18 March

Last week Brekke joined us and this week Steven has joined us.  He is a retired teacher and principal.  I ended up working with him on his résumé.  He has a lot of good stuff and I hesitate to redo his résumé because he is a professional.  He has attended Elder Sidwell's Professional Career Workshop, so I figure he knows more about a professional résumé.  We'll see what Paul says about what we have created today.


Mission/Job
Sister Bell shared with me today how hard it is to leave a mission when you are finished.  They served in a mission office in Samoa.  She said it often felt like a "job."  When it came time to leave, she said it was very hard because she had formed attachments.  I hadn't shared with her my challenge at the employment center, but it was so reassuring to hear her say that their mission felt like a "job."  They also did the tourist thing during P day while they were on their mission.  I've struggle with that also:  Am I a missionary or a tourist?
