Good morning, friends, family, age-old-rivals. This is Elder Z.S.Weber, reporting in with another quick update on how life in the Colorado Fort Collins Mission is going for me and my companion, Elder Hale. And, well...do you remember how I mentioned (complained) about the brisk weather of autumn coming in? Well, apparently that brisk weather decided to disappear for a while, because the sweltering heat of summer us back again, and it really doesn't look like it's gonna be gone for a while. Not that I'm complaining or anything...I just find the weather here hilarious. And to think I thought the weather in Utah was bad!
Anyways, on with the week! Now, normally, I'd start the week off by talking about the service we did at EFAA. However, this week, things got switched up. See, late Monday night, we received a call from the Zone Leaders, telling us that we were going to be having a meeting the next morning at eleven o'clock, right when service starts. Apparently, we were finally getting the digital area books! About time! Though, with the meeting coming at such short notice, I'm afraid I was already relating this new missionary tool to negative thoughts and feelings. Looks like we were in for a great meeting tomorrow.
The meeting met literally all of my expectations from the last-minute call we'd received the night before. After we were all gathered together, and had downloaded the app onto our iPads (aside from Elders Hale and Olson, who are leaving in two weeks, and feel the app to be a waste of time for them), a pair of District Leaders that the Zone Leaders gad called on gave a presentation on how to use the app. It was an incredibly confusing app to learn the longer we went into the meeting, and at one point we all gave each other that plainly said, "isn't this supposed to be more efficient than the paper area books?"
Once our meeting ended, we were then given the task to convert all of the information from our paper area books into the app, with a deadline on this next Tuesday (tomorrow). Unfortunately, Elder Hale and I were unable to make much head-way on the task because that next evening we went in exchanges with our District Leader and his companion, Elders Westrup and Anderson. While Elder Hale stayed in our area with Elder Westrup, I went with Elder Anderson to theirs. Surprisingly, we didn't actually do much, due to service projects and District Meeting, so exchanges ended uneventfully, aside from the several rounds of Magic: The Gathering Elder Anderson and I waged against each other Wednesday night.
...hey, that's just what happens when you put two nerds together!
Anyways, the rest of the week passed by unassumingly, and now here we are, on another P-Day, which us looking to be less if a P-Day than I was hoping it'd be. Between finishing the work we have to do in the area book app, to helping our host family with service around their house, today's looking to be more hectic than normal. Oh well, I guess the work never truly comes to a break. Hope to hear from y'all again next week, though! Stay epic, my friends, and gave a great week!
