Yep this email is coming at ya hot on a Saturday! It's because today is my P-day! Now I know what you're all thinking, P-day is always Monday! Well not anymore! I actually don't have an official p-day anymore! It's just whenever I have time, this week it just happens to be Saturday. Now this is happening because I am going to be the next Financial Secretary of our mission. That is why I was emergency transferred to Bogotá. I'm here with Élder Miller(The current Finance secretary) and Élder Willes(the current Migration secretary). We are in a trio while Élder Miller teaches me all the stuff I´m in charge of. Basically I'm in charge of all the money in the mission. I'll handle the Mission's credit cards, I'll do all the "Reembolsos" or Reimbursments of all the missionaries in the mission, and I also cover all the "Pensionistas" who are the people that feed the missionaries lunch. It's going to be pretty hard but I'm excited to start learning. I did some Reembolsos the other day, not super hard but it takes forever, I was doing it for like 4 hours haha. I also paid some Pensionistas which was cool too. I'll be learning more as the weeks go along, that's why I'm here with Élder Miller he's going to teach me how to do everything.
Secretaries always have emergency transfers like this because you have to get trained how to do your new job It's not like normal when you can just leave an area and then go to the next one. So over the next couple of weeks I'll be basically studying and learning how to do this job! I'm pretty excited, even though it is a little different. I'll be working in a office almost always, we work in the mission offices( Mom I work at the address where you send the packages) in the North of Bogotá, our apartment isn't even in our mission; we live in the north mission. We don't even really have a schedule, one day we left the offices at 11pm because we had a ton of work! It'll be a little hard to adapt but I'm excited for the change! Honestly that's about it, I went to migraciones a lot with Élder Willes because we're in charge of getting all the Cedula's and Passports and all that good stuff. It's nice to be cold again! I've been wearing a jacket and it feels kinda weird honestly!haha. The food here is super good too! We went to the Hard Rock in Bogotá and I had Mac & Cheese for like the first time in a year! haha.
I also was in the offices when the mission on the fly service came so I got my package hand-delivered to me! Thanks Mom and Dad! My companion Élder Willes is literally in charge of all the packages in the mission so I'll always get my packages Mom! Well that's all from this week! I love and miss you guys! Hope you're all doing well!
Les Extraño mucho!
Élder McBride
