The work is continuing. This transfer was extended another week so as to not change everyone up right before Christmas. I'm surprised I'm not getting Emergency Transferred this next week! In the past, I've always been in a new area the last week of a transfer.
The Assistants to the President are thinking about splitting off Huntington spanish from Price spanish and putting a set of Spanish Visa waiters there. That way when the visas come through, the waiters can just leave and Huntington will be rejoined to Price spanish. I don't know if that is set in stone yet, but we'll see. I wonder if it will be me.
We went to a Bishop's house to eat dinner one night and saw that they had all of their pictures wrapped with wrapping paper and re-hung on the wall. The pictures of Christ were partially opened so you could see his face through the paper. It was a really cool idea. I think I'll do that when I start my family. It really shows the meaning of Christmas.
It's amazing how fast time passes here in the mission field. It's hard to believe I've been out 3.5 months! That's a little over 1/8 the way done! I feel like I haven't been out that long. Life is really different when all of your days are spent involved with other people, their lives, their commitments, their struggles, their joys, etc. I see things I don't want in my future life. I see things I do. I get to hear people's concerns about life, why we are here, and how they are spending the time allotted on this earth. It's really amazing to not have to worry about myself for awhile. This is how we as missionaries start to love the people we serve. We forget ourselves and go to work. We serve them. I really like this work.
That's about it for this week. I'll try to keep track of things that happen so I can report them to you all. I love you and appreciate all you do for me.
Love Elder Bunker
