ok so get this. i am running around the last pday with torres trying to go and visit all the families that he visited during his mission. then i get a call from president. "hey elder wattles. so i have a very strong feeling that you should be on the office team for the next little while. you are going to be my personal secretary, as well as worry about the visas and al the legal things that are going to happen within the mission. you will receive a van to do all of runs to the centro, as well as taking missionaries to and from the airport." i literally almost died. I AM GOING TO WORK IN THE OFFICE? OF THE MISSION?? it was prolly the scariest call that i ever received. get this though. i got this call on wednesday, and president told me that i had to go into the office on friday at 11 at night. i didnt get any time to say goodbye to all the peeps in my sector, but it was awesome though, because we organized a little temple trip with a less active that we are reactivating. literally, jean is prolly one of my fav people in the whole sector. but we had the opportunity to go to the temple with him while he did baptisms for the dead, and it was so awesome! then we raced to the house, i packed all my stuff, and then i went straight to the office. the scary thing about it though was that right when we got to my new house, i had to get up at 4 in the morning to go and pick up the new kids from the chile mtc and i was seriously dying of sleep deprivation #dead. and driving down here is just a joke. and then heiner literally started teaching me right out of the gate. its not THAT hard of a job as of right now, but i think that i am going to enjoy what these next changes have to come! but other than that, ROSIE AND POLETE GOT BAPTIZED THIS LAST WEEK TOO!!!!!!! it was literally the coolest thing ever to see them finally get baptized. i was able to confirm rosita after her baptism, and torres confirmed polete. the whole ward showed up to support them as well, and the spirit was SO strong during the meeting. was able to sing "i know that my redeemer lives" during the baptismal service as a special musical number, and a sister from the ward sang with me. honestly one of the coolest baptisms that we have had! other than that, this week wasnt super super exciting. i am going to let you guys know a little bit more about the studies that i am doing from now until like christmas, cause as an office elder, i don't really have time to go out and do a lot of proselyting. ill give you guys a little bit more updates with the stuff that i am learning and doing over here in the office of the mission! love all of you guys to the moon and back! EKW baptisms from 2 weeks ago! baptisms from last week! last sushi dinner together before he goes home aaaaand all the new office kids (except for the one in the back..he went home to his fam this past week!) heiner is the blonde, he's my new compy
