Busy days in the office - An India Wedding Reception

Our work load is over the top some of the days, lately. I, Elder Martin, work on the finances, renewing leases and more. In the last two weeks we have had what I call a tsunami of work. The service center has had me help pay many of their bills and other various tasks that I was told was never before asked of the Mission Finance person. After many long days and late nights, I think the tsunami has finally subsided. 

Sister Martin is the receptionist, helps all the foreign missionaries with their Visa registration, baptism records, arranging transportation for missionaries going to and from the airport and much more. Occasionally, such as this Monday p-day for the young missionaries, they come in to do emails home to their family, play basketball, etc.  


A few days ago we walked out the office door and the courtyard was transformed into an elaborate wedding reception. There was a decorated stage, and chairs filled with attendees and more people standing.

We left early but overall it was a very interesting and beautiful wedding reception, the likes of which we had never seen before.
