Today I was pretty hectic and I didn't even do anything again. I feel like I ran around with my head cut off. I went on splits with Ст. Blackwelder to service and then to a meeting with Ст. Gammon. It was with Pres. Карнеев. [Karneyev - He was the District President - which in a mission with no stakes is equal to a Stake President]
[Mini Russia Moscow Mission Lesson - Remember that district means two different things.
- A group of missionaries & the area that those missionaries work in. In the Russia Moscow mission that was usually 6 - 10 missionaries. Each missionary district (at least in Moscow itself) corosponded to a branch. So right now Ст. Gammon & I were in the Yuzhnosokolnichesky district & serving in the Yuzhnosokolnichesky branch.
- All of Moscow (and maybe the whole mission) was one District. In Idaho there are so many Stakes that I cross 3 of them just on my 10 minute drive to work. But I could travel for an hour on the metro and still be in our Mission/District. Think of the Moscow Mission & Moscow District as different jurisdictions like FBI & State Police. They might cover the same areas, but report and are organized under different parts of the same institution.]
I was just thinking. Like a football team. We are all on the team & the Lord is up [in a] box on top of the stadium where he can see the whole picture. He talks to the couch who is the prophet, he also talks directly to the quarterback who is Pres. Jarvis and if we do what he says we will score many touchdowns. Amen!
