This week was alright. There is a lot of things that have been going down here in the office that fortunately or unfortunately, depending on which way you look at it, is a good thing. A lot of housing problems have been coming my way because a lot of the houses that we are renting are really old have molding problems. And mold can lead to a lot of health issues. So my job for the next couple of months is to get all of the missionaries into suitable houses. It will be a lot of work but it needs to be done and that's my job.
Along with that, President and the area 70 are really worried about the security of our sister missionaries. So, another task that i have is to make sure that every sister missionary house has bars on the windows of their houses and some sort of self defense mechanism with them at all times. Its going to be a lot of money but the Church wants to best and most secure houses for our Sisters. This knowledge would give comfort and peace to all of those parents who are stressed and worried about sending their daughters on missions. The Church, at least down here in South America, is putting our number one priority to the safety of the sister missionaries. I would know because i´m in charge of it for our mission. I had a meeting with President McMullin yesterday about the very issue and he wants it all done no matter the cost.
Another thing that i have been working on is moving out all of the houses that we are not living in anymore. We had a pretty fun experience with one the other day when we had to move out of a two story building with a very narrow and windy staircase. There wasn't enough room for the closets and the beds to go down the stairs so we had my homie come and help us gently lower the furniture off the side of the balcony. It was very interesting to see. hahah I snagged a few fotos.
On our way back from the move, we had to travel for about a half an hour at about 11 at night to get back home. Unfortunately we drove past a couple of corners where we saw several prostitutes. We did our very best to avoid them. After we were closer to home and in a better place for missionaries to be i thought a lot about it. I came to the conclusion that we are not working hard enough. Satan is working all day long and especially during the night when we aren't. I was thinking about all the time we spend sleeping while he is still working. It gave me a lot of amp to work harder than i have been.
I know that this is the true Gospel and that its really us against the world. We need to be strong and faithful. We will win. We just need to stay strong!! Satan aint got nottin on us!!
I love you all so very much!!
and Hermana McMullin went to the states and brought us back some candy!! woo hoo
Love Elder Petersen
