All Blacks Rule

07-11-2015

Last Saturday, the All Blacks won their 3rd World Cup (1987, 2011, 2015) and their 2nd consecutive win. I was impressed.

This week went by quickly. I am not sure why it felt like that, because there was not really much going on:

Monday was fairly standard, we discussed the plans for transfers and such, we worked on getting the referrals out for the new facebook campaign, and met with President and Sister Bunnell.

The next day, somewhat out of the ordinary, since we were 45 minutes late to district meeting (and we were driving the district leader there, so he could not start it). But apart from that, it went well and we got back reasonably on time.

Wednesday and Thursday were also normal days in the office during the day, with our prep for transfers and sending out referrals taking up most of the time during the day and finding and teaching taking up most of the time in the evening.

On Friday, I helped out President Bunnell with the internet at the Mission Home, by installing and configuring a new router. I know very little about networks and such, having only had about six months of that for about an hour a week, and very little interest. But I got it working and communicating properly with the computer and printer and other devices.

Today, we will just have a relaxed p-day and nothing too crazy. And tomorrow, transfer calls!

Another normal week in the office, more or less.

The date for the move to the new office is set for the Thursday after transfers. I am not entirely sure, but I am guessing that week will be even crazier than normal. But at least there are only two new missionaries arriving, and 7 or so going home. But all the same, an already busy week will just get busier. 

On Tuesday, we had a normal district meeting, on the good use of the area book and how that can help (or if not used well, hinder) the next missionaries to serve in the area. It was a good district meeting. The YSA activity in the evening was less well attended than I had hoped, but there were some people there nonetheless, and it was fun.

We helped with the moving of a bunch of boxes with things such as Book of Mormons, pamphlets, planners, cards, etc..., from this office to the new one. We also moved some unused stuff to the old church in Zoetermeer (currently used as storage). It took us all day, but it was a good workout, and will save some time when the actual move occurs. 

Today, we have a Halloween party in the evening (some member is buying us onesies, haha).
