Wow this has been a stressful week... Everything
that could go wrong this week did go wrong but, after a lot of panicking and
stressful nights, yesterday everything unfolded well. Due to all the things
that happened this week we have had only one day to go and work out in the
field but that one day we were blessed with a lot of success.
First off the stress, I was so stressed out this
week. To start the week off the bank blocked the mission card that I use.
Apparently we need to zero out the mission cards once a year (I had no idea)
and because we hadn't zeroed out the mission card they blocked mine, told me to
fix it and they would unblock it and then also told me that I needed to do the
same with President’s card or this next week they would block his also. Of
course this happened the week that President has been out doing interviews with
all the far away zones (Atlacomulco, Zitacuaro, Toluca, and Metepec) He has been
staying in a hotel with his card and all the cash he should have from the
mission card, which means I wasn't able to do anything until he came back last
night. Secondly we have had a TON of sick missionaries who have needed money
and other such things. One of these missionaries was new and her medical card
was still here in the offices. This meant that my companion and I had to take
her medical card out to her in Metepec (it was a 6-7 hour round trip due to
traffic) and took away a lot of time we need to be working on things here in
the offices. Lastly, this week was the week to send all of the spending money,
transportation money, rent money, and reimbursement money to all of the
missionaries. After I send the money to all of the missionaries President has
to approve it and once he approves it the money is sent to the card within 2-3
business days. The money is supposed to be in every missionaries card by Friday,
but due to President being so busy he wasn't able to approve them till 11pm
Wednesday Night. During all of this mayhem my companion and I were asked to
each give a 25 min talk this Sunday in the English ward that I have been
working on. Luckily all turned out well, I am almost done with my talk, all the
money went through yesterday, After a long night yesterday I got everything
figured out with my mission card and President’s mission card and everything is
starting to calm down.
The one day we did have time to leave we were
able to find 6 new investigators and commit 7 people to come to church. We are
hoping and praying that everything turns out well this Sunday and that we start
having some success again. My companion will be having his birthday tomorrow
and President has told him that he is going to be going back into the field
this next change after training his replacement.
Well I know this was yet again another boring
letter, we didn’t do anything but relax today for P-day and the rest of the
time was either spent here in the offices crunching numbers or sleeping on a
super long bus ride... haha but I can now say that I understand the saying,
"It was a late night in the office". Have a great week! I love and
miss you all!
Love,
Elder Adams
