Time flies when you're having fun!

I have actually been doing this for over a month now. WOW! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!

I've been assigned to work with our Stake (Arapahoe Colorado Stake). We have a high number of unemployed individuals who I hope to be able to help. I have to admit though that I believe the high number is due to the fact that our Stake is HUGE!

We have been able to make some progress. Some people have moved. Others are working...YEA! Even made some really good contacts for others!

We are making contacts with area agencies. Ajilon, Accountemps, etc. These people have jobs and need people. We have people who need jobs. What a PERFECT combination!
