Boy oh boy what a week it has been! Monday after I was done
emailing shaped all of it so I will start there.
Since y'all heard about my wonderful accident two weeks ago
with tearing a ligament in my foot we had arranged to get myself a boot last
Monday. With how crazy it was with arranging that I was in contact with the
mission office a lot that day so when President Smith's name popped up on my
phone it didn't shock me all that much, I
just figured it was about my foot. As I answered the phone he did exactly that,
asked me about my foot, how I was doing, and if I was going to be coming to the
mission leadership council that Wednesday. It is only my toe so I
told him of course I would be coming to the council. Then he hit me with
it....he said "will you have your bags packed for me when you come on
Wednesday?" I was somewhat confused until he told me he was calling me to
be the new assistant to the president and that he wanted me there to help him with figuring
out transfers. The big thing was that he told me I couldn't tell anyone because
transfers were for another week or so. I thought that the people in Mobile
would catch on super quickly with all of the hints
that were thrown out but I guess the Lord didn't want them knowing either. Once
i actually left word went around pretty quickly.
I absolutely love my
new companions; Elder McPherson and Elder Musgrave. They are some of the
funniest people I have ever met. It will be sad when Elder Musgrave goes home
in two weeks. We have only done 1 hour of proselyting since Wednesday because
of all of the administrative work that was going on.
I am thankful for the call, I am thankful for my companions, I love being
around them, I love being around "the keys"(president) so much and to
see how he works...brilliant man! Know that all situations we
are put in are for us, our learning, our understanding, and people that we will
need to help in the future. Learn everything now! love and miss y'all.
All is well. If you need my
address...talk to my ma!
Elder Welch
