First I will tell you how the office is.  Basically it is completely different from normal missionary work because we are always in the office sitting instead of out teaching and walking all day.  There is a lot to do to run the mission.  A lot more than I had ever really thought about before.  There are a lot of things that have to be done that are just really little things, but if they don't get done then something bad happens.  There are a lot of little things like that.  Also, there are some really big projects that have to be done.  Right now I am organizing all the bills for gas, water and electricity for all of the houses in the mission into binders and creating lists of all the bills in the computer.  So I have to type all the information for each bill into the computer and there are hundreds of bills.  So that is fun.  Whenever we don't have something to do someone calls and asks us to do something more... haha.  It just never ends.  It is definitely different from normal missionary work, but just as important as well.  If the office doesn't run well, then the missionaries can't work.  So its kind of interesting how that works. The people in the office are really cool too.  I get along with the two office elders and the assistants really well, and there are two senior couples in the office as well.   So overall I am enjoying it here in the office.

Also, we are going to have a baptism today of a lady that the office elders have been teaching forever. She couldn't get baptized because she was living with someone, and they weren't married because he was in the process of divorcing his previous wife.  They were finally able to get married and now she is getting baptized today!  wooo!


So, this P-day we decided to get out of the office for a bit.  We went to an art museum that is downtown.  It was pretty cool, but also pretty small.  I actually liked the building it was in more than the actual art.  The building is super old and had art basically built into it.  The pillars of the building are people and there are all these sculptures and stuff on the walls.  It was pretty cool.
