Nomad JuanCa's Report

My day started early today, got a sms from my past boss saying she would meet me at the store to fix money report as final step for transition... so it was a two days transition... better say 3 hours transition in two days... welcome to the Ecuadorian way. Not like the entire months we have for transition within AIESEC. So we did it and it was all fine. Then the day started, my past boss was very protective, so everybody got used that she would make everything... invoices, money collecting and all that... but the problem is that my boss was totally dedicated to administration duties, she didn't have to sell as well like me. So today i decided... everybody will stand by himself. You sell, you collect the money, you make the invoice and you deliver the package to the client. I am thinking in making them to have individual accountability during their time of working inside the store so we will consolidate it once they are finishing their working schedule, looks like good idea, lets see.

Today we sold about 40 mobiles, i think it is a record... but there are some problems now... there is this promotion who is hot selling right now and the mobiles inside this promotion are ... totally gone... i think i have only 4 for tomorrow, which is nothing, we don't even have plastic bags!! That's a big problem for tomorrow and worst will be that as it is Sunday there will be none working on headquarters to help us and once they realise the problem will take them 1 or 2 days to send the mobiles we require.

mmm... don't know what to do... i beg God will help me out tomorrow...

Talking about God, i always think that when someone talks to us about him (God) it is a message from him directly, it happened today... the neighbour next to me who is living permanently in Italy is coming back for vacations, and today she called me to chat (like never before cause we were not friends when she left .... so many years ago) and talked about the differences about living in Parma and Guayaquil and so on, she was quite a difficult neighbour when she left... and there she found God (to express it in a way) and became protestant, she is a totally different person now, quite opened, calmed, not aggressive and thankful. That's what i like about christians... they learn to be thankful for everything and find good reasons to keep on moving forward.. well the things we talked about and i think God wanted to tell me were...

- One has to always thank for everything that happens in life, there are always tests before good things happen. Like my work, i was thinking in giving up cause i was tired of it and then... they promote me.

- People can change, none is so bad not to be changed by LOVE and even more if God's Love.

- One has to forgive people, if we want to be forgiven by God. Does not matter what someone does to you, you should pardon him/her 70 times 7.

There were several more things coming in during the conversation, i cannot put them all as it is 2.30am and i am still here and have to work tomorrow,... but everything was about related to my life, if you read my previous posts.. you will get to know why. The last thing i remember this conversation reminded me was...God is always there, does not matter if you feel it or believe it, he is always there, it is just us that we don't see or don't want to see him in everything happening around us.

Have a good night.
