Dear Mom, Dad, Lauren, and Elder Froude, and everyone
waiting for Christmas!
Well, this is it…my last email, hopefully, as a Full-Time
missionary. It’s been a great and wonderful journey, and I’ve enjoyed every
step of the way. I hope and pray that my passport will be able to come in from
the Immigration office on time so that I can spend the Christmas season with my
family. I ask my kind supportive readers, if you will pray for me tonight and
1. Tell him 5 things that you are grateful for this year, 2. Ask Him if it be
His will to bless the missionaries who are waiting to go home this Christmas
season who should have been home by the 4th and the ones trying to come home by
the 18th (including me) and 3. Whatever else your heart desires. I would be so
grateful for your support!
Things have been more crazy than usual this week. Mainly
because my schedule looked like this.
Monday: Prepare for Christmas Conference.
Tuesday: Christmas conference for the 1st half of the
mission (all day)
Wednesday: Mission Leadership Conference (all day)
Thursday: Christmas Conference for the 2nd half of the
mission (all day)
Friday: Prepare for transfers… + Meeting with President
Saturday: P-Day+ Christmas Party at Quirino 1st ward
(song presentation)
Christmas Conference! Was simply the best, besides the
fact that I had to MC the whole thing. I
introduced all of the songs and skits we performed per zone and the gift
exchange numbers with games and everything! I feel like I had the most exercise
in the longest time because I was running around so much taking care of
everything. Man, you’d think with 3 APs
things would be easier! Haha! Well, it
was a fun time. I have some pictures but most of them are in the office
computer. What I mainly have are videos which you’ll have to wait for if you
would like to watch. Haha! They are
funny! We were also able to watch a nice Christmas movie like last time that
was heartwarming and everyone loved it. We were kind of nervous cause we never
really watched it and we decided to go with it. Luckily, it was good! However,
one of the missionaries got a little too excited from the party and we had to
take him to the hospital. That was not fun but he ended up okay in the end.
Wednesday was the Mission leadership conference and we
met with all of the zone leaders and sister trainer leaders to discuss the new
changes. It took all day. And since I was going home, President sent me to take
care of a few errands with Sister Revillo and another elder for preparation for
the next day’s Christmas conference. I got to drive President’s car! O.o It was so nice! It was a Hyundai Santa Fe and
it just glided over the street. It was great! Then we did the same thing on
Thursday as we did Tuesday with different people. I got a women’s perfume one
day for the exchange gift which I quickly traded for a teddy bear, then the
next day I got razors… saying (too bad), I just bought one the week before.
Next week will be transfers, exit day, and of course, my
last day in the field. I will spend the next few days organizing with my
companions all of the logistics of the whole transfer week and such. No time to
falter now! Just keep on going to the end! And if my end is extended then be it
so by the Will of God. And if it be His will that I shall be home at the right
time, then it shall come to pass. Mosiah 2:41 please read and ponder until we
shall meet again! I love you,
goodnight!!
Doing you Proud,
Elder Froude ^_^
