Primary and Secondary Assignments!


As Temple Missionaries, our assignment is to work four 7-hour days a week at the temple, use Mondays for preparation, and Sundays for church attendance.  The one day left in the week is considered an 'Other Assignment' day.

We have PRIMARY and SECONDARY 'Other Assignments'.

PRIMARY 'OTHER ASSIGNMENTS' include:
1.  Serving in the temple on holidays and on other busy days when large groups are in the temple.
2.  Studying in the temple, ordinances in one's own native language and perhaps another language, if they desire.
3.  Compensatory time off for personal needs, when the temple is open on a Monday.
4.  Doing missionary work.
5.  Illness or fatigue.
6.  If there is a 'holiday' during the week when the temple is closed, OAD becomes that holiday for all missionaries.
7.  Serve in branches in the International District in various capacities according to the instruction of the local leaders.

Then there are SECONDARY 'OTHER ASSIGNMENTS'.

President Wong has just given us our first Secondary 'Other Assignment'.
We are to update contacted information of temple missionaries and their birthdays.  This was previously Elder and Sister Wilson's responsibility, and they have sent us a link to a great e-card site.  This will make it possible to send a nice birthday greeting to our fellow missionaries, in a convenient and cost-free way.
We expect this assignment will not be too difficult.
