Our first day basically on our own (although there were a couple of calls to the Clarks to ask those questions I probably should have known the answers to had I been paying total attention during the training). But it was a 12.75-hour day, beginning at 7:45 and ending at 8:30 after we delivered two suitcases to the Elders in Stadium 1 Ward who hadn't had room to take them during the transfer. I felt like water was constantly being poured over my head as more and more things to do kept coming in. Nevertheless, I persisted in breathing and survived (even though I didn't get lunch because my companion was so late getting back from the car sale transaction in Bellevue).
We then went to the Ward Council meeting and enjoyed being back with our friends in the Wapato Park Ward. One of the Office Elders has been put out to pasture in our ward, and he's going to do a great job. However, we are missing one of our adopted Elders who got transferred up north. And so goes the mission. The Clarks drive away tomorrow morning. Thank goodness for cell phones!!!
Better get to bed since tomorrow will be starting off about the same time today did. New missionary training (for Elder Quillon) for half the day. And I'm going to see if I can't finish up the jobs in the "In Box" on my desk!
One rather desperate note to the day...the replacement couple is going to arrive later than we were thinking they were. In the famous words of one of Elder Quillon's sisters-in-law, "Hurry back and save us all!"
