Hey everyone,
This week went really well. Felt like it took a long time for some reason. Our new classroom is freaking sweet. Its on the 5th floor and looks out over the rest of the mtc, and because provo is on a hill and the mtc is near the top, I can see most of BYU and provo. We were lucky enough to get a classroom with a few windows. From one part the the building i can see a piece of BYU's nasty blue track, and although its ugly, it depresses me. i stay away from that window. I mis track and randomly ask elders from my zone if they want to race coming back from gym or something.
I got all of the other menifee elders' email, and wow. It seems like they are all doing especially well right now! Nick's story about the police force going on strike or something and the stores all being broken into and the gunfire....that legit. Andrew seems like he is on spiritual steriods or something... i need to get me some of that. They were all so good but i have limited time to email!
Well this past week elder Moser and I were made the new Zone leaders. A zone is comprised of 3-5 district, and a district is comprised of 8-12 elders. We are now in charge over our zone. I guess somebody upstairs didnt think I was having enough trouble handling just spanish, and on top of the Elder Moser has been feeling really under the weather lately. Like 15 trips to the bathroom a day, under the weather. He has lost 10 pounds, not good. So im afraid that i will have to shoulder most of the load for a little while. My district is now the "oldest" district in the zone, and on wednesday and thursday elder moser and i have to show the incoming elders the ropes. im really excited for this because i really looked up to my zl's when i came in.
Luckily our zone is made up of some of the best elders around. I wont have to babysit, which is good because i have so much to do already I probably wouldnt handle a disruptive elder with much patience. Spanish imporves everyday, little by little. We had our first full lesson in spanish in the trc this past thursday. Can anybody say "gift of tounges"? i know i can- and in two languages to boot.
Casey everlovin Birchard finally wrote me, so sierra wont need to kill him. But on that note, the old Zone leaders are leaving a week sooner than our branch pres thought so this means i dont have the normal week long trainging as a new zl, i only had a one day training. so because of this i have to go to a bunch of meetings today, on my p-day. not too happy boiut that... this unfortunetly means i will proably not have time to get a lot of letters out. Dont worry mom, yours will arrive promptly on wednesday, along with sierras and kims. they might be short buts all i have time for. I love everyone that wrote me this week. Im probably jyxning myself saying this, but i have yet to go one day without a dear elder, and for that i am extremely grateful. please keep it up.
On a depressing note, the zone that just lext all got reassigned to the staes because they were mexico elders as well. there was one elder who was from california and he got reassigned to provo, just like the district' only california elder before them. im screwed. But maybe i will get to say hi to kiera and connie... I hate utah...
I wont find out where im going till aboiut a week before im supposed to leave. so yes mom, there is a 90% chance i will be in the states for thanksgiving. im happy about that, not about the utah thing though...ugh!
I still don't need any more food. i know your sending some tomorow, so i will have plenty still after that. maybe i will give a little too the new district... who knows. Emily has asked a few times about the dance thingy, and my answer is "I dont see why not, but Im definetly not her mom or dad" -you can quote me. Its really up to sarah and michael. sorry if that doesnt help.
Well im out of time. Pray for me and my new zone. I love everyone!
Elder Kitterman
