After the Monday devotional at the Service Center, we were introduced to our new Welfare Manager, Anna Ika. She worked at the Service Center until she retired last year. She knows how everything works here and she knows all the people we work with, both on the campus and in the community. She will be a great help to us!
We went to the airport to see the Jensen’s off and it is a good thing we did. Elder Jensen had the mission credit card in his pocket and if he had taken it home with him we would have been in big trouble! It was fun to see them so excited to be going home. Up until today they have been really sad about leaving but now they feel finished. It was all good.
At FHE tonight the Cahoon’s were in charge. He is one of the dentists here on a service mission. He has been a Mission President and he brought a video that the Pacific Area Presidency put together about the importance of Senior Missionaries. It was very well done and we now have a copy of it that we can share with other couples when we get home. It was a good night.
We already love Anna Ika. She is a real take charge person. We had a meeting with her this morning and she then had a meeting with all of the other area managers at the Service Center. We told her about our internet problem and she said, “I will get one of the technical support men and put him in the car with me and bring him back today!” We smiled and told her that we had been trying for 9 months to get some changes made but with now luck. Then she actually saw a student trying to use the internet in our office. It will be fun to see what she can do about it.
