On Mon Daniel had a job interview for a research assistant job with UBC that was in the dodgiest part of town. Think King's Cross in Sydney or Ogden in Utah (jk it didn't really remind him of Ogden). It was with a six-member panel and they gave him a seat at the head of the table, so he feels like they must have been impressed.

The missionaries also came over on Mon to share a message so Brianna was able to serve them some MANGO STICKY RICE which she MADE!

On Tue Brianna worked and then she and Dan went to the temple. Everyone there was very nice.

On Wed Dan went to a regional meeting for a behavioural interventionist company he's going to start doing some work for. They liked the way he spoke, and the next day he got an email from his Regional Manager that made reference to his 'English' accent. Brianna actually worked.

On Thu we were going to have some friends over for dinner and Brianna was really nervous for some reason but they didn't end up coming so it was ok.

On Fri and Sat Dan worked at a youth group home and had lots of fun. One of the children commented that Dan said "no" a lot. Dan pointed out that the child tended to ask the same question ten times in a row and so it seemed like a lot of "no"'s but was really only 2 or 3.

On Sun Bri and Dan both spoke in church and were glad when it was finished.

Two momentous things happened this week, which both merit some attention here. Overall we have been very happy and blessed while living here in Burnaby, but two things have cast a shadow over an otherwise blissful time; a broken oven element, and an inability of Dan's computer to connect to the internet. Over the past seven days our landlord bought a new element, and we worked out that Dan could access the internet through Brianna's phone.

We are now living in paradise.
