Family,
This week was just a little different.
On Wednesday we
went to interviews with our mission president.
It felt like I was going to show my report card to my parents. I
was kind of nervous because it was my first one with him and each interview was
about a half hour long. You couldn't
hear anything that was happening inside the room. There was a long wait
for the interviews. There was a chair
right next to the door that everyone called the 'hot seat', which is the next
person to get interviewed.
When I got into the room with President Weston, he told me a
lot of things and one was to write my own book that is like the book 'Hearing
the Voice of the Lord' but with my own incites and thoughts about that kind of
thing.
On Friday we were volunteering at Skate land and I still had
not used that $200 gift certificate. So I
had kept it in my wallet and while we were volunteering at Skate land this guy
"R" who we know from Skate Land has been going through a lot of financial
issues and told me he was flat broke. He said that he just needs to trust in the Lord
for what happens next. I thought that it would be the perfect time to
give him my gift card. He couldn't believe it at all and thought it was a
joke and we had to convince him about 5 times before he believed us. "R" was
super ecstatic and was very happy, I felt really good about doing it and helping
him out.
We also volunteered at the elementary school this week for a
member who is a teacher there.
Love,
Elder Vance
