I am glad to hear that everyone is doing good! It sounded like a really relaxed week to enjoy with school finishing up this week I am sure that everyone is ready for summer! That is cool to hear that Brother Tilley gave the key note address! He really has a way with words and he is a great story teller so I am sure it was great! :) Congrats to Megan and her promise ring scholarship! That is interesting, I didnt know they did that! But then again I was never smart enough to be considered for such a scholarship haha! Also congrats mom on your final grade :) I am sure it feels good to focus only on speed for a little bit now! This week is Megans birthday and I cant belivieve she is turning 17! But she is growing up and it is awesome! :) I hope she enjoys her birthday and my gifts :)
Well this week was alright! We started out great but then my companion got sick and that hindered our work a little, then it was rainy so that hindered it a little more, and then on Saturday we had interviews with President McM and we were the last ones so we had to wait from 10 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon! While we were waiting we had a little reunion with the assistants and that only lasted until 12 so we were waiting around for 4 hours! My interview was good! We talked a lot and it was good to vent to him a little about a few of my concerns so I was grateful for his time! It switched from spanish to english like 30 times poor president was probably confused but it requires more thought to speak in English than in spanish!
So the productive things that I did this week! Firstly we have been really working with Pat.. She has the date of may 24 for her baptism and she is still having some doubts. Yesterday we taught her the Book of Mormon and its role and importance. She seemed to accept it fine but the important thing is that she needs to read! This is something she struggles with but we are going to really press it hard. Also one of the little girls that we were preparing for saturday also fell and was baptized in the Catholic church :( we had been really working with her and her mom but in the end the influence of the Mom won and she was baptized in the other church! This really made me sad! She is really young, only 9 years old. So it was hard for me to want her to trust the missionaries more than her own mom...so it was a tough situation and a tough loss!
Well this week we had a service project and it has been a long time! The project, trim the tree at the top! Holy moly this tree was GIANT! I have no idea how I climbed up it! I guess I was really excited. The worst part was when we finished I couldnt get down I was so scared! So please enjoy the picture haha.
Well I sent off another letter today! But I am sorry for how short this letter is, not a lot happened this week! But I love you guys and I pray for you all the time! I will write you next week!
Love,
Elder Milton
