It was an interesting week. I personally found out for sure that we were getting smartphones in the mission Wednesday afternoon when I saw the package in the Mission office. So that was cool. We helped set them up and put the screen protectors on the phones. Friday was a stressful but fun day. The night before, the Assistants called us saying they had just received a call from the President that we would be handing out the phones the next morning (Friday) to the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders. So, we coordinated a ride to the Mission office and we got more phones that we set up as much as we could. As Elder Crockett was putting screen protectors on, I was making an excel spreadsheet for the numbers to port over.
We ended up going to the Stake Center a few miles away so we could do our training, but then we called the T-Mobile guy in Utah about the situation of the SIM cards and he said they were ready to go. So, we got to drive one of the Zone Leaders’ cars, a Subaru, and that was nice. I’ve been used to a Rogue and a RAV4 and you can see so much more in a Subaru.
Anyway, we went to the T Mobile store and got the SIMs, went back and listened in MLC for about 20 minutes, did our training, and finished setting up the phones. Very stressful haha, but we got all the phones to the Leaders and then ate our lunch at 4:30 or so.
Also, today, Elder Crockett bought his own phone and put it into compliance. And, the phones activated today with Colorado numbers! 😂😂 They will be swiping to the correct numbers soon, though.
We did do proselyting this week, though. We went biking in the rain. We have no investigators right now, but we do have a potential, so we will find some people to teach this week.
There are a ton of people in this ward. I went from 40 people at church to 240 people at church! I’m not going to know all these people before I leave...
We went Disc Golfing today! It was slightly drizzling, but it was fun!
On Sunday, we were at an intersection and just left when the the rain just all of a sudden came. It was crazy... here we were on a peaceful cloudy day and the rain crashed down!
Also, I went pretty close to Chicago out of the Mission because our driver for the transfer van accidentally put the wrong address (city) in his gps. I was like, “I have never seen the city so big before...”
Love,
Elder Kloosterboer
