Yes, we had a polar vortex this past week, but it was very welcome. Our highs were only in the 60's a couple of days and in the 70's the rest of the week. It was heavenly! But the air conditioning in our office, particularly mine, has not been working well. Even with lower temperatures outside, my office was 80.9 degrees when I took a picture of the thermometer another office Elder bought just to prove how hot it gets. So I emailed a couple pictures to the president of the bank of my office temp showing over 80 degrees. We had asked others to look into it but got no response. So I decided to just go straight to the top.
Well he, the bank president, came into my office this week to see what the temperature was. He agreed that it was totally unacceptable and immediately left our office and then came back with one of the vice presidents and two maintenance guys. They checked the air flow and temperature coming out of numerous vents and left with a promise that an HVAC guy would come in this Monday to determine what the problem is.
I have been concerned that I just might melt and end up just being a grease-spot on my chair. Haha. All of that sweating hasn't done a thing; I'm still short and stout. One of my sons said that I should do some stretches in my office and call it hot yoga, haha.
We attended a zone training meeting this week that Claudia mentioned. The mission president asked the two of us to come up off the cuff and share some thoughts with the missionaries. He asked me to share some feelings about experiences I had as a stake president helping people to allow and to feel the healing balm of the Atonement in their lives. It brought back a flood of memories of many people I grew to love while helping them to work through the repentance process. The power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real and amazing as we allow it to work in our lives and help us to be whole again in so many ways.
We love the opportunity to attend these meetings just because it allows us to be around and to visit with the young missionaries. We love their enthusiasm and fire for life and their desire to be instruments in the hands of the Lord to bless the lives of others.
Help someone in your circle of influence feel the Savior's love this week through your love and example. Look for opportunities to be His hands in helping someone to know and feel His love. We love and miss you.

It's important to check out the HVAC units in the office. No one wants to be uncomfortable while working. These could lead to disgruntled people and reduced productivity, which wouldn't be good for anyone. The fact that your bank president agreed to the fact means he understands the effects of an uncomfortable workplace. I hope they got if fixed quickly! Take care!
