Well that was a lot of interesting news I appreciate it. I
will have to admit I miss watching the World Cup. I could do without the NBA
Finals and the World Series but I had started to appreciate watching soccer
before I left. It's nice to stay updated. Go Brazil.
This week was not the most
productive week for missionary work. We failed to get anyone to church but we
finally have an appointment with a women with 6 kids today who wants to come to
church. So that is good. This is our mission president's final week in the
mission. He is greatly loved here and is a great man. He will be missed but it
is somewhat exciting for a new change and that comes on the
26th.
President Blatter is the new man in charge for the mission. As a
farewell gift to the mission our president bought the entire mission lunch on
different days. Our zone went out to eat Saturday for lunch at Round Table. ( a
pizza spot). Not a small ticket to pay with 220 missionaries (different days
for each zone) He is quite a wealthy man as is our new Mission President
who works in Private wealth management at Goldman Sachs. It was a lot of fun
and we got to watch the world cup for like 15 minutes in Round Table as we
waited for him.
And yes missionaries love to compare missions to
"life". You are "born" and trained by your "dad"
(trainer) and you die at the end of your mission. We have a large group of
missionaries going home this transfer and a large number coming in. This is the
transfer after school has ended so it is usually the biggest. We usually get
around 8-10 missionaries a transfer and this July we are getting 24. This will
most likely be my last transfer in Brownsville so we will see where P. Blatter
send me. Hopefully Tacoma.
I am turning in 50$ of change I have saved up today.
I also have acquired three bikes from old missionaries (for free) that are going home and
plan on selling them for around 30$ to a pawn shop that a guy in our ward owns.
Its nice I do not need a bike because of being a visa waiter I have an excuse
not to buy one. If you ever see on Facebook any three of those departing
missionaries (Krista Erin Clayton) email addresses you should send them to me
via email. That is all. Enjoy the week. Thanks for the pics in the email and in
the mail. I will look today in the mail for the photos.
