It
sounds like you had such a fun week!! I'm glad that you all enjoyed
yourselves! I hope you took some good pictures of the "air chair." That
sounds pretty exciting.
I'm pretty impressed with
Trinsica making big decisions like that on her own. I've thought a lot
about the importance of being proactive and learning to act for
ourselves and it seems like Trinsica is a good example of being able to
do that.
As for your questions...
Along with my companion, Elder Paskett, our main
responsibility prepare and give trainings and help President Shin with any
other projects or tasks that he needs. There are 4 Elders total in the office.
The other 2 Elders are more in charge of ordering materials, helping with
financial, translating, etc. President Shin has a hard time traveling alone and
isn’t super fond of driving a lot, so we almost always go with President to
Zone Conferences, Firesides, interviews, etc. I’ll be getting my Korean driver’s
license within probably a week or so. On normal days, we are in the office
until 6 and then we go out and do “normal” missionary work. But this past week
was super busy with incoming missionaries, outgoing missionaries, our Mission
Leadership Council, and preparing for the Zone Conferences that start tomorrow.
The mission home and the mission office are right next to each other inside the
same fenced plot of land, but we live on the 2nd floor of the
mission office, not in the mission home. We usually eat meals at our home, but
this past week was full of events and special situations where we had quite a
few meals with President Shin in their home. It is definitely different, but it’s
lots of fun. In lots of ways, I feel like a student, which isn’t really a bad
thing because I love being a student.
And just so you know, I found some deodorant and will
probably have enough to last me until I go home, so you don’t have to worry
about sending it anymore… Thanks for being prepared though! Packages are great
just because they are fun, but I know how expensive they are and there isn’t
really anything else that I need that I can’t get here, so I will be happy if
you don’t worry about sending a package at all. You can just save the goodies for
me when I get back instead. ;)
I love you and am so happy to hear you are doing well!! I
hope you have a wonderful week!
Love Elder Tolman
