no
time
Sept. 28, 2015
Well sorry all of you this week; I have no time to write. The picture is
one Sister Thurgood recently took of us here in the mission home writing to our
families for a few minutes. Emergency transfers planning sessions and a few
other things kind of threw this day out of wack, we haven't even bought
groceries yet! I'm doing well and I love all of you very much. Have a fantastic
week and may the Lord be with you!
love,
Elder Benjamin Andrew

transfers
Sept. 21, 2015Well it feels good to be finishing this day and it wasn't too bad because all the elders and sister were gone by 5 o'clock. There were only 8 of them so not too much. Tomorrow we receive 21 new missionaries though! That is going to be an exciting day! Alright here is my week.
Monday- We worked on transfers at night with
President, it is like putting together a puzzle. It is pretty fun and
interesting.
Tuesday- We had district meeting (it was Mexican
Independence Day). Then, we did some things like pay rent and get some x rays
from the hospital for an elder. Then, we did some visits and contacted some
references. Then, an elder that has a hernia was in the hospital getting the
results of an ultra sound and him and his companion stayed the night in our
pench (apartment) so that was kind of fun. (We do go to the hospital if there
is something serious most of the time. That is something I don't like about
this job, it just brings back bad memories)
Wednesday- We "finished" transfers
and did some planning with President and then went to the offices to get
everything ready for the transfer and have a meeting about the taxis that we
use that day. After the meeting we stayed in the offices and did some more
things. Then, at night, I drove home and I actually did it pretty smooth with
the manual! I'm thinking about getting one when I get home because it is pretty
entertaining and then I won't have to lend it to anyone else cause they won't
be able to drive it haha!!
Thursday- We did weekly
planning and went out to work. Then we got food for the elders and sister that
are leaving because they had a capital tour and an auto-sufficiency class. After,
we went out and worked some more and contacted a really nice lady that said she
went to church when she was a little girl, so we have hope that she will be a
good investigator with her family.
Friday- We worked in the
morning and then got food for the leaving missionaries for after their temple
trip. Then we went out with a member but the visit we had planned fell
through.... oh well. At night we had an awesome visit with an active young
family that the brother took us to Paula's house in his car and we picked up Paula
and her daughter, Maria, and then went back to their house to have a lesson. We
had told them what we were going to teach, assigned them a part and told them
to please look over the lesson in preach my gospel beforehand. When we got to
the house they had pictures to teach with on the table and were super prepared
for the lesson. The truth is it went really well and was very spiritual. I
testify of the power of working with members so work with them missionaries!
Well, that's my time this week. I guess Saturday and Sunday will just
remain a mystery!
I love you all very much and hope you have a
wonderful week,
Elder Andrew
