¡Hola a Todos! (Hello All!)
This week was missionary transfer week in the Peru Lima
North Mission, which means that things are super busy and a little crazy … at
least for those in Lima. It’s amazing to hear how much the mission President
and his wife do to smoothly roll out mission transfers! We aren’t in the thick
of the excitement, but continue to support from afar the best we can. And this
is the transfer where the newly assigned office elders officially took charge
of the office, and so far, so good! They will be terrific.
Lane and I spent time reviewing mission office system
training videos and “cleaning up” some of the electronic files relating to
housing and service providers. It’s a learning process but we’re making good
headway.
On Friday afternoons, our mission has a mini-training
meeting – the Micro Aprendizaje (MAPZz for short) – and this week President and
Sister Packard had arranged for the Area mission doctor to talk to the
missionaries about health related issues. It was a great presentation which
covered the basics of eating a healthy diet, exercising, drinking plenty of
water, and then outlined remedies for the most common missionary ailments –
stomach-aches and head-aches. Of course this meeting is done by Zoom and our
Area mission doctor is currently living in Idaho. Like us, he and his wife are
waiting for Peru to open up and begin processing VISAs.
On a bit of a sad note, my MTC Spanish tutor got a great
internship/job in the field that she’s studying at BYU, so this week was my
last week with her. It’s a great opportunity for her, but I will miss her! She
feels like family.
As I was looking through my MTC notes this week, I came
across this thought: “God can’t steer a parked car!” which is a good reminder
to us to keep moving forward and don’t fall prey to analysis paralysis.
¡Que tengan una semana
súper fantástica! (Have a super fantastic week!)
Love,
Lane & LeAnn
