Hello Family!
Right so the subject heading, “Flexibility”. I’ll
have you know that I’ve been stretching ever night trying to touch my
toes. The news is that I can’t quite do it, but I’m close! This
near-feat however is not the purpose of my subject. The point is,
flexibility in planning is great!
This week was transfer week. Missionaries meet up in
various places of the mission to be transferred to a different area or get a
new companion. The old ones go home, and now ones arrive. Those
training new missionaries have a day of workshops in preparation. Plans
for the transfer are set and there’s sense of busyness to it all. To cut
the long story short, because of bad weather, we almost got to drive to Naga
(remember I used to be in that mission before it split) and then had to have
the new missionaries take a 12-hour van ride from Manila because there were no
flights. Threw off the schedule quite a bit, but it’s okay, we’re
flexible. It was nice having a little extra time in the middle of the
week. So many unanticipated things came up though. I’ll say that
starting Monday evening when we realized we had so much more to do
before the next morning until we finished everything Saturday morning, the
whole week really was quite a blur.
Aaaaand that’s the week! A blur! I wish all the
missionaries had the same vision. I really do. I love you
all! Thanks for all the support. It means a lot. It breaks
your heart to hear about how much some of these new missionaries have
sacrificed just to serve.
