Helllooo!
What a great letter! I can tell summer has arrived!
The emails are packed with good funness, it’s great to hear about how things
are going with my family. Wow it seems like yesterday I was receiving emails
telling me about the action packed summer, and the thoughts coming to my head..
hmmm I could of been there! WOWZERS!! Next week I will be doing my Hump Day!
You can prepare the party, your misery is halfway over!
As for me the week was very good. We didn’t have any
really rough days but it was cool because I am feeling the pressure of
leadership and I really need to watch closely not to slip. For happily we
aren’t very lost. I am amazed at how well I can create a mental map and know my
way around. My comp, and the Sisters that I work with were shocked too. I just
know how to study the map for 2 seconds, and then I am ready to go for the day.
I blame it on all the many days I spent driving around town with my buds. In
our many adventures, especially with Braxton; he was always the driver and I the
navigator. Ha, I couldn’t help but think of my family too in a whole new place
and wondering how they are adapting, and if maybe I could be a good help
navigating you all. (Editor’s note: Zac’s family moved June 1st to a
new town, close to where he attended school before his mission)
I helped the Sisters out a bit this week and I got to
do my first 2 baptism interviews this last week. It is really great to be there
in that step of the person’s conversion. We know that an interview sometimes
makes the baptism happen, and is a great help in someone’s decision to baptize.
Luckily I had two well-prepared young men, but it is awesome to really be there
motivating and inspiring people about the baptism experience. I get to really
psyche them up! Besides that our work is going well. We have a few youth that
are getting ready to be baptized. I want to help more complete families, maybe
you guys could pray for that for me. But helping Elder Alves is a great
joy. He really listens and loves me. He always is telling me how my advice is
helping him a lot. Especially since he is very homesick, he is a very clingy
type of person (I on the other hand am not) but it’s great.
So yeah, btw, I GOT THE PACKAGES!! Ha yes, I got 2 in
fact. So I hope you can relax now. I thought it was funny, Elder Galves is my
Zone Leader now, so it was him that gave me the packages, but knowing him, he
can’t give me a package without asking me for some ties. Ha, I told him that I
have a bunch of ties back home that my Mom send ages ago waiting for him. I’m
sure he’ll be bugging me about it for a while now. Elder Galves really is a
great friend and a great missionary. I shouldn’t have been so hard on him
during training. But I know we are great friends now.
So yeah. There is my little email for y'all for the
day.
Play on my beloved family!
-Elder Zac Cetraro
