Hello Family and Friends;
Another good and busy and exhausting week we had here in McKinney.
For the last five weeks we have been teaching around 30 lessons a week,
which is something I could really get used to. We had another good turn
out at the soccer night, and I got to play
this week! All three of us elders are pretty bad at soccer, but we
make the Hispanics laugh with our failed attempts to have fancy
footwork, so all is well! We taught Jason and Wendy twice this week and
it went well. They are reading the Book of Mormon!
Jason has no faith and is unsure if God even exists, but he has a
sincere desire to know and find faith, which is enough to get him
going! They flaked on church yesterday due to a power outage from a big
thunder storm, but they are very respectful and communicate
well through text messaging, which is nice. They were not happy when
they found out that I am leaving, and they might be moving to Frisco,
but I have a good feeling about them.
Tatiana got baptized on Saturday! Tatiana is the lady I told
you about that we were teaching for a while, she always did her
homework, she understood everything, and she was just awesome! Then she
moved to Tijuana, Mexico. She has been ready to be
baptized for a while now, but I am quite sure she is in love with me
and wanted to wait until next May so that I could baptize her... Yikes!
It is a long story, but I finally convinced her that it was best not to
wait and to just get baptized already! She
is super involved with the Church now and I can sense a genuine
conversion. I am super happy for her!
Well my time in McKinney has come to an end after seven long yet
short months. We got some big news on Saturday night and lots is
changing. I'm headed to Garland to serve in a Spanish branch, basically
Elder Packham's last area. I don't know who
my companion is yet, because I am going to be training a brand spankin'
new missionary fresh off the plane! So that will be interesting;
neither one of us will know the area and we will probably be chickens on
bikes with our heads cut off for a few weeks,
but I am up for the challenge. I'm also the district leader there;
just moving up in the world one rung at a time! I haven't slept too
well for the last two nights since receiving the call, just because
there is lots to think about and prepare for; but
I wanted change, I wanted things to get spiced up, and here I have it!
I am excited for the upcoming adventure and new people, new
experiences, and new opportunities. As for McKinney, they are
redividing the area again. Elder Patton is headed to west
McKinney and training as well, and Elder Packham is staying on the east
side and getting Elder Nish for his companion. Elder Nish was in the
MTC with me and he is a real goofball. They should get along well
together.
-a package filled with love would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the pictures! It is so nice to see some familiar
faces! That picture of Tom threw me for a loop and I was quite confused
for a split second. My first thought was that it was an old random
picture of Tom and Broc that I had never seen before!
But his trip sounds like the neatest thing ever! Tell him I am proud
of him, will ya? Cousin Drew looks like he got himself a righteous
daughter of God, congrats and well done! I got an email from Chloe
about a month ago. I can't believe they are done
already! Life is crazy.
Much love I send to all!
Elder Williams
