What spiritual thing happened this week? Well there are always many
stories but I always think about one thing it is amazing to see the small
miracles that happen everyday. President wants to do changes where the one
companion travels by himself so we tried it out. We had an elder come from Yojoa a far off
area, so he could pick up his new companion, we had told him to be in the
terminal at a certain time, he got there way early without a companion and well
it just so happened that the other mission was there looking for another elder
that never arrived. We ended up picking
up the elder for their mission, and they picked up the elder for our mission
and all was well in the end. God really does put the right people in the right
places in the correct time especially when it comes to his missionaries.
Did you have to go to the airport this week for any early flights?
Yes I went to the airport 3 times this week: One was this morning early because
we had to go and pick up a sister missionary from her area, we woke up at 3:30
and we got the airport at 4:20. The 2nd
time we went at 4, but it was just to drop off a missionary that would be going
to the MTC in Guatemala, he was from the district that President is over so we
were in charge. The 3rd was to drop off a missionary that finished his mission
and was going to New Zealand or Australia, I don't remember for sure where. What other countries do you have missionaries
from besides the U.S. and South America?
Just Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Do you interact with the East mission office elders? Yes we go talk with them a lot. Do you help each other with financial and
other problems? Have you met Sister
K. is she a nice lady? Yes I have met
Sister K.; sometimes we help each other out.
I have had to pay for some of their things and they had to pay our
mission back.
Has your companion’s replacement been sent to the mission home to
learn what his job is? In like 5 weeks my companion’s trainee will get here.
Did you teach any discussions to the doctor or the atheist this
week, and if so how did they go? No we didn't we had appointments with them;
they never answered their phones making it impossible to find them to teach
them. But hopefully next week we will be able to get back in contact with them.
What did you do for p-day? We went to the airport and my companion
slept forever, when we got back we ate at Popeye’s and then we walked around in
the mall. Next week we will go shopping
with the AP that will finish his mission.
So is the new AP in the office already?
No he wont come until next weekend.
How is your health? It is good. I haven't had any problems but many
of the other missionaries have been getting sick lately with all sorts of weird
things. What kind of sicknesses are the
missionaries coming down with? Do you finally have a mission nurse? Yes we have a mission nurse, they are getting
weird stomach bacteria, sica and chickengunya, all of that good stuff. Do you see lots of mosquitos in the
city? I don’t see many.
Do you have a funny or interesting story from this week? I don't
remember than any funny things passed by this week it was normal. I just had to take a phone call that want
that pleasant, I think the guy is going to rob us 2800 HNL deposit because he
stole my only leverage, the keys to the house out of the hands of the
missionaries. Nothing was in the house;
we had moved them out last week. He was just going through to see what we
needed to fix and he was really rude and pushed a missionary and grabbed the
keys and refused to get them back. First
he said he has to do some touch up painting, we painted the house to start
off. Second there are 2 tiles that are
broken, well that's because they are all loose. He has really been a bad
landlord. Stealing light, had years of water debt and the bank wanted to
repossess the house.
Has the weather been wet with El Niño? No, it hasn’t rained once and is really
hot. It should be rainy right now but
its not.
What else are you working on today?
Well today I am figuring out how much money and how I should help the
missionaries that haven’t paid their lights or water bills and are a month or
more behind. Do they have to pay the
lights from their own money? From the
money they receive on their cards, but we just changed it, and now the mission
pays up to 300, or 600 if there is 2 companionships in a house. I made this change that we will be paying up
to 300 per companionship a week ago, so we are just getting everything back on
track so in the future there wont be any excuses. The missionaries have to pay the bill then
send me the receipts to pay them back.
Well my time is up. Have a
good week. Love you all. I will try and
take some pictures.
