I hope you all had a good busy week!
From the looks of all your letters, you all said something about how
busy everything is! I had a pretty good week! I officially have served
more days now in the mission than I have left to serve! Its crazy how
time goes by soooo fast! In the house that I'm living in there were 4
of us in the same group on Thursday night! So we all took pictures
together and hopefully I can send them to you when I get them from the
other Elders. The majority of these pictures were taken in front of the
flaming white shirts that two of us burnt...I was not one of them! But
it still was pretty cool, I also lost faith in white shirts because if I
ever get set on fire já era! Its over! I think the whole shirt took
about 4 seconds to be lit completely in flames.
The
email is called week of craziness because of all the time I am spending
in Microsoft excel. I think I made over 80 graphs with a ton of
different data, then what really made this night crazy was last night I
was just about to leave the office when President called and asked for a
new set of graphs. We absolutely had no information so I
had to gather all the information from the missionaries. This is what I
had to organize and put together. President called around 6:45- 7 o'clock
last night and wanted me done by 11:30 this morning. The problem was that I
had 80 wards to get all of this information from. It was a little difficult
to say the least. I worked until 11:30 then got up early and got to the
office to try and finish. It didn't work too well and then I was working
this morning on pday which meant I wasn't the happiest camper, but it turned
out to be good for me.

Stake Ward
#members Attendance in July 2013 Baptisms in a year, reactivation of
members in a year. The fubecas or slackers of the ward, they will go to
church and give a lesson and then the next 2 weeks they went to the
beach. That sort of thing. People who moved. Attendance in July2014 %
that the attendance went up. Converts that went to at least one Sunday
after they were baptized.
The highlight of the week I think was yesterday morning. Elder Parrella and I always joke about who would beat who in certain sports
and everything. He's already beat me in jiu jitsu and long distance
running. I beat him in sprinting and jumping, but he wanted to see if
he could knock me out in rugby. He's gotten really excited to play
rugby and says he doesn't want to play football because its a game for
girls hahaha. He just says all that stuff to get me going, but we decided
that we had to stop the talk and walk the walk hahah (mom's quote). So
for our morning exercises, we got up at 5:45 with some of the other
elders in our house and went to a field to play. We had some people
chicken out because it was slightly drizzling, but in the end it was so
much more fun with the grass completely wet and all of us dirty and muddy.
The first 2 minutes, everyone was a little hesitant about tackling and
actually making contact, but then my team started losing and I went
hard......hahah. I trucked two elders then scored. Then everyone freaked
out and it was so much fun. I'll send some pictures if I can.
We played until 7 then went back to get ready for the day.
Transfers
are gonna happen tomorrow! The only thing that could change for me is
maybe I move wards, but I honestly don't think that I will. Comps may change as well because Debaltzo is leaving and Kocinba is going to be
training someone to be the next financial secretary.
Have a great week!
Love you guys so much!
Elder Chase Thurgood
