Just thought I would give a little update. Our computer is down so I haven't been able to blog....and if it was working, I wouldn't have time to blog anyway! We are getting into the routine of leaving every morning and being gone all day. It has been an adjustment for me, but it's working! We have had some great experiences already and we love working so closely with the missionaries! They are all amazing young men. There are six of us in the office. Sister Nachetes is the main secretary, Sister Roudolf does referrals, Brother Roudolf is in charge of the mission cars, Sister Corcran is the mission nurse (she is from SLC), Elder Holt (Birch) is the finance man, and I (Sister Holt) am doing all the reporting, newsletter, pictures, and anything else they ask me to do! The mission President and his wife are amazing, it been fun to get to know them. We are keeping really busy, and I am learning alot on the computer!
Last week was transfer week. We had 18 new missionaries come to Minnesota. 11 went home. The week was full of special dinners, testimony meetings, training etc. We didn't get home most nights until 10:00. We have the Hmong missionaries living with us until they can get into their apartment, hopefully sometime this week. They are great guys and it's been fun to have them in our home. Tonight for dinner we had 6 missionaries over. We enjoyed each one of them.....(I keep telling them I have some really cute nieces).
It has been a good experience. One day as the sun was streaming in the front and back windows of the office, the tabernacle choir was singing in the background, we had just begun the day with prayer, we were surrounded by kind members and Elders I realized that this is the perfect place to work. I am grateful for this opportunity that has come our way right now. I'll try and post pictures one of these days!

Sounds great. I'm glad that you are adjusting well. As for the missionaries, You gotta love them!!
I know their moms would be glad they are in such good hands!! :)
WE will miss you in the Primary! WE are thankful for the time we had with you! It sounds like Heavenly Father is having you wear many hats these days!
Makes me happy to wonder what might be in store for Bob and me in serving the Lord. How wonderful to be "standing" in such an amazing "place."
I thought I had the perfect job to feel the spirit all day. Sounds like you win. I only get missionaries on transfer day while they are waiting for new companions. I do however look at the Temple all day while I am at work. I am glad you are adjusting well. I am sure that Target has missed you.
