Hey Merry Christmas a todos!
I obviously didn't have transfers and I won't for a little while. The thing is that they are very stressful here in the office.
As
President's secretary I am in charge of planning the whole 3 days of it.
We call it plan de ataque. I have to schedule all the interviews for
the missionaries that are going home and their flights and and all the
transports.
I have to schedule a lot of
transports for the new missionaries to go to all sorts of different
places. I was actually stressed for the first time in my whole mission.
The things I handle are very delicate and I knew that.
I knelt down before I left on Tuesday morning to do all these things and said a prayer and just thanked God for everything and begged him to just let things work.
As
we got to the airport we said goodbye to the old missionaries and
rushed to the entrance to greet the new ones. I had scheduled two buses
for the airport and knew they were coming. Then I saw some guy holding
up a little whiteboard with my name on it. It actually freaked me
out a little but it turned out that he had a taxi for two people.
My
stomach just dropped because there were 22 people and 40 bags that
needed to go to different places. It turned out that he was just to take
the assistants to the house with the bags.
Then
in the notary when I asked for everyone's passports one elder started
searching everywhere and he confessed that he had left it ON THE PLANE. I
did not freak out or anything I just said hold on a second everything
will be okay. I totally lied. I thought we were done for.
Luckily I made some calls and they had it there at the airport. Everything worked out alright there.
Later,
we had to take more people to the airport and the lady at the airport
would not accept the paper I had to pay for there bags. It had worked in
the morning but this time it didn't. I was freaking out.
We ended up paying for them with the mission card and it will just be reimbursed.
Then
as I was looking at the passports a sister from Mexico didn't have her
visa. Which meant that she had a very limited amount of time to legally
be in this country.
Turns out that they had just realized that and were taking care of it and sent me an electronic copy through email.
Then
we had to send them all off to their areas with their trainers. I had
not scheduled a transport. I didn't know we needed one. We just ended up
calling A LOT of taxis. Then everyone got out and everything was fine.
At the end of all the craziness I had just gotten home Wednesday night and was laying in my bed and it hit me.
There were problems but they were overcome. There were times I had to work more than I had planned but it worked out.
God
didn't make it easy but I didn't ask him to. I told him to allow
everything to work out and it did. I got down on my knees and thanked
him for everything.
It may not seem like he is helping out but he may just be requiring a little bit more faith.
Anyways, that was my update for now! I will see you guys tomorrow I think!
Love you all!!
Con amor,
