Elder David y Hna. Pam Johnson

We really got some good work done in the office today. Except for some interruptions Pam got all of the new missionary packets finished. That’s a major project with half a dozen mail merge pages in each one and collated. She is really learning the office duties fast. Her teacher, Elder Ovalles, was gone all morning to a dentist appointment so Pam was on her own for most of the work. She only needed his help on a little of the merging tasks when he returned. She thinks she can’t do the work but she’s doing a great job.

One of the interruptions was the Duania (our landlord, Dr. Nieves de Henriquez) had the AC repairman come by today and fix the drain leak so we can finally use the AC in the guest bedroom. I got to meet her husband for the first time. He’s a lawyer and worked as legal counsel at the Dominican Embassy in Washington DC for a couple of years. She’s a cardiologist! He said that she has saved his life several time.

This evening we fought traffic for almost an hour and only drove 4 miles to the MTC on the Temple grounds for FHE with all of the Senior Couples that serve as temple workers or have other mission calling here in the capital. We met many couple and I’m sure we will get to know them all very well as we plan to always attend FHE with them. Pam was delighted to meet her office counterpart in the Santo Domingo East mission. She will be a big help to her when she has questions about the Churches computer system.
