CAF Office moved

This week we have been busy trying to organize information and identify the actual numbers for CAF. How many volunteers went on expeditions in 2010? How much in supplies went to various project? What were the expenses of each project? How many people were impacted by the service? We are trying to apply for grants and we need all those figures. You can imagine that the information is VERY hard to identify. Most of the time it is not documented. But we are trying to get a handle on it.
Also, the day came when Dad had to move the CAF office out of the Costa Vida building to another location. Brett was sooooo generous to let us use that area for nothing. Now we have to pay $200/mth. We are in the same area but in a different building. On Thursday we moved the desk and file cabinet and other stuff he had. On Friday we brought some chairs and another file drawer from the warehouse. We hope to have things in place tomorrow. It is a nice place and I think it will work out all right.
An advisory counsel member brought a huge load of wood to the warehouse on Thursday so that we can build shelving and try to organize that place. There are lots of things in there that we have no idea what they are used for. We need a doctor to work with us for a while as we organize so we know what we can use and what needs to be trashed.
Gordon sent a load of dental chairs to Los Angles yesterday. They were very nice and were donated by a dentist in Lander, Wy. They have been bought by a dealer in LA who will pay cash and give us 4 older dental chairs to try to sell. We are sending them to TJ.
So we are SOOO excited to here that Tijuana will be getting their own temple!!!! I think it will mean so much to the saints there. I think the church there will feel like it has come of age. Maybe that will help in the work against Satan that is so prevalent in that area.
A busy week behind....a busy week ahead.
Forgot to mention...our Jewish friend, Jael Cohan returned to Israel today.

I wish we had kept track how many locations dad has had offices. I think it is over 30.
