Preparing for Change and a New President ~ June 23, 2016

Hola everyone!

So this week has been pretty crazy busy with transfers again and all the new missionaries coming in and the missionaries finishing the mission as well. And well, now as you have all seen from the title... it's President and Sister Searle's last week here.... :( They leave this next Tuesday back to Burley, Idaho. And the new president, President Gallego will be here Tuesday as well to begin his work. We are all pretty sad here in the office. Today we had our last breakfast with President and Sister Searle and well we won't see them until Monday because they left for Santa Marta this afternoon and won't get back til then. We are all sad, and nervous, and anxious for the new president. But something that we are really trying to focus on is not comparing presidents. We need to welcome him with happy faces and the determination to keep working hard always.

So this week with transfers, my companion, Elder Muir, went to Cartagena to end his mission there in August. So I'm here now with the Housing Secretary, Elder Carreon from Mexico City, Mexico. He has a great sense of humor and is always telling jokes, and yet serious in the serious matters.

This week there have also been two missionaries that have gone home for health reasons... They're the first ones to have gone home in my time here in the office concerning health problems. There have been so many missionaries getting sick lately and well I'll just say they've all kept me very busy. A lot to do to help them get better and also to prepare for the new president and his wife. I'm not sure how it's going to be with the new president's wife because she isn't a pharmacist like Sister Searle. 

But oh well, hay que seguir! Hay que trabajar!

So yeah, I think that is practically all for this week. Until the next time!
¡Paz fuera!



Love,
