Hello family!
So it´s kinda weird writing you when in just a couple of days we will be talking face to face, but no biggie, I´ll write anyway. I loved the picture of Peter Pan! It looks like it was super fun. And Ammon, don´t sweat the smaller role, just remember that´s it´s just your junior year. Next year you´ll be leading man in all the shows. And I´ll be there to see them. Weird. But I suppose that´s life. So to father´s request, I´m going to tell you about a normal day. I get up at 7 like normal, and from that point until about 9:30 everything is normal missionary. Getting ready, personal study. Then we head into the office. I have enough work that I could be in here all day every day and never get it all done. Organizing of files, different projects that I would like to do and always the constant phone calls from all the missionaries asking for money and help. But it´s fun. The normal things I do are to pay for the utilities of the 90 apartments we own and refund some money to missionaries and journal. Not sure if you all know what journaling is, but is basically just the technical accounting away to know where all our money is going. I have to journal everything. Every single cent that goes or comes into the mission, I know about. Kinda fun. But sometimes not really at all :) Lots of work though. From that point onward, it all depends in the day. Some days we eat a small lunch in the office and continue working until like 5 or 6 other days we eat at 4ish and other days we just forget to eat all together. We usually try to get some proselyting time in, and usually we get a few visits, but sometimes we are here in the office all day. Those are the long days. We also try to be done with everything on the normal schedule. At about 10 we finish and by 11 we´re in bed. Usually we´re pretty good with that, but sometimes things happen and we are up later. During transfers I hear they are often up until almost 2 in the morning getting everything figured out. But we´ll see how much truth there is in that when we get to a transfer. But that´s my life right now. We work hard, but on pdays we play hard too. Today we went bowling, which was a lot of fun, and you know all about the monkeys, so that is fun too. Sadly I believe I would be arrested and thrown into a British rocky island prison if I stole one of their monkeys. But we´ll just buy one when we get home :) Oh and the monkeys bite. They bit my comp actually. Kinda funny. So I hope you have a wonderful next couple of days and I´m super super excited to talk to you all. Keep up all the good work with all you are doing there (basketball, drama, physiology).
Love you lots,
Elder Flint
