I put in a lot of extra hours at the office this week. Elder Riggs is finishing up his mission this
coming week, so I have been learning his real estate responsibilities so I can
take over for him. Since his replacement
doesn’t come for at least 2 months, I’ll be doing his work and mine as well, essentially
doing the work of 2. The good aspect of
this is that I’ll be able to design my practice a little more, and give the
parts that I don’t enjoy as much (such as tax issues!) to the new attorney
coming in.
Friday evening we had Elder and Sister Layton and Elder and
Sister Mickle over for dinner. The
Laytons have been here a couple of months, he is the executive secretary to the
area presidency. The Mickles, social
workers, are just wrapping up their mission and returning to St. George where
they have retired. We had a nice visit.
Due to all the adventures and travel with Ed the week
before, we decided to have a quiet weekend at home in Auckland. Saturday I got up late, had breakfast, then
went to the office. I had a little legal
work to get caught up on there. I also
worked on my power point presentation about The Little Red Hen and Developing a
Work Ethic, which I will be giving to the For the Strength of Youth teenagers
youth conference in January. Also, we
found out this week that our mission release date is now December 1, 2020. That matches up to an 11 night Royal
Caribbean cruise we found that will go around the South Island of New Zealand,
so I made our reservations for that. We
are located on the North Island and will have the chance to see most of that
while we are here. The cruise will give
us a chance to see the other part of New Zealand we likely won’t get to. And that will also be during our summer here
but before school summer break. So the
timing will be about right for us to see the rest of New Zealand and perhaps a
little more, then be able to return home to America in time to spend Christmas
with the family.
