Time for Transfers: 29 missionaries come on Wednesday and 16 will go home on Friday. Six Sister Missionaries and the rest are Elders. President has always believed that the way to get revelation is to ask the Lord to guide your thoughts then do your homework while all the time listening for the promptings of the Spirit and seeking the Lord’s confirmation.
That process has been fascinating. President determined who should train the new missionaries. As part of doing homework we read about each incoming missionary and each potential trainer. I was amazed how there was always a common characteristics between trainers and trainees.
I do not think President has decided everything for sure, but I have done my part. I offer counsel. But I do not have the authority, keys or responsibility for which I am glad. The weight of it seems heavy to me. Ultimately that decision will be between President and the Lord.
What is my responsibility during transfers? I’m pretty sure of what and how I will train this coming Wednesday. I know what advice I will give to the missionaries when they go home. But what to eat?...I do not know. Some things never change.
