Day to Day Work in Saipan

While there are always many tasks to do, we strive to keep our focus on conducting Bible studies.  A typical day will include several hours in the office in the morning.  This time is reserved for studying, writing the newsletter, planning and making arrangements for off-island trips, recordkeeping, printing, etc.  The afternoons and evenings are when we make appointments for Bible studies.  We work to keep many studies going at a time.  Consequently, we try to schedule these back to back to save time in driving.  Many of the people work during the day, and we have to schedule them at night.  Those who are available during the day are set up in the afternoons.  Usually someone will call asking for a ride to a doctor's appointment, or to the housing office, and if we are able to with that day's schedule, we accommodate them.

There are a wide variety of tasks in mission work.  Every day is different than the one before.  At the time of this writing, for example, my things-to-do list includes the things listed below.  Each day, we'll work on as many of these as we can.
