My Family!
Can I just say, I am so tired! That's
pretty much the description of my week. Buuuut I'll expound on that a
bit.
This week was new missionary/ trainers workshop,
Mission-wide Christmas Conference, transfer planning, travel plans, planning
for trainer's training and a lot more.... Can I just say, I thought all
this stuff just magically happened! But I guess there's someone
who actually has to sit down and put it all together... That's us... Hah,
Christmas Conference was the biggest thing of the week. We had to plan
the whole thing for 180 of us to all be together at one conference. This
probably would be easier if missionaries had cars and other useful things like
that (they don't). President described it as a "logistical
nightmare." ...it was! Haha although everyone else was enjoying the
Christmas Spirit, it had Elder Madsen and I saying "Bah humbug" as we
had to plan the whole thing (referring to Scrooge in The Christmas Carol.
It ended up going well though and we were able to sit down and enjoy a
little bit of the actual conference (:
Playing into the same topic is how late we've
had to stay at the office doing stuff... hah it's so ridiculous. Luckily
though, after two weeks of being here, yesterday we finally got to go out and
teach! ...two lessons in two weeks! We must be the best elders in
the whole church! It's fine though, probably in like two weeks things
will maybe settle down a little.
Saddest part of the week was saying goodbye to
Elder Bangal. He was the lead of our little two-week-tri-some we had
going on in the office. He left on Saturday and we got to take him and
all the other departures to the airport. Hah Madsen and I realized we
were in trouble when we got back to the office and had to start planning some
stuff. Pretty much, we're both new here and don't really know what we're
doing. Same with the proselyting area! He's only got three weeks on
me and he was only able to go to church two times here and teach like six
lessons before I got here so we're basically starting anew. It's going to
be a fun time! (:
Have a great Christmas! I'm excited to
skype home on Christmas Day!
Love you! Elder Shane Brown

those awesome 3D glasses kind of things that make light look like snowmen or Christmas trees or whatever the glasses have on them. Pretty fun.
