I am super pleased to read that everyone had another good week! :) you guys sound so busy! So I hope that everyone still finds time to share some family time! I am so proud of Mom for passing her test! That is super amazing! I cant believe that you are typing that fast already! I am super touched that Jeff was able to ordain Mike! That must've been really awesome. Please tell Mike congrats and give him a big hug for me!
President Sanders sounds like he gave a really good talk! I wish I was there to listen to it! I love the fish he chose to categorize the different kinds of people! I might have to steal some of his ideas! :) So for Mike what are going to be some of his assignments?? I am interested to know what Wards he is going to visit and all that good stuff!
Well the office sometimes get super crazy with random changes and it all literally happens over night! My office trainer left me with a missionary that had some problems and couldnt return to his old area for 2 days...well after that President decided he would be a new office Elder and now my new official companion is the Finance office Elder! His name is Elder B. from Utah! We always work together in the office so it made perfect sense to be companions! Let me just say that my area is a MAZE and it is SUPER fancy...it is so hard to teach anyone! The people dont have time or they are super tough...and I have gotten lost so many times in my area this week! Plus super rainy, but we are working good together and we are super happy to be companions! He is my district leader so I am super excited to learn from him!
Well like I said, I am 100% now in charge of my job, and so far it is going good! I had one landlord just get super angry! To the point of talking to President in person because she refused to talk to me! Luckily it wasnt anything that I had done! And lucky that President has a lot of patience so we were able to solve it all. And the hunt is coming to an end for the new mission nurse house! We found one and we just lack a few documents to move in so I am relieved to get that taken care of! I have a lot of housing stuff to do this week, I have 30 house contracts to renew! So my work is piled up for me and the struggle continues between the office and proselyting. Mission stats aren't doing too good, President asks me often what do I think we can do to help the missionaries and to help them work more effectively and sometimes I don't know what to say! I thought President was all knowing and to see him ask for advice or suggestions makes me see the more human side of him and his humility. It is really neat and something I never thought of before!
R. is doing good! He came to Sacrament last Sunday which was super awesome! I only got to visit him once this week which was this morning and we were able to talk a little about Jesus Christ and why he is necessary for us. He has read all the Book of Mormon and all the Bible but just believes that Jesus was some religious figure and nothing more. As we explained to him today what Jesus atoned for he understood it all, but it doesnt make sense to him or doesnt seem logical. So I admitted to him that I didn't know everything or that I was pretending to know God's intentions, but I did bear my testimony of Jesus Christ and his role in our lives, and then we invited him to pray to ask God if Jesus really is as the Scriptures make him out to be: The only Begotten son of the Father. So we are expecting him again tomorrow! I am super excited to help him and hope that the spirit touches his heart!
Other than R, I got lost a lot and more rejected than ever! But I am doing good and I am super excited for General Conference! I will be able to watch all of it next week! So I hope everyone prepares for that and I want everyone to tell me their favorite talks! So pay close attention :) thank you so much for your prayers and your love! I love you so much and I will write you more next week!
Love Always,
Elder Milton
