This was the hardest week ever, and it was also a great
opportunity to learn and grow. we taught ONE lesson last week, because we were
always backed up with office work. many times we were ready to go outside and
proselyte, but some last minute, very important thing popped up that had to be
done. even Saturday, we went on splits to Palo, but we didn't get to go until
about 1 in the afternoon, and we returned at 5 to drop off a missionary that is
going home. Sunday we had meetings. It was the most frustrating week of my
life? Why am I telling you all this? because Life sucks, and it most certainly
doesn't go where we think it will. But through all of it, I felt something,
like the Spirit trying to speak to me. I am ashamed to say that I ignored it
for a while, just being stressed and angry that nothing was working like I
wanted it to. But, just yesterday, we had some Sunday talks, and they were
about trusting in the Lord and accepting his will. The speakers spoke mostly
English as well, which most definitely meant the message was for me. Life is
hard, but the Lord has complete control over it and will NEVER leave us alone.
It took me a long time to trust that I am in the office for a reason. I don't
know it, but I can definitely enjoy it while I am here. Lots of great
opportunities in the office. there are opportunities in our challenges, and if
we focus too much on the struggles, we will not be ready for those
possibilities that are coming up
quick note of the hair: I miss my hair before. The barber
messed up, and now I am just waiting for it to grow back.
My Companion, Elder C, is the travel secretary, and
because I am his companion, We are always taking missionaries to the airport
and picking up missionaries returning home from other missions. It has been so
sweet to see these going home missionaries so strong in faith and courage come
home to their reward. As for the new missionaries, it is a mix of fear,
excitement, and determination. They are good people. I love missionaries.
The sweater is dope. Everyone always talks about my sweater.
It's so nice! It gets really cold in the office, and rain season is coming up,
so I have to prepare. Sweaters are really gwapo too, so that helps. That was
the zone conference that you saw. The lunch was a chop suey veggies and beef,
with rice. It was so GOOD! Sister Argana has been feeding us a lot recently,
and is always inviting us from the office for a quick dinner or lunch while we
are in the office. I had cheese for the first time in a year last week! so
delicious! it's the little things that make me happy.
Life is still good here, and I just want to do the best I
can. All is well here, just filling out orders and getting stuff. All I do is
shop, pack boxes, and answer complaints about vehicles. It's harder then it sounds,
I swear.
I love you all, and hope all is well with you. School starts
soon, and I'm unsure if that is super fun to you all, but just work, hang in
there, and party hard while you can!
Love
Elder Kuehne
