This
week was a pretty short week, with meetings and with soccer we didn't teach
much. There are two soccer stadiums near us, the first, like the real salt lake
is in our area. The second is right outside our area is the Peru National one,
and well it's dangerous. So we end at seven when they play.
On
Thursday we had a big meeting with our area seventy. Elder Waddell. It was
seven hours, with a 20-minute lunch. I loved it! I learned a lot, but more
important, that day I grew to love my president and his wife.
We
woke up at 5:30 to be there by eight. President lived further away, and he was
interviewing when I got there, so I figure he was up at about 4:30. When we
finally had lunch, I noticed President Bosweel walking around, filling drinks,
and talking to us. He didn't eat. Elder Waddell talked about how President
Bosweel is one of the best Mission Presidents in South America, I believe it,
and here's why.
They
started their mission in July, now when you're one of the top guys in Sams
club, you're living a good life. To leave that behind, for three years, and for
hermana Boswell to leave it, not knowing ANY Spanish. Wow. The man reads EVERY
email every week. He treats his wife like a queen, he serves his missionaries.
and there's about 200 of us. What great examples.
I
learned a lot this week; missionary life isn't just about baptisms, and
lessons, but also being a becoming a good person. Going the extra mile is most
important because you never know who's heart you'll touch, pouring drinks for
others. It's not easy, but it's worth it. I now trust my president, with my
life. I love and respect him. What a guy, what a life.
I'm
very blessed, and uh...protected. haha solid week, learning something every one
of them :) Oh! and President went to Mont Harmon, and CEU, Hermana Boswell grew
up in Orangeville, so that's cool.
Now...SOMEBODY
