Transfers almost went perfect. We just had two mistakecitos. 1. Our mission credit card stopped working, right as we were trying to buy extra luggage for a missionary traveling home. That was fun, we bought the luggage with someone else's card, Bishop Juan. He works for the Church as a transportation guy. 2. missionaries missed their flights... Again. I world have loved to take the blame and say that I could've done more and that it was my responsibility but this time I couldn't take the blame. There was nothing else I could do haha. Let's analyze this, we sent them 2 hours earlier than their flight time. I sent them with someone to accompany them through the process, I did their check in online. They got through security an hour.and.a.half.early... At that point we can't enter, they had to be on their own, we figured once they are passed security there is no way they can miss their flight. Ya they did. They missed it because they said "the intercom said 'all aboard the bus to go to the plane to Ayacucho'" and they said "oh we aren't going in bus, we are going in plane." So they didn't line up in their line and missed they flight. Not too happy about that one haha.
Other than that it went super smooth. After 2 transfers in the office I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, it was super easy with less missionaries. Right when we were doing all the stuff with transfers everyone was calling about their health problems, happens every time. On Tuesday we were training the new missionaries, and I got 4 phone calls about teeth problems. It was kind of a pain to have to schedule all of those appointments for them haha. The Church doesn't cover dental problems so that made things easier with payment and insurance things. Lesson for Brady and Ethan, take care of your teeth because in other countries the dental work is kinda expensive and a hassle to pay for on your part.
The investigators aren't doing so hot right now. Jeorgenis says he got blessed by God with a job. Said job has him work on Sundays, he asked for Sundays off but his boss won't let him. We told him God thinks that job is not right for him, so we invited him to pray again with all of his heart to help him get a job again, but one that lets him have Sundays off. We hope it goes well. Apart from him we are just now sneaking in our area again after getting wrecked by the transfers haha. We will get it back on the rise this week for sure! We got out on Thursday and Friday and both of those days were successful in finding potential new investigators.
Wanna hear something kind of funny? I take out everyone's flights 4 months before they end the mission so yesterday I had to request my own flight hahaha. I thought it was gonna be super trunky but I just kinda sent the request and worked on the next one haha #TookItLikeAChampcito
Thanks for tuning into Saturday afternoon ramble with Elder Olsen. Love you guys! You are amazing. Remember, "you are not humans having a spiritual experience, but rather spirits having a human experience."
