6/10/13 from Elder Mitts

It has been an amazing week! Got my new companion, Elder Morgan, who is from Georgia, fresh Greens straight from the MTC! He has got to be one of the most humble guys I have every has the privilege of coming into contact with. he is going to be such a powerful missionary when I am done with him. Muahahahahahahaha! no but seriously he is great. He is so ready to learn and is void of pride in the work. We are so excited because we are also working with sisters. They are an inspiration, they are extremely hard working and exceptionally caring. They are so much fun to work with, and we get to keep them all to our district. the rest of the zone doesn't have any sisters yet, but they probably will get some next transfer.

My faith has been tested this week, and my capacity has grown. I just finished my own training last week, and now I am responsible for training my new companion, being the model area in my district, and helping all of the companionships in my area improve their efforts, so I went from basically taking care of myself, to having responsibility over my companionship and 2 others, who are both training as well. It can be a little overwhelming at times, but so far so good, and I know the Lord is helping me. I am so excited to go through this training program again with a new Elder. I feel like I am still learning it.

We have a new zone leader as well, an Elder Bottorf. He is a really cool guy, very solid in his knowledge and testimony of the gospel. I lead the District meetings and he was there for this weeks, practicing with Elder Morgan while I was giving advice to all the groups. super cool to see all of the elders and sisters work.

I have a feeling we are going to have a baptism soon. I dont know where it is coming from but hey, FAITH!

I Love you all so much and appreciate all the prayers and everything else you do for me.

Love,
Elder Mitts
