Week 46: Busy...

Hello family,

Scripture of the week: Romans 8:28,31

Well hello there. Sounds like all is going well at home. I am sorry for the short email last week, and also sorry for the lack of hand written letters, I won’t have time to write any today either I am very very sorry. Being a Zone leader keeps me really busy, between zone leader stuff and regular missionary work i really have no time. Maybe one of these Mondays I will have time to write some letters. So please don’t give up on my I promise I still love you all the same, I just really am so swamped right now. So I’ll try to reply to the email and the letters in this email but I am sure I will miss some stuff.

So you asked some Questions about the Zone leader stuff. We are both Zone leaders. Its kind of cool there is no such thing as junior comp and sr comp we are both just zone leaders. We travel a lot and go to ALOT of meetings. We go to two district meeting each week, and every first Monday and Tuesday of the month we have to go to Manchester for Mission leadership meetings. So yes that is today and tomorrow so I really have no time today we have to leave to Manchester at 3. I’m excited to see how that all works though, so more details to follow next week.

So you say Essex doesn’t look very big, well compared to a city in the west it is not very big but for what i am now used to it is HUGE. And yes it does help to have Burlington 10 minutes away. We cover Essex, Essex jct, Jericho, and like 3 other small town. The polls really only teach classes so they don’t do much actual proselyting. Over in the Burlington ward they have a set of elders and sisters. Fletcher Allan med school is over in Burlington so that’s why we have all of the med students.

I must say i love this ward. They are so good at doing missionary work. We had 9 non members at church yesterday, and all but two of them were brought by the members. Things are really going to start to take off here in Essex, I’m super excited for it. its really cool having the polls right across the hall, and it was so funny you called right when we walked into their apartment, ha what a treat. Elder poll gives us sports updates and other necessary things like that.

Elder Simkins and i get along great. He is doing really well at not being trunky so that makes things really nice.

well i am sorry this is so short, but i really gotta run and get other stuff done before we have to leave to Manchester.

Love you guys

 Elder Zilles
