"Hello missionaries would you like a ride?" Elder George at your service, anywhere you want to go, on the island, we will take you. So for Tuesday and Wednesday we just picked up the New Elders and drove them to shop and teach. I absolutely loved having 8 people in the apartment again, talking late every night and sharing stories. Then I went to take them all (new missionaries and trainers) to the airport and watched Elder Hansen from my MTC group, go back to Chuuk. Super sweet to talk with him for a couple of days. Those new missionaries are gonna kill it!
Chalan Pago is my new area and it is straight jungle. The back roads at night really scare my companion, but I just laugh and think that it is the coolest thing to be out in the jungle under a dark sky in the rain as though we are the only ones out there. I am so excited to find new people, I do agree with my companion sometimes though when we are approaching a house that is made of boats, wood and has weird stuff hanging from the top that maybe we better go somewhere else.
Sad note - my wallet was stolen and they tried to use my card at a McDonalds. Luckily the account was frozen so there's that, but I will have to wait for a new driver's license and debit card. Sister Hicks is making sure we don't starve. She gave us all the extra food that the new missionaries didn't get a chance to eat before leaving for their new assignments.
My spiritual thought for this week is to have HOPE! Have fun, trust in the Lord and enjoy life. Do not doubt Him. He truly has a plan for each of us and is a master designer. He loves to show His hand in the most intricate details of our lives. He is just waiting for us to notice and act. Love you all! Have a great week,
Elder George
