On Wednesday, Elder Ravsten's first day with me, we had another tornado warning. We went to a member's house because it was getting pretty bad outside, (similar to the way the sky looked last year during that tornado).
We were watching the news with them so that we could know what to expect and let the other missionaries know what was coming their way. Then the warning sirens went off, so we all crammed into their shelter outside. We were all soaked by the time we were made it to the underground shelter. There were about 10 adults crammed into this thing.... PMG says to "work closely with members" so I guess that's what we did. HAHA!!! There didn't end up being a tornado, just a lot of wind and some heavy rotation. (witch pretty much is a tornado that hasn't officially touched the ground...yet).
I miss Elder Reese, but Elder Ravsten is a great missionary! He is the definition of a Workhorse. He is built like a strippling warrior and he acts like one too. "And they did obey every command with exactness". He is a little quiet, but he works very hard. I'm excited to work along side him this transfer.
We just got a phone call this morning from the mission office about adding sister missionaries in our ward. They want us to look for an apartment that they can stay in. Good things are happening. I love being part of this massive missionary wave influx stuff. "Operation Mission Expansion" is what President Taylor calls it.
This week we had a mission conference. Elder Neal L. Anderson of the Quorem of the Tweleve came with Bishop Davies (who gave a talk about a sure foundation in conference) and Elder Suarez. It was a great day. I had the opportunity to shake their hands. They talked about missionary work, planning, miracles, member missionary work and a whole bunch of stuff. It was great!! I learned a ton.
That is your missionary work MOM! Getting all of your kids through the temple. 3 down and 3 to go.
Good job!!
