It
has just been one of those weeks, let me tell you.....
Monday morning the mission sent 2 men to build a small shed for our generator,
I told them to mind the garden. When we got home a found they had just trampled
through it like horses. I got a bit angry with them and had them fix the plants
they smashed. They worked on the shed 2 more days and have not since returned
to finish it or retrieve their tools. And the generator sits exposed to the
beating of the sun and rains.
Tuesday was the last District Meeting we had together and I decided to talk
about and share Hugh B Brown’s story of the currant bush. We then took pictures
as a District and went to work. That afternoon my companion and I had a memorable
encounter with a drunk man. He was one of the craziest I have met on mission so
far. We were trying to start a lesson and he kept calling my companion and
would repeat his name over and over. Getting annoyed I started asking his name
which he would repeat again and again. I probably heard it over 60 times but I
have forgotten it already.
Wednesday we got our monthly substance from the bank and just taught the rest
of the day.
Thursday- Had Zone conference at the Belliar Park (mission HQ) President and Sister
Ostler were there and we sat through 4hrs of the leaders talking about teaching
families. I realize its importance more than I ever have. They did give us
hamburgers and fries for lunch so that was fun too :)
Friday and Saturday I got sick and and by Sunday it started to feel a bit like
malaria. Luckily we have a wonderful mission nurse and I have been down that
road before. Today I have a small fever and am tired but doing a lot better.
Friday night was a busy time because it was transfer news. Our apartment
changes were, Elder Hofman was room transferred to the other area here and is
now DL and I was called as a Trainer. This will be my 4th time of training - I don't
feel all that confident to train in this mission as I am still fresh as well.
The area is good though so with some faith it should work out ok. I’ll miss
Elder Hofman, I enjoyed being his companion, we've enjoyed some good times
together.
I was sorry to hear about Joseph, I hope to hear from him soon. It was nice to
hear the mention of the Manti Pageant, can't wait to see that again one day.
Sorry for the unexciting letter this week, sickness doesn't write fun or adventurous
memories. Next week should be better. Thanks to everyone though for the love
and support.
Love,
Elder Ray
PS still no packages at all, don't know
what to do because I haven't had this problem on mission before. Anyway you
guys could track it?
