SO to start out this email with a funny story...In the office I was able to learn a lot of things, one being the schedule of the Secretary(knowing what he does, what days in which weeks) so this week I knew he would be trying to call me (Elder T) being week 3 of the change to find out my ¨final destination¨ and so this week I avoided his calls for 4 days and having people mislead him so he couldn't get a hold of me to coordinate my flight plans. Haha well after 4 days of frustration I finally called him back and he was happy and asked me if I was ready, so I told him yes and he asked ¨Elder Milton, what is your final destination?¨ and I responded honestly ¨The Celestial Kingdom¨ haha. So he finally got me and I asked him if I could please land in Tuscon, Arizona! I am surprised that he was able to get it done so fast but now the secret is out!
I am glad that all is going well for Kali and Kody! I hope they continue to progress in their Faith In God! I still have my book and I laugh at my first Testimony I wrote! Also The Al Fox Carraway lady sounds cool! I would like to read her book as well!
The week was really busy! We have to do at least two divisions every week so that makes it a little filled! But also this week we had Zone Trainings, which something that Elder R. and I had to get together to plan to focus on what we were going to teach the Zone during interviews with President McM. So we decided to teach about Dispensations and Apostasy. That was on Friday, and it was a good training, it was awesome to practice and see how the zone teaches and to learn and teach them how to be better! At the end of the Training I finally had my interview with President (last as always!) and it was really good, he told me he was happy to see me out of the office...then he laughed and said that could be taken two ways, the way he meant was that he was happy that I was back in the field working hard. So that was funny! We shared some good stories and he made sure that I would finish these last months off right and of course I told that was how I was planning!
On Saturday we had a very special baptism! One of the recent converts named A. A. was able baptize his son named I, and we have been able to teach him since I got here! Poor A. was so nervous to baptize his son that he begged that one of us would do it, but we bore our testimonies that he needed to do it, and that it would be unforgettable! So he agreed and did a perfect job! It was a very special spirit, and now the whole family are members and preparing to enter in the temple next year!
Sunday was a special satellite conference, but before we got special permission to confirm I. beforehand. So I. went up and asked me to confirm him...I was so nervous! The whole District of Mariano was there, 300 or more people! But the Lord blessed to calm my nervous and the confirmation was excellent and I felt the Lord speak through me! After, the conference was really good and talked mostly about Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. So I enjoyed it and everyone needed to hear it!
As always, I enjoy countless blessing of health and energy to name a few. I know that the Lord is hearing our prayers and blessing us! Thank you for always keeping me in your prayers and thoughts. I am still working my hardest and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I love and pray for you all! I will write you more next week!
Love Always,
Elder Milton
