Monster Week, is DONE!!

We call the first week of the transfer monster week because it's crazy.

We work all day everyday for the first week, helping with conferences, trainings, the new missionaries that come in, and all that other fun behind the scenes jazz.

It's fun, but only for a little while, then it gets stressfull. :)

I started this week off with a nice batch of chocolate chip pancakes, a classic plate from the Lewis house that I hadn't eaten in about a year. What a nice start to the week!

As I said, we have to help with all the new missionaries that come in. I had to make some cards to put in the Mission Presidents office of all the newbies. I was using the laminator to make the cards, and I put in a sheet, and the machine ate the sheet right up and didn't spit it out! So I put myself into Tech Mode and got some screwdrivers and went to work. Let's just say that after about and hour, lots of doubtful comments from the other missionaries, and some sweat and tears, I got the laminator fixed and is now running better than before! Lets just say, I'm a big deal around here.

As you might remember from a few weeks ago, I talked about a little girl named Camila that weve been teaching... The news is that, we lost her. She had a baptism date, was all ready to go, and was excited. We went to visit, and she was packing her suitcases to head out to live with her Dad. She'd been having some problems with her mom and decided to head out. We lost her like that. We passed the information on to the sisters in her area, and are hoping that she gets in contact with the missionaries. It was sad, but we did our work to plant the gospel seed in her heart.

Something I wanted to share with you guys was a scripture that I found about 2 weeks ago that always helps me when im doubting. Its Proverbs 3:5, and it says,

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart ; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

When things arent going how i want, or when things aren't going at all, I think of that scripture and it helps me remember that we don't need to rely on our own wisdom and timing, and when we don't know what to do, we can always rely on Christ.

He Knows everything that we pass through, and He understands all of our pains and problems, and He is always willing to help us out.
