So, this
week was a bit of an interesting ride, as we had interviews with
President as well as Zone Council. While we were in Kearney for those
things, President Ence loaned me a new phone to use because apparently
mine is no longer supported by certain Church apps. We also had exchanges with all the other Elders in the district,
and there is only one other area I am concerned for, which is a good
start amid the five areas in the district.
Then
we were told on about Friday night that Elder King will actually be
transferred, despite our only having had three weeks with him. But hey, that
means I get the SIM card for this companionship! I have been sorely missing that, to be
honest. This will be an interesting few weeks, as now I am the leader of
a district of six areas, which is two more areas (and five more
missionaries) than the entire zone in Mendoza where I became a Zone
Leader. This zone is growing enormous due to the insanely huge surplus of
missionaries being reassigned here. I am realizing that I have a truly
important purpose here. Even President Ence said directly that I was sent
here to "love the district into obedience." I feel my efforts are worth
particularly much, right now, especially in the lives of the
missionaries I lead.
Another
interesting part of this week is that my abdominal pains from June came
back in about equal strength as before, and this time I got to the
doctor while I still felt discomfort. They took urine and blood samples,
and they will probably be getting back to me soon. They said there was
no obvious sign of an umbilical hernia, but that it could be small, or
could simply be intestinal inflammation. One way or another, I'll try to
take it easy until I get to feeling better.
In
the end, I just want to reiterate that I am loving my life, and I have
no regrets at all in anything. I am grateful for my chance to be here in
a place where I am truly needed, and where I was sent by revelation and
because President trusts me enough to help this district to learn the
true doctrines of the Gospel of Christ. I think of Isaiah when he said,
"They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they
that murmured shall learn doctrine." In short, God needs me, and I am so
happy to be where He needs me to be! God is good.
Love,
Elder Hill
