Our trip to work

While we are here in Montreal we have several ways to get to work. We can always drive, but we are close, so we've tried some other options. First: We take the Metro. This is wonderful because we don't even have to walk outside! We just go downstairs to the main floor of our apartment building and we have an indoor walkway into the Metro. This is our building. We live on the 16th floor.

We take the escalators down:

Go through the turnstile entrance:

We put our cards down onto the electronic readers on top of the turnstiles for admittance:

Then we jump onto a Metro train, which come about every 3-5 minutes during the week. There are 4 different lines running through Montreal. Luckily when we get onto the Orange Line, we only have to go 2 stops and we are at the Laurier station. We get off and it is directly across the street from the Mission Office.

But here's a kick:  We aren't actually OLD enough to qualify for the senior discount cards!! Imagine that! The rest of the senior couples who are over 65 get a monthly unlimited pass for $45. If we had to buy the monthly unlimited pass it would be $75. each. So, it's really too expensive for us to ride the metro all the time. We decided that when the weather gets good enough we'll probably just walk.
(More on that in the next post!)
We go up to the 3rd floor and unlock the front doors about 8am each day.

My desk is on the right. The one with the big chart of our baptisms on it.

Roger has his desk in his office as Financial Secretary in charge of money and apartments.

We have a large supply room where we store all the office supplies and all the Missionary supplies like Books of Mormon, Bibles, Pamphlets, DVDs, etc.  Luckily for me - the other senior couple - Sister Levitre is in charge here.

We also have the President's office. I opened the transfer board so you could see part of the huge board that he uses when he does the transfers. Each missionary has a card with their picture on it. White are French missionaries, blue are Spanish, and yellow are sisters and couples.

We also have a huge conference room and a bathroom... When Elder Packer was here he told us we have one of the nicest mission offices he's seen. It is only 1 year old, so it's nice & new!
