Scripture of the week john 12:26.
Ok so i am so stinkin excited to write this email to tell all you guys what elder zilles will be doing this coming transfer. Lets just keep in mind that this is only my third transfer in the mission! We got transfer calls on saturday night, and i didnt sleep a wink that night, i was very tired yesterday at church, and then you add fasting and no sleep together, yeah it was not a goood combination. But anyway, enough beating around the bush. Your son Elder Zilles will be TRAINING. Yes training a new missionary fresh out of the MTC. Do you now see why i am slightly freaking out and wicked nervous? I am still so new in the mission and i am being trusted with training a new missionary. Its absolutely crazy crazy. Wow im getting the worries just sitting here talking about it. But dont get me wrong i am sooooo excited for this opportunity. But please everyone be praying extra hard for me and my new trainie this week and probably most likely for the next six weeks as we figure out how we are going to run things here in lyndon. Its a huge change. Elder Chen has been here in Lyndon for 9 months, that is a wicked long time to be in one area. Its going to be so fun.
Yesterday i bore my testimony and felt very strong that i just needed to be bold and tell the ward that we are going to turn this area upside down.
So yeah i will be training a new missionary. Tomorrow at 645 am we are heading to transfer meeting in manchester, the gregorys are driving us down so that will be super fun, ill have a quick trainers meeting with president, then i will find out who i am training and then we will head back to do the wonderful work in lyndon. So please once again pray for me and my new missionary. Our bishop made me feel really good about it. Everyone else in the ward was like how can you train you are a greenie your self. And bishop tucker said "i often have to remind myself that Elder Zilles is so young in the mission, because he does work like he is a seasoned missionary." and last week he saw president wilkey and he told him that "the best missionaries in the mission are serving in his ward" so the bishop likes us, which makes the work so much better. Wow im nervous to be training though. Any advice from anyone would be helpful.

My doctors appointment is at 4 today, its about an hour drive to get there, as far as how bad my toe is, its gotten alot better, it only hurts usually at the end of the day now, and some days doesnt even hurt, but it swells up by the end of the day, so i figure i still best get it checked out.
Church was reallly really good yesterday. Testimony meeting was great. And The gorhams came again, also Jinny came for the first time so that was awesome. Tina a former investigator showed up as well and wants to start taking the lessons again. So in a round about way i guess elder chen and i did find our new investigator for the week.
i miss cows a whole ton, its honeslty probably the thing i miss the most, everytime we see a dairy we stop and knock it usually just so i can smell it. Found one registered holstein herd that may let us come do service there so that would just make my day.
So uh whats the weather like back home, seeing how this is the first week of "spring". Has it been nice and warm and sunny? if it has then good for you guys i am very jealous. You can probably guess that it is not sunny or warm here. ive decided that the sun never shines in new england. And it snowed a foot and a half this week. Tuesday our cars were grounded so we had to walk alot. We walked about 12 miles in a blizzard it was great. we played snow ball football on the back roads. while we tracted of course.
Well i think thats about all i have for you guys today, hope i didnt miss anything important. we will talk to you next week. O and dont worry wer have an easter dinner invite to the Jablonskis so that will be very fun.
Love you guys, keep on keepin on.
Elder Zilles.
