As always the last week of the month, and it has been crazy. I got all of the payments ready to go Tuesday because we had zone conference Wednesday, and I wasn’t going to have time to get them done. I had President approve them Wednesday night, and it all turned out ok. At least until yesterday when I received an e-mail that 4 of the payments didn’t go through because the missionaries had received to much money in one month. The problem was February is shorter than the other months, and I guess we weren’t supposed to enter in the payment until the 25th, so it looked like each missionary had received double for the month of February, when it was really there money for March. It wasn’t too big of a problem, but it had me worried for a second. Then I went to start to download phone cards for the missionaries to find out that the company that we use is in maintenance. So I was going crazy yesterday trying to figure out how we were going to get all of the missionaries their phone cards. So working with President, we found one of his friends that is going to be mission president in the Cuzco mission, he hooked us up with about 80 phone cards. The problem was it wasn’t until about 7:30 last night, so now I have to use p-day to get them all sent off. Its all good though.
We had two baptismal interviews yesterday, and they both passed! So we have Rueben that is going to be baptized at 3 today, and then Krishna (hna Erica’s son) at 1:30 tomorrow. So the weekend will continue to be pretty crazy. Its all good though, its always better when its crazy for baptisms. We are teaching the hna Suzanne from Canada and her husband Ceasar, and they are really great people. They even accepted a date to prepare for baptism. The challenge that the hna Suzanne has is she smokes, and has done it for years. So we are praying hard for her that she can overcome this addiction, but we know that with God’s help she can do it. They really are feeling the spirit when they pray and read the Book of Mormon, so they will be baptized it might just take a little more time.
So they are changing the boundaries of the mission with the two new missions here in Peru, and it looks like we are going to be losing about half of Lima (around 50 missionaries). President jokingly said that I’m going to be financiero in the other mission for another nine months, and I told him, "not so much, in 6 months I’m going to be en mi casa!" We’ll see what happens though; I guess we are going to lose about 50 missionaries to the other mission.
So things are really going great. I hadn’t run for two days, so I decided to put down a 5 miler this morning. I don’t think I’ve run that far in the mission yet, but I really felt pretty good, so I’m going to start doing the longer runs more often
Well thanks for always writing, its really great to hear how everyone is doing at home. Talk to you next week!!
Love,
Elder Lee
