Week 2

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't get the first weeks email out for you all! It's been crazy busy here! The first week we were here at the MTC was all about running around trying to figure out which buildings are which and which buildings i had to be in! We met out TRCs, Training Resource Center investigators, and they were pretty cool! Max I'm pretty sure is a member that is acting as an investigator but he was awesome to talk too! He is into app advertisement so he is responsible for the annoying ads that pop up while playing games on your phones! haha! Anyways, Harper, our other investigator who we think is a member is from Hawaii and she looks like shes from the 80s! She was also great to get along with but we couldn't get them to commit to baptism.. My Companion and I don't really click when it comes to the church but when we aren't talking about the church we get along great! He is here on blind faith which is so hard to do! I don't know how hes doing it! I wouldn't be out here if i were in his shoes! He has never recognized the Holy Ghost which is a key thing to know and feel while out here! He doesn't want to go hope because he wants to set the example for his younger siblings. A little bit about him. He grew up in a black neighborhood so he acts like he is black. I would send pictures of all of us but i cant figure out how to load my pictures onto the email so, sorry guys! But hes name is Elder Kenny Rothe. Its a German name and its pronounced Ro-Thee. Long story short, he is the exact opposite of me. I love the mountains, he loves the city. I love trucks, he loves cars. So on so forth. The guys in my district are all going to Jamaica with me except for my companion who is going to Idaho Falls. He is from AZ. Its been rough for him here because he doesn't have a strong testimony and its been really hard on me because I have to do all the talking in our investigators meetings and in class role plays with others. He has slowly been getting better at helping me with our lessons but I'm still the one doing all the talking.. I am the District Leader. So everything that the district does runs through me. Its been rough but also the best experience! I can't please everyone all the time but when I do everything just runs so smoothly for our district! This last few weeks have been so rough and good at the same time so its a huge learning experience for all of us here! 

I leave for Jamaica on Tuesday the 15th at 3:30 in the morning! I wont get to Jamaica until 9:00 that night! Its gonna be a long day full of plane rides but man I cant wait to get there! Sorry this one is short but I have a lot of laundry and meetings and a devotional to go to later! I love you All! 

Scripture of the week, Alma 26:12.

Yours Truly,
Elder Wilding
