Monday morning again.  I am happy to report that our Sunday was good. I feel like I (we) am beginning to make this mission mine.  By circumstances beyond our control we were left on our own to handle the duties after the block.  One couple came and left early because Kathy had a migraine and Robert and Kandace had a funeral to attend (Jewish) so they left early.  We were able to meet the challenge because Sheila knew what she was doing and I was smart enough to let her do it.  We (she) ended up doing 2 food orders and I did some logistics with our files to help them be better organized and to help me know better the people that receive the service that we are there to give.  I also had the opportunity to meet several new people and continue to fall in love with the members of this unique ward family (which now includes us!).  I find that I do have a bit of a wall that I use for protection, but it is fast becoming obsolete in this new situation.  These folks are so warm, genuine and accepting that there isn't any need for my hesitancy.  I believe that I am slowing coming around.   I also believe that it is really starting to work on me.  But that will really be for all of you to judge as time goes on.  Funny thing though:  I am not able to really judge if we are giving any good service to 'them' because the thing that reverberates for me is what I see being done to and for 'me'!.
