The Saddest Thing

Last Tuesday we had interviews with President
Stucki. I was SO EXCITED because I knew he would tell me I'm training. I
really had no doubt. Then, we talk about some things. Then he says,
"You know, Sister Mecham, it's always been my plan for you to train
these last two transfers. But the Lord has a different plan for you. The
Lord has called you to serve as a Sister Trainer Leader... again." My
first thoughts were: NOOOOOOOOO. Then he noticed the little tears
welling up in my eyeballs. "How do you feel about that, Sister Mecham?"
"President, I was really hoping to train." "I know, I wanted you to,
too. But that's not God's plan." Bam. And with that, I can't say it's
not right. Even though this whole week I've been murmuring a little. But
really, I'm over it. I'm called to serve as a missionary and my Father
in Heaven will use me here how He wants me to be used. I'm just a tool, I
know.
Other than that, this week was great! I got stomach
flu, but that only kept me indoors for a bit. I didn't tell anyone so no
one could force me to stay inside! Don't worry, I'll rest when I'm
dead.
Oh yeah, HOLY WEEK. Holy Week is crazy here. They
close EVERYTHING on Friday. But everything is open again on Easter
Sunday. It's a little backwards. But on Friday that have Procession
which is a huge parade thing in the evening where every Catholic in
Paranaque (which is many) follows around statues as they are paraded
around town. It backs up traffic, but no one seems to mind.
This week was awesome. I realized again the reality
of the Spirit. Things come out of my mouth that seem a little unusual to
me, but it really helps people. It's crazy. Not because of me, but
because of the Spirit. It's because God loves the people we're trying to
help.
UPDATE: What president stucki told me was
confidential... But our district leader just texted and said no one is
transferring. Hm! I'll let you know next week what actually happened to
us!
nang pagmamahal,
Sister Mecham
