So this week was a pretty normal week in the office (which is still pretty crazy):
1. So we received a good amount of
new missionaries from the CCM this last Tuesday after sending off a really good
group back home. It was kinda sad to see some of those missionaries go because
of all of the good times that we have had together being leaders and everything
but this new group that came in is going to be a really good group.
2. So this last Sunday Elder
Stoliker wanted to do some sort of musical number during sacrament meeting and
so on Saturday night he confirms the thing and we have literally nothing
planned besides that we are going to sing something. So he decides that we
should do something with Hark the Herald angels sing. And with all of our
musical knowledge we come up with something on the spot. Apparently it turned
out really good and everybody loved it. I am going to send the video we took
afterwards. I hope that you guys love it.
3. So yesterday was pretty hectic.
So being the operations secretary I am in charge of all of the packages that
come in and out. So that means that I have to go and pick up the really big
packages from the office. Being the week before Christmas I decided to save
everything until yesterday to go and pick up so that I can pick up the majority
of the packages that are coming in before Christmas. I show up there thinking
that I am going to end up picking up like 5 packages that are a pretty good
size. Turns out that I was picking up 8 packages that were bigger than normal.
It must have been pretty weird to see two gringos walking out of a mailing
office with some packages that are probably double their size.
So, for being a pretty hectic week I
am very surprised that I got some study time in. And being the Christmas season
I decided to study about the life of Jesus Christ. And during this time I
watched all of the Bible videos from the birth of him to when he was crucified.
In all of these videos there was one in particular that caught my attention.
The title of it is "To this end was I born." Truly he did come to
save his people. During his entire mortal ministry He took no thought of
himself. He came to teach us, to guide us, to love us, to die for us. This week
we have the opportunity to remember the time he came to begin his mortal
ministry. Let us remember him this Christmas and to celebrate the time that he
came to end up doing all that he did so that we may not be lost.
Merry Christmas!
