Transfers make things CRAZY!!



This has been a CRAZY week!!!!


Sorry for not sending an email last week or the week before! I'd had one typed for two weeks ago, but forgot to send it, so I'll do that right now! And last week was transfers, and being the ones in charge of that, we didn't really get a Preperation Day ๐Ÿ˜…

My whole mission I have heard that transfer week is the craziest week ever for the office elders, I had no idea ahahah!! 

Here's a couple fun stories!
We dropped off a group of 10 at the airport at 3am, we get a call around 10am saying, "hey we all made it to Amsterdam, and they let 8 through,  but 2 of us they stopped us and asked for our residency cards, saw they are expired, (like every single missionary) and aren't letting us through and our flight to the states leaves in 20 minutes."
Wow, that was definitely a crazy problem to fix, but God came through with a miracle and everyone got home safely!

Another fun story, the other night some hermanas called us saying there was a fire in their kitchen and the entire building is evacuated!! The truth is though, I cannot believe how blessed they were, most of their apartment is savable! It could've been so so much worse and they are completely okay! God's hand is in each detail!

And even better, we get to the office the other morning to find out that one of the elders transferred on Tuesday has Covid Symptoms and we were calling people all morning to track down literally everyone who was in contact with him.  And 30 missionaries were in quarantine, in their own room, separate from their companion for 2 weeks!! Luckily the covid test turned out negative and everyone was released from quarantine, but it shows just how careful we need to be!!!

LOVED
CONFERENCE 
SO 
MUCH!!!

I'll end this here with the invitation to look for God's hand in your lives, especially in the trials, and you will be changed!

LET GOD PREVAIL!!!
