New Home

The top 3 windows belong to my unit.

I found a nice apartment in Providence, Utah.  Providence is right next door to Logan, like Dublin and Pleasanton.  Sister Conger had compiled a list of half a dozen places for me to look at.  We checked them out Friday afternoon and Saturday morning; by Saturday afternoon I had narrowed it down to two.  I think what ended up deciding me on the Deer Creek Apartments is they said they cleaned up the snow the day it fell, internet and local phone service is included, and a handyman is available 24/7.


I spent the past week setting up the apartment.  Thursday I physically moved into the apartment.  It is so nice to be unpacked!  The Mission has provided some nice furniture.  The mattresses are new.  Members at the Employment Resource Center (ERC) and in my new ward have brought over a variety of other items to help me set up my apartment.  I've received pots and pans, dishes, silverware, towels, etc.  I have been blessed with their kindness. 

Bedroom.  New mattressess--no bed bugs :-)

Good size kitchen.

Dinning room.  Washer and dryer are behind the double doors.

 I spent Wednesday and Friday in the ERC.  It is staffed with part-time Missionaries from the stakes in the Mission.  Most work two days a week in the center and some work at other centers that are under the direction of our office.  The Missionaries lead the classes that are offered at the center.  Besides the Career Workshops, they also offer Self-Employment Workshops, Networking, Professional Career Workshops, and a Scholarship workshop.  (Utah State University is located in Logan.)  I get to become familiar with all these workshops.  My responsibility will be working in the Accelerated Job Search (AJS) program.  I will work one-on-one with some candidates on their job search.  It is more of a mentorship.
