While the other couples went to Zone Conference or went up to Belle Glade to look at a new apartment or in one case stayed with a very sick missionary so his companion could go to a ZC, we enjoyed a quiet day in the office. Mary kept quite busy with things connected with the transfers of last week, new missionaries that are coming in and other paperwork. I paid some bills and solved problems that came up but I also had time to do some indexing, read scriptures, clean up files, and tried to figure out what to put in the mission history that I need to get finished before the end of the month. Oh – and I finally have the transfer board figured out so that the next time there is a transfer it should not take me 5 attempts to sync iMos with Establishing Zion. That should make transfers a little easier for me and people will have phone cards a lot earlier than they did this time.

What was really quiet was the office itself. Unless the printer/copier was running – as it is right now – about the only sounds that can be heard are the computer keyboards.  Even the phones have been rather quiet for the last couple of hours.

In reading D&C 8 I came across verse 8 “Remember that without faith you can do nothing; therefore ask in faith. Trifle not with these things; do not ask for that which you ought not.” The Lord was talking about Olvier and his desire to translate but I thought that this was good advice to me and others who sometime get caught up in asking about things that I ‘ought not’ instead of pondering and asking for answers to the things that are important to my calling and life.
