Not actually, but I was a trio with them for most of the
week. Super crazy:
Tuesday: We drive down 2.5 hours to BR and stop by LSU to
eat with Elder Roderick’s member friends that he got to know when he served
there. Then we head to the AP's apartment
Wednesday: we wake up at 4am to drop off Elder Roderick at
the airport so he can go to San Fran and get visa stuff done for his call to
Portugal.
Thursday: I get to be a bag of meat following the AP's
around as they are preparing for the end of the transfer and doing a ton of
stuff. It was hectic and crazy but a LOT of fun.
Friday: do some more stuff with the AP's and then stay up
late to pick up Elder Roderick from the airport, who's flight got delayed till
12:30am so we stay up a little later and it's ends up getting cancelled. He
straight up has to sleep in the airport, but all is well, he is home
Saturday: wake up early to make it down to a landscaping
service project spreading gravel and mulch. Then go straight to the airport in
sweat and dirt to pick up Elder Roderick. We shower and get ready and then
drive the 2.5 hours back to Alexandria with just enough time to have dinner,
have Elder Roderick pack late into the night because he's getting transfered😥.
Sunday: went to church, then drove the 2.5 hours back to
BR(not even 15 hours later than when we got back to Alex). On the way we saved
a turtle from the middle of the road, put him in the car and drove for another
1.5 hours to drop him off at the LSU lake. We named him Muse cause that was the
closest sign when we found him in the middle of nowhere. We took him to go
sight seeing on the campus cause we had a little bit of time.
Monday(Today): went to the BR Zone Conference, not even in
my zone, then left early to be dropped off at the airport to head to an
undisclosed location to work on some Taiwan visa stuff. Super exciting! Don't
get too excited though, it's not as close as you think. Got to play some video
games with a 5 year old that sat next to me cause his sister was asleep and
wanted to play with me. That was fun. Now I'm here for the night, getting some
tests done and flying back tomorrow!
Needless to say, not a normal week, but despite it all
miracles are still afoot and the Work continues on. With a week of a lot of
stress and change, I've better realized how the Holy Ghost is truly the
Comforter and that we can always feel the fruits of his presence as we live
worthy of it; "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, temperance"(Gal 5: 22-23)
