We may be tools, but we're tools for the Lord!

This week has been CRAZY! On tuesday we went on exchanges with some Elders in the district  because one of them is being trained. It was a lot of fun, I went with the new missionary and had a lot of fun! We both had red hair so hooray for the jokes! I didnt care because they all got a good conversation going...usually about family history actually! Him and I had quite a solid heart to heart, his trainer isnt really being exactly obedient and its been hurting the companionship. They arent doing anything inherently bad, its just very little things like music or waking up on time and being diligent. So we just talked about how obedience is really a state of mind instead of just actions. We need to strive to be obedient and desire to have the spirit with us, not just do obedient things because he have to. It was a good exchange, the next day on Wednesday we had interviews with President and Sister Wilson. President just thanked me for everything I was doing...it was weird cause I dont like it when people compliment me. Makes me uncomfortable and do awkward things like run away and hide and make weird faces...

Since Elder Myers is still in training we had to go on another exchange with the Zone Leaders on friday. It was absolutely a blast! i went with Elder Allen who is a super good buddy and a brand new Zone Leader, pretty much the main topic of conversation was him asking me how to be a good leader. Again...super weird...I basically just told him is that the key to getting people to like you is to treat everybody like they are your best friend that you havent seen in years. So lets see if he takes my advice!

Super fun fact of the week:
Elder Myers (my comp) used to have a banjo. He broke it. 

I asked if there was more to the story and I guess not, he literally had it and then broke it. That is pretty much the flow of the conversations between my companion and I. We dont talk much...at all actually but I still love the kid! He has a strong testimony and he likes to work so no complaints over here! The picture is of me being bored on the way to a District Activity, your welcome.

Love you all!
