Crazy week over! :D Yay!
Wow, so this week was really crazy. Like I said last time, we had the arrival of 17 new missionaries, leaving missionaries, tons of changes with this transfer, and leaders' council. I will inform you all that everything went very well this week. After not having much sleep from late nights and early mornings preparing everything this week we were all satisfied with the results. All of our preparations were able to be shown in action and the presentations for all the meetings turned out superb!
So here is how all the game plan went:
On Tuesday all the new missionaries arrived and went from the airport directly to the mission home. Elder Hansen and Elder Carreon went to pick up the missionaries to bring them in a bus. In the mission home President and Sister Gallego, the assistants, and I were all there to help the new missionaries learn a little about the Missionary Rules folder and stuff. President interviewed the missionaries, the assistants taught about the rules, and I talked to the missionaries about health stuff and had them sign a paper to give permission to President and Sister Gallego to all medical history and results and things. It all went smooth. While that was going on, Elder Pucha and Elder Salinas were at the stake center with all the missionaries getting ready to go home having their self sufficiency class. After the meeting in the mission home, all of the new missionaries, us secretaries, the assistants, and President's family went to Rodizios for lunch. That was delicious. :) I have been to Rodizios like 3 times more than I have before the mission! (Because I have gone 3 times here and 0 times before the mission haha). Then after that I helped all the new missionaries write an email to their families with the fotos we took in the mission home and Elder Hansen took all the Latins to migration to get their Colombian ID. That was practically Tuesday.
Wednesday. We got up early to go with President to the stake center to set up everything for more training with the new missionaries. In the training President and the assistants trained on a lot of things and we secretaries gave our presentation with some of the matters we cover in the mission. I talked about Health. :D That meeting went until the late afternoon. As well, all the zone leaders and sister leaders from the mission were there to see the training so that everyone would be on the "same page" with all the new changes in the mission. Oh yeah, side note, there are now 7 zones in all the mission when before there were 14. They are zones gigantes! It will be awesome.
Thursday. Leaders' Council. Another late night and early morning preparing everything in the stake center. The Council was super powerful! We talked about leadering in the Savior's way and in how to help all missionaries reach their potential. President showed us a clip from the movie Facing the Giants when the football player Brock has to carry another kid on his back while crawling across the field. At first he thinks he can only make it to the 30 yard line but the coach says until the 50 and blindfolds Brock. Brock collapses after a lot of effort and with the coach encouraging him all the way saying "Only your best! Give it only your best!" At the end Brock sees that he made it to the other touch zone. It was very inspiring and I think all of us cried. ¡Fue tan poderoso! (It was so powerful!) At the end of the council we secretaries gave our announcements. After the conference we the secretaries came to the office and rested a couple hours by command of President because we were all super tired.
There you have it. The plan. Which probably didn't make ANY sense but oh well. It all makes sense in my head haha. ;) It was a crazy week, but we all lived! We are still a little tired but we're ready to begin yet another week! Not so crazy this time.
Well that is all. I will be going now. ¡Ciaoito!
