The One Where Lost Things are Found

Companion's Log 

Stardate: May 11-17, 2020

Today is my 8 month mark, wack. 

So once again, a week flies by! Had interviews with President and I  feel like we just did that! We studied (notably I have fallen back into confusion and self doubt, don't trust myself at all, especially in my ability to discern the spirit, but we'll keep pushing), hung out with missionaries (notably, played ticket to ride with Elder Arnold and Stanford, and played spike ball with all the sisters in the zone), and had phone and video call lessons (notably, the awesome one with a recent convert Aleecia) and we got the chance to do some service for Meredith and ended up talking to her through her open window for almost an hour.

That's about it this week, but get ready for this wild ride:

So since I was so unexpectedly yeeted to burley with sort notice, Elder Mortensen (who just went home at the end of last transfer, week ago) didn't get a chance to sign my transfer journal (like a missionary year book kinda). So I gave it to him when the Aps came to take our extra mattresses 2 weeks ago. He said he'd get it back to me, probably give it to Elder Jimenez with his journal too. Transfers come and go, Jimmy says the Aps didn't bring it 😬 so I'm nervous about that! But I know the Aps are busy boys, so I wait a while then message Wieder, he says he's never heard of it and doesn't know where it is! Morty says it's in the car, Wieder says they gave that car to Welch, luckily there's a multi-zone conference the next day so I message Welch to give it to Sister Stichart (bc I trust it in her hands more than Wieder's). 

Okay all good? Nope!

Welch can't find it in the car. So let's get down to business! I made a chat with all involved parties and after a lot of ridiculous and rather hilarious hassle turns out new Ap Elder Jeppson took them out of the car, exonerating Urritia even though it was his job to get them to us. So I don't yet have my transfer journal but should soon, for certain. 

Now why do I tell you all this? Bc it was entertaining and the most eventful thing that happened this week? Yes. But also bc I was reminded of another time that I lost a notebook, one that I never got back. I remember praying very sincerely that it would be returned to me. I felt a very sure faith that my prayer was heard and even got excited to see it again, even though it had been gone for years and seemed impossible, I knew it was within the Lords power, and even though it seemed small and insignificant. Problem is, I never did or said anything to get it back, never asked the person who ended up with it about it. At the start of this I was really nervous about if this would happen again, another notebook I care about that I'll just never see again bc who cares. I prayed too but this time I also took action and got things done. Faith without works is dead, we work with the resources already available to us.
