The good news this week is most all the transfers that happened last week everyone is happy with. It's a miracle. We actually find out out how good the transfers are by week 5 when if anything is really stressful they have had it and can't take anymore. So we will see. But so far so good.
I think we are finally getting on time of the flu epidemic too. Until I get yet another call if a poor missionary who is sick. This one was throwing up and I think a bit shocked at me when I told them to go get a coke and sip it slowly. He was less unsure of me when I told him when the leaders travel abroad and get stomach problems that is what they tell them to do because coke is actually medicinal. And besides that it kills everything in your system. I am such a great doctor.
This week I dealt with a stress fracture in a missionary who is in a walking area. Dad may have to change that. I also had a missionary who sprained their ankle really bad. Other than that is was just the usually anxiety and "I am depressed " kinds of things. I am getting use to it I guess. Breaks my heart with some of them. I just want to write on their hand or some place they can look at it..."BE NICE TO YOURSELF" you are doing a great job. The Lord loves you! Missionary work is hard.
Interviews continued this week and we helped the missionaries teach an investigator again at another home. This is our fourth time meeting with her. She won't pray because I think she will find out it is true and she will have to make a decision. In the mean time she likes how she feels around us and the good truths we teach. Kind of hard to convince them they can feel like this all the time and more if they will just pray about it and find out for themselves. Missionary work is hard.
I had the sisters help me deliver 136 DFG kits to a women's homeless shelter in El Centro. The director was thrilled. She said they never gets supplies like this and since they can last for so long it is a real bonus. Hope we created some good will for the missionaries in the area. The shelter is connected with the Catholic church. They like our sisters and Elders in El Centro.
You have heard the new meaning for FEMA haven't you? In disaster areas FEMA now stands for Find Every Mormon Available. I love it. Some of our members in our northern stakes went and helped in the fire areas in Lilac and Thomas fire areas. That is where this saying started.
Mission Leadership Council was this week. I handed out Valentine cookies and candy hearts. Keep the loaded wit sugar is our policy. It was actually Ground Hog day but there is no candy for that.
Dad and I spoke in San Diego North Stake Conference saturday session last night. Today we actually have no speaking assignment. Wow. San Diego North is getting a new stake president today so we are going to see who it is because we work so close with the stake presidents.
Otherwise i am trying to get my computer to work as it should and we took sometime yesterday to be regular type people. Kind of nice.
We love you all so much and appreciate all you do for us and your prayers. You are in our prayers too and we think of you all the time.
MLC in February. I made them strike a different pose. The pictures were all starting to look alike.
