He puts water in the sluice where everyone pans for gold
when we are on in the mornings and turns it all off and closes it up when we
are on at night. He hammers big chunks
of iron pyrite into nuggets and salts the sluice with them.
He puts out/takes in the sign on the corner and the rocking
chairs on the porch.
He makes sure the printer that prints pictures of your
family is working well, has paper and ink.
He helps fix audio visual stuff with the servers. A new computer will have to be put in this
week. We’ll see who is on shift for
that.
He sweeps and cleans up the property. This includes the covered wagon out front. He manages the parking lot during busy times.

He comes up front to talk to people who have various issues
and need a listening ear. Some days it
is pretty busy in that regard.
He knows me well enough to remind me to do some of my
responsibilities that I might forget. I
am glad I have the best missionary companion!
We had our monthly FHE with the seniors last Monday. The new Mission President and his family
came. The all said a few words and it
was a nice meeting. The Sisters are all
looking forward to their interviews with him this month.
This week we decided to go to Pacific Beach, which is close to where we live. We walked down the Crystal Pier, which is privately owned, but open to the public. There are over 20 cottages right on the pier you can rent. What a wonderful place that would be to stay! Except for the million or so people walking by. Lots of people fish off the pier. Another delightful day in San Diego.

At the Battalion, there are three senior couples plus the
Director and his wife. We do work with
one of the other senior couples on our shortest shift on Sunday mornings, but
we never see the other couple except as one of us is coming and the other is
going at shift change. This week we
decided to get together. Looking at the
schedule, we could either have dinner on their P day, or lunch on ours. We decided on dinner and we had a great time.
I hope we get to do it again. They live
in Orem so maybe we can continue the friendship after our missions.
This week we spotlight wonderful Sister Stephens from Ohio. She is a quiet leader. The other Sisters look to her because she is
steady and consistent. She is always
thinking and has great suggestions. She
goes out of her way to be helpful. She
goes to Ohio University and is going to be a nurse.

I think you should have a contest among the sister missionaries to come up with the best captions for each of the pictures of dad
ReplyDeleteIt seems very much like Craig to be a quiet worker, just doing his part without fanfare. I love that others come to him for advice. I was just showing your pictures to MY Craig and we don't think we've ever been to Pacific Beach or that pier. Where is it exactly?
ReplyDeleteLove to see what you are doing and thanks for the information on the sisters. I like that part, too.
Get off 5 at Garnet and go west until it ends. There is the pier! Parking can be a problem, of course, but no better way to familiarize yourself with Pacific Beach than on foot. The North side of the pier is for surfing (such as it is) and the south side is for swimming.
