The weekend has now come and gone.  I got into the office earlier this morning and I read my paper and then got right to work.  It has been about 4 hours and I am at a stopping point for the time being.  I am still waiting for Richard, but I figured that he would be late as he and Phil got back from their service mission to North Dakota some time during the early morning hours.  I am also now waiting for Sheila to go by the post office and Cullimore's and hopefully bring me more work to do.  Our weekend was nice with BYU winning on Saturday and mission and family on Sunday.  It was Zach's 13th birthday yesterday and the ward's primary program.  Kaitlyn and Aaron as well as Sharon and Johnny had parts in the program.  I told Colton afterwards that if he just taught was that program taught (he leaves for his mission in about 2 weeks) he would do well.  I still am feeling quite overwhelmed.  I know that sometimes I don't act like it.  (Richard just called -10:58-- and is on his way here.)  I don't always remember the tasks that I list in my head and go along as if I had nothing to do, but if I take the time I can always find (another phone call)  something more productive to do if I can find the energy to do it.  Here it is the 2nd week into September and I am barely hanging on as life whizzes by.  It is kind of a neat adventure because so many things are going well despite normal 'neg's that accompany each day.  Our mission has really changed our lives, but it sure feels right for us right now.  We just feel so overwhelmed, but we are making progress, although very slowly.  I can only imagine what it will be like after time and experience when we feel like we can actually handle what it requires of us.  I am beginning to really know more about this 'frail existence'.
