As I have written a number of times, going to district meeting with the great young missionaries is often the highlight of our week. It gives us a spiritual boost and encourages us to be better missionaries ourselves. Today we learned a better door approach for harvesting, the need for being in harmony with our companion, and committed to only give a blessing on a house if the spirit was present.

  

 

On the upper left we have elders Kealamakia, Hanna – who was visiting on a split with elder K – and elder Beard. In the middle one are elders Hanna, Beard and Conger – the last two are our excellent zone leaders. The picture on the upper right has sister Hong, with elders K and Hanna…notice how in this one and the lower right picture the elders and sister are resting their very tired and now spiritually filled heads on their hands. The last picture just shows the fruit on one of the palms near our apartment.

After the meeting we went into the office where Mary worked on an excel program that elder Steimle asked her to make and I worked on another one that I thought he needed to make his and possibly in the future job as financial secretary easier. Mary is a whiz when it comes to excel and I am plodding my way through. I think I will get the Excel for Dummies book so I have some idea on what I am doing. I should have paid closer attention in the MTC to what Josh Ostler was trying to teach us.

As a  little side note, today was the first day that the Tiwi boxes I mentioned yesterday went into effect and of course Elder Beagley got calls all day from elders and sisters who had some problems with them. The main one seems to be with the logging in and out… but I am sure that most problems will work themselves out in the near future.
