This week was the week of transfers. We had almost every single missionary in the mission at the mission home on Wednesday. All but 4 people came in from the provinces. Then the day after transfers we had new missionaries come from America. As office elder I was much of coordination and planning.
On a cool note we had the opportunity to have dinner at the home of the new Pakistani family that moved into our branch. They have a crazy story of fleeing Pakistan from Muslim persecution and then being detained in prison for 2 years in Thailand on visa issues before escaping and making it to Cambodia. Through all their trials they never lost faith in God and always prayed for a miracle of leaving the prison and now they are so grateful to be here. Right now they are on a tourist visa and trying to set up a Pakistani restaurant to get a working visa. Keep them in your prayers!
Also had Kena come back from America, she was at church last week, and we're working with her to continue learning. She has already had fantastic fellowship from the members and this past Saturday we went out to lunch with the youth at a waffle place and she came along as well.
Last interesting note, we have an investigator named Moses from China that I can't remember if I've mentioned before, but he told Drew (a member who's here doing an internship) on Sunday that he wanted to help do home teaching when Drew was handing out assignments (Drew speaks Mandarin since he served his mission on Taiwan). Drew told him that he needs to become a member through baptism first. Hopefully when we meet him for dinner this week with Drew we can set a goal for a baptismal date for him.
With a new transfer comes a new planner. I'll attach the inspiration photos I used this time around.
Life is always busy around here; never a dull moment in paradise.
Love y'all!
