10/16/17 Five weeks into our 10-week
assignment! We’re enjoying our jobs, keeping busy, and are very comfortable in
our nice apartment in the “Pink Palace” in the charming 1500-resident village of
Büsingen, Germany, on the Rhine River!
We’re here to work, even though it’s not
what we’re posting on Facebook since photos of us at computers isn’t nearly as
interesting. Except for one, the missionary staff is completely different from
our last time here. The local staff people are the same. Dan has a long list of
IT related tasks; addressing needs, investigating ‘things’ that don’t work, upgrades
and improvement even before people bring him their laptops with questions.
So far, I’ve worked with the regional
personnel coordinator, emailed the regional missionaries and updated spreadsheets
with their current information, helped the finance guys with a couple of small
projects, and inventoried the storage area (next, reorganizing and labeling!).
I enjoy all the projects I get, usually connecting with lots of people and
doing things I enjoy!
