I have decided to try and take pictures of companionships when they come into the office. On the left are Elder S. Wood and T. Dean. They are known by the initial of their first names because we also have a C. Wood and J. Dean but they are not serving together. Of course if the Lord inspires President Anderson we could have S. and C. Wood and T. Dean and J. Dean serving together. Then there are B & K Jones and H & J Owen.  In the middle are Elder Rockwood and Elder Valderrama – I must ask Elder Rockwood if he wrestled in high school. The last picture is of a mother duck and 23 little ones…we are pretty sure they are not all hers but she obviously is watching over the whole brood.

  

The office got new carpet over the weekend (July 14-15) which required a lot of packing on our part and a lot of moving on the part of the carpet layers. I honestly could not believe that they could get everything moved out of rooms, take up the old carpet, prepare the floor, lay the new carpet and put everything back in just two days. We also must thank the four Assistants – Elders Kealamakia, Giorgino, Rippstein, and Avila  for taking apart and putting back together all the electronics such as computers, copiers, and telephones – they are the best!
