Elder Gillette has been having a really difficult time adjusting to missionary life. He's just really sad all the time, that is a brutal attitude to have! So this week we went on another exchange with Tom and his companion. I got to be with Elder Harris again! I love that kid so much! I'd say between the three 24 hour exchanges we've had and all the time's I've giving him a ride and eatin with him in the last 4.5 months that we've spent and entire transfer's worth of hours together. He is so funny. His family just moved to Saint George from Washington so guess what....now we can actually be freinds when we get home! Yay!! He goes home 6 weeks before me and y'all can meet him real soon after that! He'll go crap in our bathroom cause he has to do that every 3 hours since his large intestine is MIA.
ALSO I got to do ANOTHER exchange this week with one of our Zone Leaders, Elder Hansen. Now that was a good time. I have so much respect for that guy. He's a way better ZL than I was, haha. I can tell that he really just has such a sincere desire to help us out. He loves us and in exchange we love him! I also noticed how much inspiration zls actually get. He's was a pretty good missionary before, but now he is exceptional. I know that God is helping him out so he can fulfill his calling to the best of his abilities. I think it was the same for me. When I was a zl I was much more effective and powerful. Elder Hansen and I talked a lot about the work in the Zone and things we could do to make things work out or go more smoothly. We talked a lot about Elder Gillette and what we could do for him. All in all is was a day full of the spirit and revelation! We even got to set up Brother Kelly's Christmas tree and help some random guy witth christmas lights. It was a goood time. At 7 we were going to an appointment we had and the mainest street in the city was shut down. We tried to drive around it, but there were cars parked EVERYWHERE blocking all the other streets. We parked and got out and it was dead silent. I though for sure there was some kind of Zombie apocalypse going on, it was just like on I am Legend. Anyway,we got out and walked a little bit and found out there was a Christmas parade and the whole town shut down to watch it! So we walked in it and gave out a few cards haha. It was a good time.
Oh my word, how good was the Christmas devotional last night?! I became a little girl and wept at every story. I just love to hear about good people being good!! I want to be a good person and help out a lot of people. I cant believe how selfish I have been. I want to share more of what I have with those around me. Thank y'all for your good example of being good and sharing love! Y'alll have made a real big impact on my life and I hope I can be a good example of good for those who around me!! I love you so much!!
Have a good and safe day! BE HAPPY!!
Love,
Elder Caleb
