Training

Hey everybody,

So being a trainer is alright, the parts that you have got to love is the drive and enthusiasm of a new missionary and their desire to be obedient and gain a stronger testimony.  

The parts you dont love is the fact that brand new missionaries are scared half to death when it comes to talking to people out on the street or when we are contacting someone in their home or things like that.  

I have been really disappointed in my self lately because I have been so focused on being obedient and working as hard as possible and being a good trainer that the days are flying by and we are haveing so much success in finding people it is ridiculous.  At times I have to tell my companion to be grateful for the people we are finding because usually it is 1 maybe 2 people every other day instead of a family of 3 or 4 every single day. haha

So for thanksgiving I was like jealous to the max of all of you guys but it was such a tender mercy we ate at the relief society presidents house and she was like so I heard about dia de gracias so I made a lot of food for you... but I dont understand why you guys just eat to celebrate.  So I explained it to her and oh wow was the food good! I was really happy.  

Being the district leader is not really what it is all cracked up to be... It was basically like being the zone leader in the MTC all you free time is filled with telephone calls, traveling all over the district and between the two cities and going to be late.  But I have had some special experiencias and have definitely recieved special blessings and help being the District Leader. 

Like I said we have been having a lot of success as of late and I just pray that it continues because the last couple of days have FLOWN by and being a missionary is always so much easier when the time flies and you are busy.  

Anyway hope everybody had a good thanksgiving I miss you all, hope you are all living it up in St. George... Thanks for all the emails.
