Well, this week has been an eventful one for us. On Monday, Elder Weston called us & asked if we could meet with Pres. Hemingway for our interview at noon instead of Saturday when it had been scheduled
earlier. Of course, we said yes & met with him at that time. He asked us to go to the mission office for a while - who knows how long. Jokingly I commented that Willard Bean had been asked to come to the Smith Farm for an indefinite period of time & it had ended up to be 25 years. He assured me that it would not be that long. He said they needed us there so we agreed and started on Tuesday, (which was supposed to be our p-day). We work 9 to 5 each day with Saturday & Sunday off and we drive to Fariport each day - about 12 miles one way. We work in the Temple Saturday morning & Elder Weston wants us to work at least 1 day at the sites (so we don't get too rusty) - so we take a site shift on Sunday. That leaves O p-days - I am not sure just how we are going to work it out. It felt good to have the afternoon off yesterday (haven't had a day off since Oct. 30th). I got some cleaning & cooking done finally. I hope I get use to these longer hours because at the sites we had either a morning (9-1) or afternoon (1-6) shift with a p-day & sometimes an on call day each week. I almost feel like I have gone back to work-ha. I take care of the referrals & missionary stuff and Elder Bennett takes care of the cars. We have learned a lot & are doing some things all by our selves already. It's not hard, just busy. 
Elder & Sister Froisland are in charge of the office & have the brunt of the office work so we help them sometimes if we can. They are a great couple! There are 2 Elders assigned there also but we are being trained to take their place as one is going home & the other, out in the field, thus - that's why we are needed there. I guess the President requested a couple for the office but they got a call to the Florida mission instead - so he is still waiting. We will work there until they get someone on a permanent basis.
The weather has been fairly good but we have had a skiff of snow already. Today is supposed to be cold & rainy but so far it is fairly nice. It freezes at night sometime thought and promises to be cold later this week. We have boots, earmuffs & scarves so I guess we are prepared. I am not looking forward to winter!
