It was crazy. From Monday to Thursday, we basically just drove nonstop. Picking up missionaries from airports, dropping them off at various apartments, picking them up from the church, dropping them off in their areas. We drove more than 700 kilometers in three days. And come to think of it, I really have no clue how much that really is, but it seemed like a lot.
But! While all that was happening, we managed to get some other good stuff in. Thursday, we got to teach Karine with Sister Afoy. Basically, we say the prayer, "amen", heads go up, and then Sister Afoy turns to her and says "So Karine, when are you getting baptized?".
So she decided on the third of May. Which is this Saturday. We're going to have a soirée familiale family night with them tonight. We're excited!!!
So during zone conference, I kept on having to get up and leave the room every five minutes to go find something or fix something or talk to someone, and then I translated for the second half, which made it a little harder than usual to get good notes. But one big doctrinal takeaway came from a little lesson that we had on Justice and Mercy. There was this sixty second video that President showed us-not a church produced thing, that was about speeding. Two Australian guys that get in a car crash, but right before the collision, time stops and they have the chance to have a short conversation together. It was chilling, but also interesting to learn gospel principles from something like that.
My interviews with President have gotten more business-y. Basically, we started with a prayer, he told me everyone's transfer, asked me my opinion on some transfer related things, asked if there was anything else we needed to talk about, and then we finished with a prayer. But hey, it was cool!
So yeah. I'll tell you all about that next week.
Keep praying!
Love,
