Hope
everything is going well in the States...This week has been really
crazy...Lots of things have happened...I will try to relate a few of
experiences...
The
First happened when I was in some companion exchanges with one of our
Missionary Secretaries in the Mission Offices....In this mission the
Missionary Secretaries work half of the day in the offices then leave
and the work the other half in their own area...They have so much
work...So I went with Elder Zerkle who is the Financial Secretary...It
was actually very interesting...I helped him Balance accounts and
organize receipts of the mission (the job for newbies like me) Never in
my life would i have thought that one missionary has so many
responsibilities to keep the mission on track it is literally
insane...Elder Zerkle was very patient with me guiding me along like an
actual job...What really impressed me was that right when we left the
offices he completely changed he left all of the office stuff in the
offices and he started talking about his investigators and everything
about his area...It was really cool to see a missionary that has a bunch
of work on his plate but is very efficient and effective and does
everything that he has to do...We had an excellent companion exchange...
An
Update on Daniel...This week he has improved a ton..he has accompanied
us many times this week and all of the members are getting to know him
and are helping him out...Our Recent Convert Eduardo has taught Daniel
and Us how to control ourselves through anxiety...and how to calm the
strong pulse of strong addictions...I have learned more about
pshychology in this week then i have in my whole life... We went
Saturday to go visit Daniel and his parents were there and they told us
that he had left...and they didnt know where he was at...that usually
means he isnt doing very good things or he gets tempted to do those
things...We were really scared...In that moment we offered a prayer with
the family to ask specifically that he would come back safe and
sound...literally 2 minutes later he walked in the door with a soda to
share (apparently he went to buy a soda to share)...It was absolutely a
miracle...
Another
experience that has been kind of funny these past couple of weeks is
that I am giving everyone hair cuts..haha I gave one to Daniel, My
Companion and 3 or 4 other missionaries in these past weeks haha it is
super funny and nice because I am getting more practice and I am getting
pretty dang good..It is actually a surprise...It might just be in my
blood...I see now why my Mom loves cutting hair...It is very
relaxing...haha I am getting better on covering the mistakes I make too
Heehee...
Thats all for this week
Thanks so much for your love and support...
Elder Child
All of us Visiting with Daniel!
