I got the stocking package. My will power will be exercised to the max to leave it uninvestigated till Christmas. We're starting to get pretty stoked on Christmas. We're doing this massive Christmas Program in the Plaza. Sister Turk is going nuts. were getting flood lights and spots and full sized stables and choirs and santa claus and all kinds of madness. Ask me who has to find and purchase all this random stuff while living in a slightly less than modern country?... this guy. Guess who's stressed... But it's gonna be awesome. We're doing Seize the Day from Newsies. It's gonna be tight. Glasgow’s gonna be David and I do the drum line thing. Anyway it's madness. You'll see videos one day.
K here's the thing about this week. Remember last change when I got hit by "the curveball?" The curveball has officially come full circle and made contact with the back side of my head. Allow me to explain. I've been the financial sec. for almost one change now. We all knew Glasgow had to go out next change because he's going home in like two changes. So we've all been guessing at his replacement all change because we know they're gonna be my companion for a long time and we all have to live together, so anyway, we're pretty interested in it. So Monday-ish, I get the year end budget reports and go in to go over it with President... blah blah money blah. Then President asks me if I'm feeling all settled in and such. “Yeah, feelin good, yeah”. Then he says, “Well I've felt you've been underutilized where you're at right now so... we're gonna have you train a new financial sec. and at the same time train you to be the Personal Sec.” Straight blindsided. So now I'm training Elder Richards to do the financial stuff and get set for Christmas but at the same time I gotta be trained to do Glasgow's job, which President informed me was "the most difficult job in the mission." So my terror level's at about 8 right about now. Crazy right? So I'm gonna be doing travel, health and President's schedule. You guys could maybe like... pray for me a lot or something. Cause if I mess up, really bad stuff happens. Like deportation. Or, like... death.
So that's where we're at this week, fam. It's madness up in Peru land.
Later famisky,
Elder Brian

Life as a Financial Secretary
"As far as financial secretary stuff in concerned. Yeah. I like it just fine. Sometimes it's weird to not go out working all the time. But we get to do cool stuff (just came from a super pituco dinner with Pres. for my day of birthing). And no, I don't feel like a big deal. I am a big deal. My homies down here are all high rollers. Examples- sonja, check out lady at wong's grocery store. we're bff's; Melisa, gives me my ticket at movistar (phone company), laughs at me when I sing the one taylor swift song they play on an endless loop all day; and last but not least Sebastian, who tells me which line to stand in at the bank, we have a secret handshake. So yeah. I'm big news down here."
