Finished up all the transfer movements this week! It was a little crazy. We got some new arrivers in on Wednesday who was off to New Cal but it turns out that church travel booked his flight to New Cal for 2019! He almost got arrested at the airport cause he has no Visa and no proof of leaving the country haha. We have to get him a flight on the spot to prove he was going to leave the country. The catch was that his flight was like 3 days later than all the others flying to New Cal cause their flight was full. Elder Lythall chilled with us and proselyted in Vanuatu for a few days! To make things worse his bags didn't even come so we had to improvise a bit and get him some clothes for a few days. Thankfully right before he left on Sunday his bags showed up at the airport thank goodness. Another thing that made things interesting was that 3 arrivers didn't even show up! They got held in the New Zealand MTC and no one told anyone in the mission! We had to cancel flights and such but nothing too crazy.
Another crazy thing. Wednesday morning at like 3:30am we had to take all the returning missionaries to the airport. First of all everyone in the house woke up late so we were all in a huge rush. To make things more interesting, when we got to the STL's house to pick up the one sister missionary returning to New Cal the gate to their complex was locked and turns out that they don't even have a key!! The poor sister had to throw her luggage over the 8 foot gate and change into shorts and climb over herself! A nice stressful morning to say the least :)
Thursday we just drove around new arrives to get all their business done. I also helped Elda Child learn how to drive stick :) that was fun. President wanted him to learn it well before we got the new bus (which we finally have now)!! It's basically the same, just not falling apart haha.
We got quite a few days to proselyte this week and it was super cool being in a trio. We had about 14 lessons and Elder Lythall kinda felt lost the whole time haha. He thought he would be learning French. Our 12 year old recent convert Jerry should be getting the priesthood soon too which is exciting!! The area is going well. Still teaching alot and got a good set of progressing investigators.
Bout it!
Have a good week everyone!
Love,
Elder Burbank
