Just to sum up this week, it was super stressful:
1.
Well this week was the first week of transfers so that meant that we had
a group come on into the mission and it was a super huge group. I will
just say like 15 new missionaries came on in. So that meant I had to
get a lot of bags ready and buying food for the new missionaries and the
trainings. aka a lot of running around.
2. So
my companion got his new replacement next transfer and is training him
right now. So that means that I am in a trio and Elder Dahl (Elder
Hidalgo's replacement) is going to be my new companion. Elder Dahl is
like super cool and he is from Oregon. He´s got 15 months in the
mission and he is super into computers. Like some of his projects right
now (besides his training) is to program something that will make his
job a lot easier. Super Bacanasaso!
Well let me
explain a little more in depth on the title. So a lot of things have
been going down since I came in here. Like no other Operations secretary
has done what I have done and I especially don´t like it. Like just to
be on the low side I think that I actually fired my first guy and also I
told off some missionary´s family because they were being super super
super rude with us (which wasn't missionary conduct. Don´t do that on
your mission. Trust me). But pretty much this week I was feeling pretty
bad about those last two things that happened. But I got the chance to
talk to President Amato about it and pretty much he told me that what I
did was rational. Now was there something else that I could have done to
make it better than it turned out to be? Obviously. But I think that
one thing that he told me was pretty much "Welcome to Life." So I feel
better about it and it just looks like I need to adapt to some stuff, which I am kinda excited to learn.
with tons of love,
Elder Garbett
