I was going to write about my week and the truth is that in these days I have been having a really hard time on my mission!! My companion and I don't talk at all unless it is related to work, he has no interest in talking to me, so that makes it really hard for me. I have been with him for 6 months now too. I know I am doing what the Lord commanded though and that is what keeps me going strong! I am working my hardest and doing my best!!! Tomorrow I will know where my last sector will be (stay here or be changed) because it is my last change before I go home in 6 WEEKS! That's crazy. I am sooo excited, but also bummed to lose my nametag.
Also, out of all of the days I wanted some time to write today the President did an inspection of our house and it took away a lot of our writing time, so now I only have about 10 minutes to write. Oh well, I will write more next week!!!
Love,
Christian
I got some letters in the mail this week and here are a couple parts:
9-12-14
Good Morning! I am starting to actually feel like I have a
long time in the mission. Everyone is
asking me how much time I have and in the mission we have a rule that you can
only say “a little more/less than a year.”
So I always say “a little more than a year,” then my companion says 22
months and everyone goes crazy saying how little time I have left to
serve. The truth is that I really want
to go home to see you and be a cowboy again and stuff but the funny thing is
that even though I want that, everytime I imagine not having a nametag I start
to cry. I know that the name tag has no
power or anything like that, but it is something pretty amazing to have the
name of the savior of the world and all mankind stuck to your chest, knowing
that you represent him. But at the same
time I plan on still serving when I get home and doing missions later in life
too. I know you can still help people
come to Christ all the time, even without a nametag. Sorry the missionary part of me had to come
out in that paragraph!! (:
9-14-14 Week:
Sunday: We had a normal Sunday at church then after church
we went to the President’s house for dinner and then were there until 11:45
calling out changes and then the President wanted to say Goodbye to Elder Hess
who was leaving the offices to work in another sector after serving in the
offices for 8 months. When the President
came to our house he was shocked to see how messy it was he said and he had to
give us a talk. I am not the cleanest,
but the kitchen which is my part wasn’t THAT bad so I didn’t feel too bad (:
Monday: Well it started out normal but at night we had the
going away dinner. There were 6 that
went home which was kind of sad because one is an ex assistant who was super
good. We always serve the food to those
wo leave which I always like to do. That
finished at about 10:00 and then at about 1 in the morning the bus came to pick
them up.
Tuesday: At 7:30 we were in the hosue of the President to go
to the airport to pick up the new missionaries.
There were 23 of them, which is a TON! 10 of them were from the states!
