End-of-Month Crunch

Journal entries, reports, and corrections for accounting.  Praying for strength and guidance.  Opening and furnishing new missionary apartments!  Driving many miles through unfamiliar townships ... seemingly seamless; getting to know the southeast Michigan territory.  September ended on Saturday, our preparation day. Loading the mission truck, driving, unloading, just working all day with a one-hour break to watch General Conference in a meetinghouse near a lease signing for a new apartment.  We were inspired by the messages! 

Walking around Target for our week’s supply of food, etc.  Except for seeing piles of candy and decorations in stores, no thought about the holidays starting this month.

Anticipating more gospel study.  Adding some fun importing iPhone pics, emailing, sharing, ... maybe a little Facebook.  Expecting another crunch at the end of October.

Recalling names of extraordinary people we have met.  Recording daily miracles and tender mercies.  We can only begin to count our many blessings from our loving Heavenly Father!

That's what went down as we wrapped up the month of September.
