T-minus 2 days until takeoff! I'm so excited! I have
officially packed up all of my things from the office and Elder Winders
is all ready to fly solo!
I'm not sure if I have mentioned
this before... but President Hayes is sick. Well, actually he got sick
about a year ago and just didn't tell anybody about it. Two weeks ago it
started to get pretty serious and he decided to go to a local clinic to
see what was wrong with him. They couldn't find anything out, so Salt
Lake told him he had to go to Utah for testing. Now we have a subsitute
president, his name is President Arredondo. He served as a mission
president in the Nicaragua North mission. I've been able to work with
him a little bit when he has come into the office and he is a really
nice guy. He really wants to help the mission. This week we had a
mission conference where President talked to us about the importance of
baptizing and gave us a lot of ideas on how to baptize more. I think it
was exactly what the mission needed to hear. Everything happens for a
reason, and maybe he was supposed to come here to share this message.
This
week I have mostly been reviewing all of the office work with Elder
Winders and have spent a lot of time finding news. We actually have had a
lot of luck finding this week and I'm really excited for what is going
to happen in this area after I leave. I have also been saying goodbye to
a lot of the members around here, and it has actually been pretty hard.
I have become pretty good friends with the members here and I'm going to
miss them a lot!
That pretty much sums up my week here... I
really am grateful for the opportunity that I have had to serve here in
the office. I have learned a lot, but I am so ready to move on!
Sorry,
I have been so bad with pictures over these last couple of months...
here is one of me playing the bagpipes to make up for it!
