These last two weeks have been so
great. Sorry, I didn’t email last week, this is what I have been doing for the
last two weeks.
First of all a tender mercy, I lost
my journal at Heathrow airport. Heathrow is not some small airport, Heathrow
and Paris are the main connecting airports in and out of Europe and so it is
HUGE! I had been keeping this one for the
past six months! I did everything to find it. I called the lost and found every
day and I even filed three missing reports...nothing and then they found it 6
days later! That was intense for me. I thought it was gone forever and then they
found my journal. It was a mirical!!!**
Last week was all about Pres. Shamo and
his family leaving. Before the Shamo’s left I went north of the river with them,
and the departing missionaries for their tour. They took us cuz they wanted to
make sure that we would have a trip up there. That was fun touring around with
the departing missionaries. We had moves later that same week. We had 18 new
missionaries come in, it was crazy. We
did training for the new missionaries and kept them at the temple for the night.
They went to the temple the next day and then we shipped them off to their areas.
Then we went over to president Shamo’s to help them pack up. By this point it
was Thursday afternoon at 3. We helped pack and clean from 3 pm to 2 am. The
next day we went to the airport and picked up the Millar’s and brought them
back to the house. President Shamo and President Millar had about 3-4 hours
together and then we said our goodbyes to Shamo’s and dropped them off at the
airport. It was really sad to see them
go.
A little bit about Pres. Millar. He
was a practicing cardiac surgeon up until two weeks ago. In 1993 he invented a
new way which the medical world uses to do some procedure on how to insert a
stint into a valve or something like that. He worked with Russell M Nelson. He
is a very straight forward man and down to business. Work first then play. He
is a very kind and loving man. It is like seeing new missionary in a grown man.
He will do such a great job. I am so excited to learn from him. His organization
and professionalism is something this mission will learn from him. Love the guy
already.
Well family I have to go love you
all so much! Thanks for all you do :)
Love,
Elder M. White
