However,
this has truly been an incredible week. I am amazed at how much I learned and
changed in a week. It is a very great change in lifestyle being changed in such
a dramastic way. To be honest...I can’t explain a lot of it.
On
Tuesday we went to the first District Meeting where I had to give a training
segment to everyone, and get to know all the elders in my zone. Sooooo crazy. I
am just in over my head like I said.
We
have had to work like crazy in our area to get stuff done, so every day we have
gone on divisions to teach as many people as possible and try and place as many
baptismal fechas as possible. We have been a little low in our area/zone, and
so we have to pick things up.
On
Thursday we had leadership meeting, and we were thrown a curve ball. Because of
the great influx of sisters coming into the mission field, they have placed
many sisters in leadership positions in missions all over the world. They are
something like assistants to the president, but only over the hermanas. It was
just super interesting to see sisters there and to get chewed out by them for
some things that we aren’t doing. Sad day. But! We heard a ton of amazing
points and even got to hear from the local Area Seventy, Elder Ocampo. Soooo
cool.
On
Friday, our Zone had interviews. Again. Well...last time in April I was still
in La Lima...but yeah. Pretty funny. So we had to go back to San Pedro Sula for
that, but this time my interview was waaaaay different. And turns out we were
the last zone to have interviews with Pres. Veirs ever. That is really sad. I
will miss him a lot. And after the interviews, I brought a change of clothes
and headed to Tela, a super cool touristic area on the beach to do divisions
with one of the DLs, Elder Ward. I couldn’t take any pictures, because we got
there late and had to get out to work...but it was really cool. Guess I shall
just have to go another day!
So
yes, that was just an overview of the week, and I apologize for not having more
time. Love you all! Keep praying for me, I need it!
Vaya Pues!
