Our mission president has asked us if we could help out with some of the tasks as we are available to help.
We went to a meeting this morning at the mission office to get assignments for service needed with the transfers and process. Our assignment was to pick up an elder in Kennewick this afternoon.
We like being there and see President Greer in action. He has a huge responsibility and has some talents and able Assistants to make the mission work well. It is impressive to see the elders take charge and support their leader. It is refreshing to me to see these young men be so responsible in their callings.
Ron checked the address and how we should get there. We arranged to pick the elder up in East Kennewick at 5:30 to be at the mission home at 6:00. We seemed to get lost with the map and instructions according to how the map showed where to go.
It began to be evident that we were not getting to where we were supposed to be. We called the elder and he redirected us. I told Ron that he could probably direct us a faster way to get back. We took a freeway route and only got him there about twenty minutes later. It took us about 40 minutes to get there and only about 15 minutes to get to the mission home.
There is more than likely an easier way, one that is more direct as long as we choose to follow the right road to begin. What a lesson of life.
