First 15 Days

From Sunday, June 19, 2011 to Sunday, July 3, 2011 I spent about 55 hours engaged in the work of the Lord. Between interviews, letters, emails, phone calls, authoring a ward newsletter article, debriefings, meetings, worship services, prayers, baptisms, home visits and just getting things organized, I had something substantive to do every day of the week for 15 straight days. My commentary in our family's monthly newsletter: "The hours are long, but the rewards are sweet."
