So, this week was awesome!! I GOT TO MEET AN APOSTLE!! on saturday, we got up super early bcuz we had to be at the franklin stake center by 9am. and it takes like almost 2 hours to get there. But at 9am we took a mission picture :) it had all the missionaries, it was awesome! i put it up on facebook, so you can see it there. Then at 10, is when it all started, from 10am-12am, we had a meeting with Elder Christofferson. So it was just him, his wife, president and sister McKee, and a 70. i forgot the 70s name, but he lives in lexington, KY haha.
anywho, Elder Christofferson is so funny!! he was craking jokes left and right!! He talked to us a lil about how we always need to be in tune with the spirit, and how we are all companions and need to help each other out. Before he did his talk though, he had each of us go up and shake his and his wifes hand. it was awesome!! I shook his hand and he was like "Elder Cawley" so i said "Elder Christofferson" hahaha. i said that his nephew was my neighbor at home and he was like "oh very interesting. tell them i say hello" and then he was on to the next person. i was like YEAH!! i had a convo with Elder Christofferson!!! hahaha.
Then he opened it up to a Q & A. so he was asked certain questions and he the other people to answer the questions. and after Pres Mckee answered a question and sat back down, the pulpit was super short bcuz Sister Mckee is short, so he turned to Elder McDermott (who is an AP that was controlling the pulpit) and said "hey captin kurk can you raise this thing up??" and we all just started busting up hahaha. i almost peed my pants. and then Pres Watson came in with his wife. He is a counsler to President McKee. And Elder Christofferson knew Pres watson when they lived here and he said to him "i remember when they were teenagers, they married young, how young was she Pres watson when you married her... 13??" hahahahahhaha again, we all started laughing. It was just so awesome to see an Apostle of the Lord cracking jokes left and right, yet he knew when to be serious.
Thats what im working on still, how to determine the line when to have fun and be funny, and when to buckle down and work haha. Transfers are on tuesday, but we are not going, we are staying the same haha. I have been made district leader over this district now though :) so that is exciting :):) Pres told me that i was going to lead this district and something amazing would happen. He told me that he recived revelation that our district is going to be a double didget baptizing district. We only have 3 companionships, but im not doubting him haha. he is super in tune with the spirit. That is about all that is going on in the mission right now :) i love yall!! stay safe and remember....
Peace n Blessings!!!
Elder Cawley
