This week we have had a lot of work
here in the office as usual.
We had an internal audit this week
in our office. So that day the four office elders were stuck in the office. It
was mainly the financial secretary and my companion and I that had to stay
there. They were asking for receipts and records so we had to show them that
when we paid someone they actually received the money and that we have all the
proper documentations, so that was a big pain in the butt. Especially because
the Lady was just trying to chew us out all the time in the little things that
we didn't know we should be doing but that we should be doing. She is also
making it a little harder to process the money that we need for the down
payments and contract money to get the new apartments that we need to get for
all the new missionaries. So we have been waiting for the process for the money
to do contracts and then move all the things in the house.
On Friday the assistants had to go
to Montecristi to stay the night with the zone leaders for an exchange, but
they happened to take the house keys with them so we had no way of getting
in the house Friday night. So we tried to figure out where we could stay the
night and the only option was in the mission home. So that felt really weird to
have President waiting for us to get to the mission home. It felt like having
your parents waiting for you to get home. We got there and stayed the night in
the mission home which was really weird. I was really hot and ended up sweating
most of the night anyways. We left in the morning and went to the office. We
got a phone call from the assistants that they had gotten in an accident on
their way home. They were in our truck, and we were in theirs so that was
really sad for us. I had to go and help them out with all the forms and reports
and also getting them home because the truck doesn't run anymore. It was a
really tough situation for all of us, especially for the assistants, but
everyone is ok and things are being worked out. It just means a lot
more work for me to do now especially with all the new areas that we have
to open now with one truck less. We missed the first session of
conference but we are going to watch that tonight in the office. It was a
miracle with all the blessing of the Lord and how he protects his servants.
We just watched conference in the
office with the assistants, with the Latins in Spanish and Elder Wilkinson and
I watching it in English. It was so great, I have been spiritually recharged
and I have lots of thing that I have to do now. I really loved the analogy of
President Uchtdorf about how we are all toddlers learning. It really shows the
love of God, and with the Mormon message that I really like about Earthly
Fathers and Heavenly Fathers. The way that we can keep doing better and how we
really can learn to become like God. I also really enjoyed the talk for Elder
Holland about Faith and how we need to hold our the ground we have and to be
true to the faith that we have. All of it was great!
The Lord has really blessed me and
the people that I serve. It is so hard to describe the little thing everyday
that the Lord does, without you knowing the situations. He watches over his
children and blesses them everyday, we just have to be watchful and learn to
recognize his hand. I know he lives, and I love him with all my heart.
I love you all so much and I wish
the best for you all. Thank you all so much for your wonderful examples that
you give me.
