10 February -- Snow, snow, everywhere + Stake assignment

It started snowing again Friday night and has been snowing off and on ever since.  Luckily the flakes are tiny, little specks.  The roads have been wet, but not snow piled until last night.  The downside of wet roads is they are okay to drive on during the day, but turn to ice at night. 

Thursday we received an additional assignment at the Employment Center.  All the service missionaries have a Stake list of people who have registered on LDSjobs they contact every month.  We have now been given a Stake to contact besides working with the AJS candidates.  Sister Bews has the Richmond Stake and I have the Providence YSA Stake.  There are 119 people on my list.  Besides calling people on my stake list, I call or email the Bishop or representative he has designated every week on the progress of the AJS candidate from their ward.

In our new assignment, we are to contact the Stake Employment Specialist monthly to assist him or her and coordinate our efforts.  We then call each of the people on our list to see how their job search is going.  We share information of what is available to them at the Employment Center and any leads we have that may fit their job search.  If individuals do not want to be contacted by Employment Missionaries there is a place on the site where they can mark do not contact.  It doesn't affect their access to the site.  The Employment Missionaries are not proselyting missionaries.  Our sole responsibility is to assist people in finding employment.
