La Gira . . . Two Down, One To Go

This transfer we are doing a total of 3 giras (La gira is what we call it when the office travels the mission to put on conferences, generally happens once every 6 weeks and its always the busiest and most hectic week, other than transfer week.) We usually leave on a gira for 3 to 5 days. During these 3 to 5 days I am constantly working to set up conferences or participate or do whatever random last-minute errands need done.

This transfer we are doing 14. Which, simply put, is a lot of work. For a quick list...

Then we took pday again on Saturday, only 5 days later, but in reality I hadn't had a real pday for a couple weeks. So if my email writing is weird or inconsistent, sorry haha. Anyway... I have had some crazy weeks. During the whole Christmas conference and end of year period, I got pretty b...
