Well my wonderful family, anyone who says 2 years is a long time is decieved, because it is not long at all. Just gonna tell you now, but i probably wont talk too much about coming home in this weeks email, but dont worry i do look forward to see yall i just dont feel like crying right now, so ill not really talk about it and ill just cry later.
So this week was good. I had the opportunity to go to Essex on exchange. It was precious. It was in a way like Heavenly Father saying that he is proud of me and the work ive done and he wanted to show me the fruits of my labors. I got to go see Brian and we were talking and he said "had you not been on a mission here i probably wouldnt have been baptized" now i dont think that is true, because he was very prepared so he most likely would have been baptized anyway, but it was still humbling to hear him say that. Also got to see Elvis and Catholic Pam. Both very good friends. Since i left Elvis stopped meeting with the elders and is very anti god in any way. But we had a lesson with him and at the end i ask him to pray and he actually did it. It is very humbling to be the instrument that our Father works through to touch the lives of his children. The greatest gift of my life. I love this gospel.
While i was on exchange, Elder Adams and Elder Parry met with our investigator and had a good lesson, he feels he needs to be more prepared for baptism so he is no longer scheduled for this weekend. Which is what is best. Wish i could be here to see it, but all that really matters is he is ready and fully prepared to make that sacred covenant with our Heavenly Father.
This week will be good. My last exchange ever will be with Elder Guinn, so thatll be sweet. today we are going bowling for district pday. And then the rest of the week is going to fly by far too fast. But im just going to give 110% till i get on the plane. and then i will probably crash, but thats ok im giving it all i have to give. Elder Adams tried to tell me it would be ok to let up a bit this last week so i wasnt so tired when i get home. I told him that was hogwash and that there is no reason to ever slow down and let up in the lords work. He has never let up on us, so why on earth would we ever let up on him.
Grateful to hear the first week of Christmas in weston went well. Glad you got fred and Ruth all set up. they are such good people.
Mom dont worry about having everything perfect. Dont worry about cleaning the barn, i have no problem cleaning the barn when i get home. Itll be good to get my hands dirty again. So please dont stress so much. Im not a celebrity coming home, just your son, so dont stress so much.
Grandpa Don is such an amazing man. I will have to make sure to drop him a note today.
Well Family, sorry this is short once again, im not sick this week, but my mind is just racing a million different directions so i hope you understand.
Sure do love you all.
Hold to the Rod
Elder Zilles
