Elder Flaco Blanco: Heck Week!

This was heck week, but surprisingly went very well!! We had our "Missionary Leadership Council" on Wednesday and our (Awesome) President made a few big changes to our mission, including the banishment of future "Zone Focuses" ....you don't care about that. But for us, that's big news!

Then on Wednesday night, we actually went on splits with the mission President!! for those of you that don't know, he's the boss. He's pretty much the one that receives revelation for the mission and makes changes as directed by the spirit. In other words, sometimes it's nerve racking to be evaluated by him. BUT! Our splits was AWESOME! He didn't understand anything that was going on because he doesn't speak Spanish, but we went to 4 lessons in 3 hours, and set 2 new baptismal dates! He unknowingly witnessed a very successful night!!

We also had our stake correlation where we accounted for the efforts of our zone members, and worked with the Stake Presidency. Which was very stressful last transfer, but this time, we were much better prepared, and it went fairly well.

One exciting story happened this week was when one of our District Leaders wen missing! Like... ALL DAY LONG! He never showed up to our Tuesday morning conference call in the morning, and then no one saw him all day long, and he wasn't picking up his phone, so we called some other zone leaders to "drop into their apartment" and they WEREN'T THERE!! It was actually kinda scary. They waited in the other elders apartment until like 10:00 until they got home. (Way later than they were supposed to) and they called us and we had to handle the situation... I felt like a worried/frustrated father waiting for his kids to get home after curfew. (Side Note: it makes me think about how God must feel when He watches us delay our obedience.) All in all, it was an unnecessary headache.... Silly Elders.

Last story- Elder Ah Hoy (One of my former companions, who is home now) visited the mission field on Friday, and called us out of nowhere and invited us to lunch! That was fun! :)

That's pretty much it for the week. Keep in mind Kevin Rojas, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Gisel Olivera. They're getting baptized soon if all goes according to plan. Thanks again!

Love you!
