Another Interesting Week!
I think I reported last week that I underwent an Echo cardiogram. I never enjoy those things. This is the 4th time I've had the pleasure. I haven't seen results as yet.
On Tuesday we enjoyed most of Zone Conference with Elder Erich W. Kopischke, a General Authority Seventy. It was wonderful. Before it started we all gathered for a picture. There were about 60 young missionaries and about 12 senior missionaries along with the Mission President and his wife and Elder Kopischke and his wife. We Senior Missionaries were asked to sit on chairs in front of the young Missionaries. Our Hermana Missionaries were standing in a particular location and so we thought it a good idea to sit in front of them. BUT...that was in the center of the photo. Elder Kopischke came to me and said, either you move to the end or you will be conducting the training today. So.....I did the training....NOT! We moved to the end. Was I embarrassed? Not a bit! I told him I guessed I COULD do the training, but that I'd rather he do it.
Tuesday evening Elder Kopischke asked all of us Senior Missionaries to join him at the Mission President's home for dinner and conversation. We enjoyed a wonderful time getting to know him and getting him and his wife to know us. He told me he will never forget me for what I did earlier. I told him I USED to be bashful, but I got over it.
On Wednesday I got the pleasure of a CT scan. It was supposed to be done with contrast, but my blood levels were not compatible. So just a normal quick CT scan.
We had nothing scheduled for Thursday so we were asked to be the custodian of one of the Sister Missionaries (English Speaking) for the day who was sick. She is in a three-companion companionship, so we babysat while the other two sisters went contacting. We enjoyed having her.
Friday morning we had district training with the Zone Leaders. Instead of our normal hour meeting it was 1.5 hours and then time for eating the snacks that Sister Black and I bring each Friday. Friday afternoon Sister Fluhman was still sick, so we had her most of the afternoon. She slept the whole time she was here, which is good. She is feeling much better now.
On Saturday we attended a baptism of two young men. Their parents are not members and didn't want to be baptized, but their time will come. They are very supportive of these two sons.
On Sunday we were asked to bring an investigator family named Martinez to church. Father, Mother, and three children. The oldest child is 7. They are from Honduras. They have received the first discussion and have asked for more lessons.. They loved the meetings. Our Bishop invited them to come to his home and eat dinner with his family and enjoy Family Home Evening there.
Today has been our preparation day. We've done 7 loads of laundry (we might have been just a little bit behind), swept and mopped the hard floors and done some other stuff we needed to get done.
We're still trying to get connected with a Spine and Pain group, but we think we are moving the correct direction. The President of the Orange Texas Stake is a Pain Doctor. We have given his office paperwork and now we are just waiting for an appointment.
All in all, it has been a good week.
