This was an awesome week! President and Sister Rasmussen
came and have been in the mission for a whole week now. We've been able to
interact with them a ton. I think when I sent my last email they were on their
way to the mission office. We met them there will all the senior couples and
they had a little meeting. It was pretty quick, but they bore their testimonies
and did a little introduction of themselves. After that Elder Ward and I
started to help them set up their mission phones, laptop, and iPad. Some stuff
we couldn't do so we said we would come back later and do it.
The next day was MLC so all the Zone Leaders and STLs got together
to meet Pres. and Sis Rasmussen. It was super good, they have so much faith and
are soooo excited to be here. Pres Rasmussen is for sure a spiritual giant and
told us some craaaazy stories about promptings he has had as a bishop and stake
president. He makes a lot of funny noises when he talks to haha. He will just
stop in his sentence and say 'Waah' or 'Mmmmh' and hold up his arms. idk how to
describe it but it's hilarious. Also he says 'holy Hannah!' a lot. After that
meeting we went to the mission home for like 4 hours and set up the rest of
their stuff.
The next day we had Zone Conference which was also super
good. We got to hear President introduce himself 3 times in three days but he
changed it up a bit so that was good. They have a lot of good plans for the
mission.
We had the 4th of course and it was alright haha. We are
told that holidays are a great time to find people since people are with their
families, but every major holiday since I have been a missionary have been
soooo slow. Like seriously people just disappear, we hardly found anyone to
talk to. We came in at 6 and I got to call home for a bit which was fun.
We found like 5 new people which is suuuuper good since we
had like 0 people when this area opened. They are pretty cool and we are
excited to work with them. Mini miracles every day :)
We did some service for a nice family in the ward. They were
excited us to have us and fed us some weird cheese taco things. It was like
nacho cheese, eggs, potatoes, and a tortilla. I dunno what it was but it was
pretty good. We pulled a ton of giant weeds for them and found a bunch of
praying mantis. Also 2 dead ducks.
That's pretty much all I can remember of this week. Overall
a solid week of a solid mission. It seems like time is flying but I'm loving
it.
Los amo
