We made it to our first P-Day and it has been a week for the whole zone! If you guys haven't received my previous (but very short email.) I was called to be the District Leader of my district. (There are two districts in our zone/branch.) That has been keeping me very busy... Yeah.
Anyways, my district consists of two Elder companionships and one sister companionship. The other district is the same. Not only are we very close as a district but also as a zone! We eat all our meals together at one table (including the sister missionaries.) and we all love to talk and joke around with each other. I can already see how amazing this zone is and, the best part, it's only going to get even more amazing.
My companion, Elder Williams, is amazing altogether! He's a firm believer of praying before we do anything and I know that he tries very hard to serve the Lord. We room with the other Elders in our district, their names is Elder Jensen and Elder Wolfe, and we get along with each other very well. (Such as agreeing to hit Elder Williams with a pillow when he snores at night. Ha!) We also get along with the Elders of the other district, too. They're in the room next to us and it seems like we never each other's side. (We are all actually in the computer lab write now writing to our families.)
However, we did have some troubles in our first week. On Thursday, Elder Wolfe got sick. I mean, vomiting and other symptoms. That led to total chaos for the whole day but we received a spiritual experience from it all. He asked us to give him a blessing, asking me to anoint the oil and his companion to give the actual blessing. It was my first blessing ever! Then, everyone kind of went over the edge yesterday. Their were problems in the zone every where... However, the leaders (including me, Elder Jensen and Elder Wolfe as the Zone Leaders, and another Elder called Elder Nicohls who was the other District Leader.) had a meeting to decide how we can help our district. The spirit was right there with us and revelation came pouring into our souls. We decided to hold a meeting for the whole zone and tried to see how everyone was doing and offered to anyone who wanted blessings at the end. I now know that God has called us Leaders for a reason, and, as long we are willing, he can use us for greatness.
Other then that, we had our temple walk yesterday! I'm not saying when we have our walks because they don't want any "unanticipated" meeting from families and friends. I must also insist that you guys don't try also. Haha. It was fun and it was a nice break from the every day stuff we do at the MTC. Still, I love the MTC and how it keeps me busy throughout the week.
I received a card the first day I got here saying that I'm returning home on the 21 of June of the year 2016. (return date 6/21/16.) Plus, we already received our flight itinerary and I'm leaving to go to the field on the 8th. Everything is happening so fast, I hope i'll be ready.
Well, please forward this email to anyone else who would like to hear from me. I hope to receive letters and emails from all of you soon enough!
Elder Willis
