HI Fab family & friends: Last weekend our computer was down thru Monday, when we got some help from YSA's to bring it back up; yesterday one of the same YSA's came over to download our important computer data, so it doesn't get lost. Our CES Coordinator told us if it crashs we won't be able to get it replaced and will need to go to the chapel or ? and we can actually understand that to a degree. But we use it to obviously get and send e-mail from and to family, as well as get supplemental info for our classes. We are also very dependant on our e-mail to the YSA's. Evan, the YSA, who has been helping us, etc is fairly certain he can get us a used one that is not as old as the one we use; so we are hopeful we can get a new/ used computer in place within the next several business days. We have fallen behind in e-mails and probably won't do a missionary update until the computer problem is worked out. Last week was one of our busiest weeks with Uni classes/ Institute class/ BOM class/ Seminary Inservice class/ 1st Eternal Marriage class/ Dad baptizing Charissa, a 25 yr old/ young Aussie gal; we were out 5 out of the last 7 nights with an Institute fireside/ testimony meeting included. We weren't back in our flat most of those nights until 9:30 to 11 PM, whew can I say we were tired. But true to form, Dad, the perpetual work-a-holic loved it all. I did too, but just find it a bit tiring, especially the night work. One of the nights we weren't out, we had our Institute President and YSA VP over each with friends for supper to thank the President of Institute and VP of YSA for their fabulous service, as one flies to the states and the other returns to her native New Zealand. So now we are in the process of getting them replaced, which will be hard as they were so excellent at what they did; and as always the problem in this stake, is it is small and manpower is always an issue. Adding to that shortage, is many of our YSA's tend to hold key stake positions. I am afraid this computer may fail as I write; so need to close. You are all in our prayers and we feel and appreciate yours. We miss and love you all. And hope you are all well. Love, mom/grandma mac/ also friend Pat aka Sis mac |
