from you! Love, John &
Linda, Mom & Dad, Gramma & Grampa
