Around the World in 80 Days

It is so odd to me that it is almost time for another group of missionaries to arrive (and for another to go home). But next Tuesday, 20 missionaries will fly in from the MTC. The biggest group to arrive so far this year (and since I got here). Fortunately (for my sanity), the next few groups will be much smaller in comparison. But it is always fun to be at the hotel for the orientation and trainings and such.

We had a great appointment with an investigator from South Korea (the potential that we looked up a few weeks ago and came looking for us after). She fed us and asked a lot of questions. She has decided that she needs to make up her mind and join a church. (I just hope she chooses the best church for her). And this evening, our fantastic Burundian investigator will be baptised!!

The Belgium trip this week was cancelled, and the next one will be in two weeks. But it was not such a bad thing, since 30 packages, at least, came in this week (mainly Christmas packages for missionaries). And in 10 days, we get to go deliver all those packages to the missionaries during zone trainings all over the mission. Hehe. We will be sure to wear Christmas hats when we do that.
