Can it get any crazier?

Things have not slowed down for us here. We keep waiting for a day to catch up on reading, resting and writing, but it is not to be.  We are still trying to get some contacts with folks. For some reason we cannot get LDS tools to download the information for the stake that we need. We have talked to SLC and mission office and mission president. Blah, blah, blah. So, we have gone the old fashioned route. We have tried to make appointments with bishops and stake presidents and been successful at getting appointments with a few. We've got a few lists now and have tried to contact some of the military families.

As we are trying to get settled and organized, the most experienced MRM's here had an emergency with the sister's back and had to leave the mission to go home for surgery. There are now only three couples here covering 9 military installations and 9 stakes where military members live off base. One couple covers the Marine Corps Recruit Depot single handedly. That leaves us and one other couple who came into the mission with us to cover the rest. President Stubbs asked if we would be the MRM coordinators. Talk about the blind leading the blind. We don't know north from south or up from down, but will try to figure things out and still be able to go out and touch some lives.

We had a chance to go to the temple this week. Wow! The San Diego Temple is amazing! It is like walking into heaven. (Warning: the cafeteria has lousy pizza, but delicious tapioca and coconut cream pie)

There was a multi stake fireside the other night for potential Senior Missionaries. We met some really great people there who gave us some useful tips. The church NEEDS Senior Missionaries badly. so plan ahead everyone.

And lastly, we had an incredible rain storm yesterday. Remember the old song..."it never rains in California...it pours, man it pours"
