Interviews

This past week was truly one to remember! On Friday I had my interview with President AND Sister Henderson. President Henderson is a doctor and is suuuper serious about our safety because he has seen the effect of Covid-19 on people and he doesn't want to tell any parents that their child has it. I first was with Sister Henderson and it was like a ‘breaking the ice and allowing her to know more about me’ type of thing. Then I met with President Henderson. He is such an awesome guy! We talked about my work experience and my plans for the future here in the mission. He used a term called "quiet obedience". He explained that phrase is like, "yeah everybody in the mission is obedient, and it's no big deal to even talk about how obedient you are or aren't". I loved that so much. We talked about some personal struggles and he was super chill about it and just told me to move forward and never look back, and so I have! I talked to him about making my area a "spanish speaking area" and he was all for me doing instructive videos or whatever to teach people English/the gospel. He did say that if these people are getting pretty serious, that I should turn them over to the hermanas because the hermanas are technically in charge of all the Spanish speakers in the zone. All in all, it was a great time getting to see and talk with the Hendersons! Right after the interviews, I went on my exchange with Elder Shafer in my area and it was awesome. He is such a good guy with good intentions. It was pretty good to get a break from our companions and we both learned so much together. At the end of our exchange, we went to an investigators house to give him a blessing and a quick lesson. It was this elder’s 2nd ever blessing and it was a great learning and spiritual experience. We ended up having another lesson with that investigator on Sunday with his brother in law, who is a member...Which means he had a "sacrament" meeting! The work may be different than before, but remember what the Prophet Joseph said that, “no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progessing"! And with that in mind I hope you guys have an amazing week and I hope y’all are feelin’ my prayers and receiving the blessings for my effort!!
