RETURN TO LEVEL 1

After an action packed week before, this week was rather tranquil.  Wrapped up work at the home office. Saturday, I made 2 trips back to the area offices to transport my computer, materials, chair and supplies to my old office and spent the afternoon setting things up there again.  Almost felt like going home again.  Afterwards, I went back to apartment A-302 in Shoelhaven apartments and cleaned, vacuumed and set the furniture in the apartment back up again so it was livable once more.  It actually was a blessing working from the apartment in that I learned how to work remotely, and got better at a paperless environment.  I liked rolling out of bed and getting right to work, and coming home for lunch every day.  Friday evening Alisa and I went out to dinner at Bushman’s Grill with the Craig and Jackie Poll.  Saturday morning we also played pickleball at a nearby elementary school.  Otherwise, not much too exciting happened this week.  Today our YSA ward starts meeting for regular Sacrament and other meetings so it will be nice to compare notes on how all the young adults did during the Covid 19 lockdown.  New Zealand went all the way down to level 1 this week, there are no reported cases of Covid 19 in the entire country.  I attribute this mainly to them locking down the borders early on, as many of the island nations have had the same results of no such illnesses.  Now I’ll be watching to see how the economies of these countries I do work for come back. Also, this week we marked our one year anniversary of entering the MTC.  Looking back the time seemed to go quickly, but looking forward time still seems to pass slowly as I wait to get back to family and friends.
