Mom,
Sounds like you had all sorts of adventures there in the caribbean! im glad.
So the new area. Well, we are shotgunning the Weston 1st ward. Its a really great ward. we are excited to get to work here. It's not really near Belmont because the Mission Office is moving to Natick. Which is right near where we live. So we are commuting for the next 2 weeks. Elder Ririe is awesome. He is from SLC. He plays soccer, and wants to become an OB/GYN. He wants to delvier babies. i told him that you were a labor and delivery nurse and he thought that was cool. The new apartment is filthy. the elders that were there before were messy. we have a lot to clean. but we never have time! So what do we do in the office? we are the assistants to the president, so it involves anything and everything he would need us to do. We do the reporting from the ZL's, and compile it and send it to Salt Lake. We pick-up and drop-off the new missionaries. We help with transfers. We tour the ZLs. We run the Zone conferences. We do a looot of stuff. Essentialy we dont get a lot of sleep, hardly any time to eat, very little time to proselyte, and lots of other things. like this week, our p-day is only 3 hours. Its fun though. thats for sure.
We are going to try to schedule dental appointments for me and elder Ririe with a member who will do it for free. We have unlimited miles and a sweeet truck so we can go to merrimack NH for that.
Things have been hectic! we had 2 zone conferences with Elder Hinkley. That was sweet. We also had an investigator fireside with him. we had to drive all over getting translation equipment. It was sweet having 3 languages being translated. Could have had 4, but no cambodians showed up.
The ward is sweet, but we dont have much time to proselyte. its especially crazy because we are shotgunning. Both of us have done it before though, so its not somthing new to us. Give us a week and things will be going well.
well, we gotta run. lots to do! ttyl!
love ya,
Elder Onken
