I was just wondering what the Mission Home was like. Ours was an old ?mansion? that had been converted to serve the needs of the mission. Guess now I know.

hey dad!
so our mission home is a 4 or 5 story building, it is on one of those european streets where all the buildings are connected, so it is pretty cool. we have a chapel on the first floor, an outreach center on the 2nd (it has la big room and an office for the senior couplke, a ping pong table, and a foosball table and such for the young slingle adults...) and the 3rd floor is the mission office, and the top two floors are the misison presidents apartment. there are a few beds in their apqartment that liek new misisonaries get to sleep in and such on the first and last night of the mission.
well, we had transfer calls today and my distict is staying the same, really weird, but i guess it was supposed to happen. hopefully this transfer goes well too.
on sunday we met with one of the counsellors in the bishopric and he was very greatful that we have been working with less actives. we have been looking people up on the ward
list in our area and seeing if we can visit with them, and if phone numbers and addresses are right...the other elders in our ward (well, one of them) doesn't thinm it is too important to do, but they got a good talkin to on sunday by the counsellor [do I hear "get me a whip" in here?], and needless to say, they are working on it now. i don't think we as misisaonres do enough for less active or retention stuff, and there is only so much we can do, but there are a few things i know would help, but we aren't allowed to do.. i get kind of worked up talking about it, so i won't go into details, but ya... drives me crazy some times...well, notmuch else to report this week, kind of boring... i lvoe ya tons and talk to ya next week!!!
