To add to the list, I haven't been getting Porter's emails either. I love Tad's costume! ***(not sure what the code is)I don't know if I'll be free for all of Thursday night...... Maria has reserved a first date on that night, so I might be open for a while but I can't make promises.***
We had some interesting moments this week. One instance was late one night after we had finished teaching. An investigator we had met that day called us in tears and asked us with broken English to come right away. We were temporarily without a car, so we speed walked over to her house with many worst-case scenarios running through our heads. It turns out that her husband/boyfriend had smoked weed and come back to beat her. He left and she decided that she had taken enough over the years and was going to move out with the children. We felt she was in a dangerous situation, so we paid for a taxi to take her to her family's house. She then proceeded to do her best to fit the refrigerator, all clothing, utensils, children, and cleaning supplies inside the taxi. We weren't sure if she was stealing all of his belongings, so we advised her to take only what she needed and then we had to leave. On our way back we met a man smoking who started a conversation with us by promptly denying that he was crazy......very convincing.
We got the area maps back this week! They're finally finished. Our next big project is to finish compiling a document that outlines all of the responsibilities of the office elders. This is to help future missionaries adjust quickly to this assignment and help the mission as much as possible. Elder Crane and I, along with the current assistants Elder Nygren and Elder Osei-Kuffour have done a lot to standardize things in the mission. Before this, it was mostly missionaries running around doing things the best way they could think of. We're trying to record things so there's a better system. The pictures attached are all from the "Becoming an Office Elder" file that we're creating. We wanted to be in every picture, but quickly realized that it wouldn't be possible. So we pasted ourselves in. Enjoy!
Love, Elder Nelson
