ELDER ZACK WHITNEY


Alma 29:9

I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.





New Assistant to the President

New Assistant to the President
There are three of us (assistants) right now, but Elder Saenz goes home in like three weeks, so it will just be me and Elder Tilley my last 8 weeks or so.
I love being AP. There is a lot of pressure and stress sometimes and a lack of sleep, but seriously it’s so so so cool. Definitely one of the biggest blessings I could have ever received on my mission.

January 17, 2011

Familia..
Go Packers...
I had to get that off my chest.. wow I will be so mad and glad at the same time if they win the super bowl. Please record the last games they have so I can see them in 8 months.
I have been doing really good. Elder Sanchez is way awesome, we get along really good. He is way funny. He is a way good missionary and we had a lot of success this last week. At the start of the week we had no baptism dates or progressing investigators at all but at the end now we have like 4 people that could get baptized this change. We found this one kid doing less active work and his mom reminds me of a younger version of you mom ha-ha. She is a less active that wants to return to church. My comp speaks like really really well without any crazy Chilean slang, so that’s cool.
That’s awesome about Christian Clayton. He seems like a kid that would go to Germany. Its a little sad cause I’m not going to see that kid for so long.
The English class has been going pretty well. Now were going to start and teach some people that go there. There’s like 4 or 5 people that always go..
I couldn’t believe the picture that you sent me last week. There was so much snow in St. George! The snow in Utah stopped some missionaries from going home last week. They had to wait a little bit longer.
That’s way awesome about BYU. Our old assistant told us a little bit about Jimmer. Isn’t he from New York or something? I bet BYU is going to do pretty good in the tourney.
This morning we went to the sector most south of our mission and we played soccer against another zone and won. It was really nice cause it was like the outdoors... The sector is called Pirque and its more farmish. It was nice to get out of the city. It was like my first time in forever seeing an actual river. After playing soccer we ate another barbeque, and it was pretty good. I had been looking for soccer shoes for a while cause I didn’t have any so I was going to buy some, but this week we did service for our neighbor and she gave me some sweet Adidas shoes to play on turf and cement fields.
Chase wrote me something way small like a month ago but he hasn’t writen me forever besides that. I e-mail Levi sometimes. I cant believe Trevor is getting baptized this Sunday, he still seems so little! I freaking love Trevor. The picture he drew me was awesome. Tell him hi for me and that I love him.. Its crazy too that Calvin is graduating... Ir seems like I just graduated a little while ago. Well family thank you so much for everything you have done for me.. Tell Maddie happy birthday for me! I haven’t been able to write her yet. I love you Maddie!
Chao!..
 
I totally forgot. On the way back from pirque the little bus we were on hit a pizza delivery guy on his motorcycle and probably killed him.. I heard and saw everything. It like sent him flying off the rode. We couldn’t do anything cause there was tons of people and another bus came so we had to get on. He was laying on the road in a position that defiantly showed either he was dead or was going to be soon.
