Scripture for the week John 20: 13-18.
Ok so that is the absolutely best easter present i have ever gotten in my life. Cutest little calf and i really miss my cows right now. I hope Zadee is able to stay healthy and keep her doing well.
We have lost tooooooo many heifer calves out of that magnificent cow, its about time we keep one alive. thanks so much for sending the pictures, that made my day.

Alright so im sure yall are ready to hear about the new companion and all of that exciting mumbojumbo. well....... Elder Zilles is training Elder Guinn from Roy Utah. This past week has been one of the hardest of my mission. Being a trainer is very tiring. I thought i was tired at the end of the days before i was training but this puts a whole new meaning to it. I have gained a whole new respect for elder chen because of it though. And i really miss him. Elder Guinn is very very quiet and its hard to get him to say more than two words. But i am not complaining about him. I know the Lord placed us together for a reason, and i intend to make the best of it. thank you for the faith you all have in me. please continue to pray for me. It is definately a new adventure but i love it.
so here is how the week went, tuesday we went to transfer meeting in manchester when we got there i had to go to a trainers meeting and elder chen went who know where. In the training meeting president wilkey talked to the 25 trainers and told us how sacred the calling we have been called to do is. He made us all promise to magnify it. He told us that the future of this mission lies on our shoulders. So that was some pretty intense things to hear, but definately made me want to magnify my calling. After our meeting we made our way into the chapel where the new missionaries and all the other missionaries were. All of the departing missionaries bore there testimonies and then they announced the new companionships. I was sitting by Elder Lund, who is from my mtc district, he is training as well. We are the two that came out in my flight group who are training. We were both totally freaking out. We decided we were more nervous at this transfer meeting than when we first got to the mission.
President called me up to the front and then said " Elder Zilles you will be staying in Lyndon... and you may be losing your car soon, but you will be training Elder Guinn." Yup thats about how it went, o keep in mind that we were like the last ones to get announced out of 26. There were 26 new missionaries and only 25 trainers, one of the sisters is training two other sisters. After that we took a few pictures and then headed back to lyndon to get to work.
(Three generations of Missionaries-Elder Guinn, Elder C, and Elder Q)
Zee sounds like a great name for the new calf. I cant wait to meet her in two years when she herself is a momma cow. That will be great.
My easter was absolutely amazing. Church was soooo goood. While sitting in sacrament i recieved this feeling of great peace and comfort. For the first time i honestly felt 100% at peace with being here. I now know for sure that i was called to the NHMM and to the lyndon area. As i sat next to the gregorys i jsut knew i am meant to be here it was the best feeling ever.
We had a wonderful dinner at the Jablonskis. I love that family so much. It was us Bro j Sis J and their little girl elli and sister js parents and grandparents, they made us feel so welcome. the Jablonskis shared some super exciting news. Well a few weeks ago brother and Sister Jablonski pulled elder chen and i aside and said they had some news to tell us, but we were the only ones that know and we couldnt tell anyone. They are having a baby.. Yuip so just like with sis and landon i was the first one to know haha. But last night they told all of us that were there.
The baby is due november 10th, i of course said it needs to be born on the 9th. so as far as im concerned i have a neice due and july and another due in november. its so exciting.
