Hey!
Wow sounds like everyone had way cool weeks this week! I'm
glad you are all having fun and being awesome!
This week has been way super busy, but way good at the same
time. We had transfers this week...and guess who is training the new financial
secretary!!! So this should be my last transfer in the office, I'll be out of
here as soon as Elder Trelease more or less knows what he's doing in here. This
transfer ends the week before Christmas, so that should be when I leave, unless
something weird happens.
But yeah this week has been way crazy. I think getting to
see how my new comp and how the new secretary have responded to being in the
office the last couple days, its showed the rest of the office staff really
just how much we've adjusted to being here and how different it is from the
field. Its been a mentally exhausting week for all of us, but the 2 new office elders
are just dead after these couple days. But we managed to get it all done!! Last
night we were still making phone calls at like 11pm and we had to wake up today
at 5:30 trying to make sure everything went smoothly for the meeting. Haha
needless to say, when we were finally the only missionaries left at the chapel
after the meeting, we all just felt a big load get taken off of our shoulders.
But it amazes us how much the President must trust us. He left us completely in
charge of getting all 250 missionaries to the meeting from all 3 provinces of
the mission, renting 3 double-decker buses, renting 2 hotels, and buying like
$5,000 USD worth of food for all the stuff that happened. But hey, it all got
done! And the meeting today was a great way to cap off the week! Elder
Christofferson was way funny and it was way good. His spanish is amazing!
Francisco is still doing good. And we have an appointment
tonight with a guy named Mario who is kind of a miracle reference. Long story
short, one of the sister missionaries met him like 11 months ago in a different
province and just found out that he lives in our area. So she set up an
appointment for us to meet him tonight at the church, so hopefully that goes
well!
So verse of the week comes from John 8:29. Its pretty
self-explanatory, but it came up like 5 times in our meeting today with Elder
Christofferson, and I like the self-applications we can make. Could you imagine
if we could honestly say of ourselves what Christ said of Himself in that
verse?
Anyway, I hope you have a great week!
Elder Webster
I love the promise in the scripture. He sounds good.
