Sorry it's been a couple weeks. But not a ton has happened to be able to fill you in on. But the office has been super busy since it's Christmas time and the end of the year. In the past two weeks I had to send a group to do immigrations in Lima. Two different times President called me and said these missionaries need to go home tomorrow morning please make the arrangements necessary. Which includes trying to buy flights and cancel immigrations all before they have to leave the next day. Also we had the beloved week 6 (last week before changes) which is known as death week. Basically Saturday morning president showed me all of the changes and then Saturday night I had to call all 180ish missionaries and let them know about their changes and travel plans. Then Monday they did all of their traveling and luckily no one got lost but their were a few close calls 😌. Then early Tuesday morning the people finishing their missions went home and early Wednesday morning the new missionaries arrived and we spent the day giving their trainings.
It is now Saturday and I'm alive. I may have lost some hair and have good enough shadows under my eyes, that I got compared to Goob from Meet the Robinsons... but we made it... for now.
The past couple days I've been a little frustrated. Normally as missionaries we are always teaching, testifying and studying. Which means we almost always feel the spirit. But we haven't had time to proselyte in 3 weeks, I barely get my 2 chapters of the Book of Mormon reading in (I had to kiss goodbye to my goal of reading the entire standard works) and I haven't written in my journal in a little over two weeks which I've never let myself get behind more than 3 or 4 days. So it's been frustrating not having as many moments to feel the spirit as normal and also reading all of my friends' missionary emails about all of the success and miracles they are seeing hasn't helped. I feel like my progression is at a standstill and I don't know what to do.
But hopefully this week will be better and we will be able to make some visits, and do more to have the spirit in our lives. But don't worry about me. I'm just in a ranting mood right now. God has actually been so good to me and I've seen his hand a lot in the past few weeks. Anyway it's Christmas time now which is always a good reminder of what our real focus needs to be. Have a great week!
P.S. if you know any fire talks I should read let me know. Also if someone wants to watch Polar Express for me that would be gr8.
