My apologies to anyone who went in search of my "weekly" missionary post last week. I have been struggling to get over a new virus and my motivation to write was low. I also didn't have a lot to write about since I've spent most of the last three weeks home sleeping. It is very hard not to act trunky when you're already home and sleeping most of the day away.
My replacement has been called, so I started training him this week. It was a lot harder than I thought. I've made really good notes for him, but I'm not sure how to teach someone to turn finicky processes into a matter of habit. Ah well, he'll just do like I did and ask for help every day. The HR team has decided that it takes at least six months to be relatively competent at the job, so no matter how good you are, there is going to be a steep learning curve.
It's funny that it happened less than a month before I'm released, but an article has been written about my mission: Listen for the Whisperings. The author, Tiffany Tolman, is one of my fellow writers that I see every month, and she did a 'bang up' job.
My week was pretty slow, but I did experience some miracles. One- I've finally begun to feel better. The second miracle happened on the one day I made it to Salt Lake this week (a miracle in itself). Our Financial Director felt prompted to tell me about his son's ongoing illness (which sounds incredibly similar to what I've been experiencing), and how his son just happened to be assigned to an internship with an alternative medical practice that was able to diagnose his illness. After our family's fasting and praying to know what to do to improve my health, this was definitely a ray of hope for me. This was also the day after I finally prayed for myself to get better. I don't know why it didn't occur to me before, that I could pray for things for myself that I don't have any control over, but I never did until this week. My hope has definitely been strengthened by this experience.
Thanks and all my love,
Sister Ward
