Well, This week wasn't really anything super special. A few interesting happenings though.
The
work moves forward. We are working hard to get to know our members, and
at the same time looking for more people to teach. We don't have a
particularly large taching pool right now. We're trying to work with the
members to help them with their missionary efforts, and hoping that our
efforts with them will bring more souls unto Christ. Not a whole lot of
success yet though. We follow up with several of them this week.
As announced last week, I am now a District Leader. I
was given the opportunity to give my first district training this past
Tuesday. I was very self contious that day. The reason being that I
wasn't given my topic to train on until Monday Evening, about 9pm. I'm
also training so, I didn't really even have much time during personal
study to prepare either. But, the show must go on. And so, when the time
came, I did my best with the preparation I had done, and, apparently,
it was a pretty good training. It started out a little patchy, but those
I asked said that I did a good job, and that they liked my training. I
give credit to the Spirit for guiding me in what to say. I get to train
again tomorrow, but this time, I know what the topic is. This one should
go a little better, in my eyes, anyway. Everyone keeps saying I'm too
hard on myself. Am I?
It has been brought to my attention that I may have
forgotten to share a bit of very important mission news. We have
received word that we are one of 50 missions selected to pilot an new
missionary tool. Soon, the missionaries in our mission will be receiving
iPad Minis to use in our prosilyting efforts. With them we will be able
to access the internet during lessons, so we can show people things,
such as Mormon Messages, conference talks, Mormon.org, and so on. On top
of this, they say that we will be keeping them when our full-time
missionary service comes to an end. It is likely that we will be using
them to do our social media prosilyting that was talked about in the
Work of Salvation broadcast back in June. Lots of exciting changes are
happening in missionary work, and we are in the middle of it all. I'm
excited!

This
past week we had dinner with the Hill family in one of our wards. We
got to know them a bit, and they got to know us. They have 5 children.
We met two of them: The middle child and the fifth child. The middle
child is 21 years old, and her name is Jordan. Yes, Jordan Hill. The
fifth child's name is Quentin, which just so happens to be my
companion's name. --Middle children both named Jordon(an) Hill, and
fifth children both named Quentin.-- We couldn't help but laugh when I
found out.
......I think I've discovered what I would be like if I was a girl.
---------------------------------------------------
That's all for this week. Tell everyone that I return the "Hi" and add a "Hello" to it. 
Until next week.
Con amor,
-Elder Jordon Hill-
