It sounds like you guys are doing great, Its been absolutely crazy here! We have to close out and account for all the money we've spent as a mission the past month, by the end of the day tomorrow, as well as deal with all the things going on during ourtransfer week, we have to get the outgoing missionaries to manila and on a plane tomorrow, and handle the incoming missionaries the day after, It really strange to see the sisters we came in with going home, Its strange to think that after just 2 more of these outgoing groups, i'll be next,
We had a great experience in office meeting yesterday, President gave the spiritual thought, it was on Elder Rasmussens conference talk on the Joyful Burden of DIscipleship, he said, with a smile, it was fitting with all the things he's had to deal with in the past 6 weeks as a new mission president, but he got in to sustaining leaders, and tha tas we sustain leaders, we dont just raise our right hand, but we promise to take part of the burden of their position upon ourselves, to lift the hands that hang down and to strengthen the feeble knees, we got talking about this topic and we related sustaining a leader as loving that person enough to help them , and often times we show that love through just a simple suggestion, through giving an answer to a question, no matter how insignificant it may seem, As president was talking I thought about how blessed each of us in the office were to be in the situation to give he and sister that guidance when they need it, I thought of just how lonely leadership can be without being surrounded by those who love you enough to take upon themselves that burden, whether large or small, he thanked us with tears in his eyes for sustaining him the past few weeks, it helped me to see that the Lord places experiences in our lives to help us be fit for the kingdom regardless of our age, age doesn't stop those experiences from coming, and that this experience for president is as much a chance for him to grow as it is each of his missionaries. He's a truly humble man and the result of one who seeks first to be teachable.
Things are going great, Im learning each day, I feel healthy, eating well, putting on weight to try and be able to match tucker, haha, The lord is blessing us abundantly as active administers to the needs of the Philippines San Pablo Mission.
