Calgary is a large
[2.2 million people in the greater Calgary area] city and very culturally
diverse. The three main languages spoken here are English, Spanish, and
Mandarin [who would have thunk it], and then there is French. The people
are very friendly and helpful [which has been a big help to us].
We are only about 8
minutes away from the Canada Calgary Mission Office where we work. We
arrive every day at 8 am and work until 5 pm. Although the
work isn't hard, it is very tiring, especially since I haven't worked full time
for ten years and both of us are struggling to learn everything in a short
amount of time. It's going better every day though.
We work with another
senior couple who are from Centerville, Utah.
Elder Lawler is responsible
for all the cars/trucks used in the mission. He assigns cars to the
missionaries, then supervises maintenance and upkeep, tires, gas cards,
etc. Of course, there are accidents and traffic tickets, so when they
occur, he has to help resolve them with the authorities. Sister Lawler tracks
all medical services for the missionaries, orders all the missionary and office
supplies, and manages referrals. We enjoy working with them.
