Hey everyone,
So one email is all i get? You people are slacking....
This week was fantastic. Everything with the new elders went smoothly and they seem like a good group. I remember how old my Zone leaders looked when i came in, so i asked the new elders how old i looked... they youngest I got was 21 and the oldest was 24 i think...ridiculously. i dont get it. But a few people asked me this week what i as a zone leader. my first responsibility is glorified babysitter. next would probably all the work we do with the incoming elders. Wednesday night when they first get here Elder Moser and I introduce ourselves and then talk to them about a few things for about 30 min and then take them back to our residence hall and show them our room and how it should look and the rules of the hall. then thursday night we teach them about how to study and some sother junk, and then give a tour of the mtc and all the different places they need to know. it was a lot of fun. We get a lot of stupid questions though, like "what kind of water do i put in the iron?" seriously?...
So the winner for Best letter of the week goes to, drumroll please, Casey Williams! His letter had me and E. Moser rolling on the ground laughing. It was hilarious. Also I heard that Ohio State lost to an unranked team...Sorry dad, that blows. But that means Oregon is number 1. Good stuff.
Well there has still not been an apostle come and speak to us. Im getting pissed about it. All the leaders say going 8 weeks with no apostle speaking is super rare, and it will be just my luck it goes 9 weeks without one and i miss him by one week. If i leave here without seeing one speak, im going to write a very angry letter or something...
Elder Moser was not feeling any better at the start of this week, but he refused to go to the doctor. So i told him we had a teaching sppointment with some other elders i met with and took a different route down to the doctor. he still gets lost after 7 weeks so i knew he wouldnt realize where we were going. When we walked in and looked at me and said "im going to kill you" i was already telling the recoptionist that my comp was very ill and needed to see the doctor asap. about an hour later he came out with a blank llok on his face. He said that the doctor thinks he has ulcers, and that his body is in a state of mal-nutrition from not eating enough and what not. the doctor also said that if he waited any longer chances were that he would have had to been hospitalized from it. Ya, he owes me one. Well the doctor said it was stress related so he sent him up to talk to the counsler. the counsler told him he has Obsesive compulsive disorder and needed to chill out or the uclers would get worse. I was like "wow, ive never known anyone in my entire life that stressed too much and had ulcers but refused to go to the doctor and nags me about everything!" (can you sense the sarcasim?) I love you Mom....
I know for sure now why Heavenly Father put me with Elder Moser...It is because Im probably one of the few Elders here that can handle his obsesiveness. But in reality we get a lot done because of it so i am extremely grateful. He is doing a lot better now.
This past Sunday was crazy. We didnt get properly trained as ZL's, so we had to figure it out on our own. As zl's you have to put together your branch's preisthood meeting and sacrement. Lucky for us, it was literally the one week out of the year that we were in charge of putting together the sacrement for the MTC Staff as well. So pretty much we had to put together two sacrement meetings and a priesthood meeting all within an hour when we found out. I had to conduct the MTC Staff meeting too...that was fun. NOT! But we got it all done and it turned out great.
Its crazy to think but we only have two weeks left. I will find out about my visa and where my reassignment is as early as thursday this week, and as late as wednesday next week. I will let you know as soon as i can. Im not sure if I can even do this, but i pray not to go anywhere in utah. But I will have a good attitude no matter where I go, that much I have already decided.
Well Im going to do my best to write a crap load of letters this week. so everyone be heads up on that. I didnt get as many letters as i normally do so lets fix that. I love all of you
Elder Kitterman
