Well its easy to say that it feels nothing like Christmas here. Its extremely hot and I'm turning into an African. We started off this week with meetings with president and mine wasn't what i was expecting. Normally its just to see how I'm doing and we joked around and had some fun with stories because my mission president acts a bit like a kid. He asked me to say the prayer to open it up and when I finished he said Elder Richardson I have one question for you. I of course said yes, what is it president
while I was on the edge of my pants because I didn't know what was coming and he asked me if I was ready to train. I told him that I'm not looking to be a trainer, I came out here on my mission to serve the people and help everything that I can and if the Lord needs me to do something on the way then I am going to do it. When we went to the conference in Iquique he told a story to all of us missionaries saying he had an experience this week that reminded him of his mission. He said that everyone told him he was going to be an assistant and he had began to cook that up in his mind. When the next assistant finished his mission another assistant was called and it wasn't him and he was extremely hurt. Everyone said it was okay because the other assistant is going to finish his mission this next month. My president again got his hopes up but yet again he didn't become the assistant. He asked his mission president to have a meeting with him and the president began to talk to him and asked him why he decided to serve a mission.
After thinking he began to cry realizing he had been so preoccupied thinking of being an assistant that he forgot his purpose as a missionary. That next week he got a call from the mission president about the cambios and he was called to be an assistant to the mission president in the new mission because this is when his mission got split in two. So he became the assistant of the mission Argentina Salta mission. He told us not to look for those callings but to do what the lord needs you to do and it really impressed me
