I really don't have a lot to say this week either, mainly
focusing on getting out fo the office when I can, and we found a couple of
Bolivians and a Colombian to teach. It'll be a little difficult this week
though since I have to deal with a lot of paperwork this week. Turns out that
our visa tracking system has been acting up lately, and I was the poor soul who
had to fix it all by myself without any real coaching from my predecessors.
But, I got it done. At the very least President was proud of me, so that makes
it all worth it. I think that maybe because I will need experiences like this
to teach my successor as well as I can.
I'm
expecting around 9 weeks to teach her and to guide her through a change and
whatnot, and then I'm outta here.
I had completely forgotten about MLK day until I couldn't do
some of my duties because the church offices were closed. But, I guess it was
nice.
Anyway, it's been a while since I really wrote about me, so
I'm gonna do that now.
I never fully explained what I do here in the mission
office, and that is to help in all of the legal paperwork in immigration for
the missionaries. You need to be legal to leave the country, so I allow people
to get home. Also, I do the flights and all the periphery things needing to be
done with the start and end of a mission. So, the majority of Secretary stress
comes from that, more than anything else I do.
This last week though, we received a pair of elder
missionaries, the Vests, who will eventually replace me in the work, and I will
go somewhere else to finish the mission. So, that'll be a lot of fun, I think.
They are great people from Payson Utah, and they are pretty funny people. A
little nervous with the start of their new callings, but I'm sure it will all
work itself out.
