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
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.

March 7, 2011

Hello hello,

Hi familia how are you, this week was really good, we had our zone conference this Friday and it was way good, right now the mission is focused on the book of Mormon and finding new investigators, we found 7 news this week, and we have to find 21 to be able to do our part in completing the goal we have as a mission.

The craziest thing happened on Monday after we got done using internet. Me and my comp had cleaned the pension that morning and we found like a list of names that I had lost a little bit ago, it was a list that another elder made for me of people that could progress that I should visit.. So anyways we found it. In the evening we took a nap and my comp woke up and was like hey is there a street in our sector called occidental or oriental or something? I was like uh no... Well there is Gabriela oriente so ya that could be it. And he said o well I had a dream about some street named that. Then a few hours later a totally remembered my dream, and I had a dream about these names on the list I found. So we grabbed the list and we found the names and they lived on Gabriela oriente. We were like wow.... we totally just connected our dreams together. The next day all our appointments fell and there was like nothing to do, so we passed by that family on the list in Gabriela. A little girl came out and told us to come by later so we went by at like 7. And all our appointments fell that day. And she let us pass by, and we taught this new family of like 5 girls. They definitely had tons of doubts about the book of Mormon and stuff so it’s definitely going to be a process with them if they are going to get baptized. We will see though, because we haven’t been able to pass by since then. The book of Mormon will convert anyone who reads it sincerely, that’s the good thing.

Ha-ha that’s seriously so random. Ben challis and Julia braten? Ben challis has been home for like 3 months! I seriously was liked shocked when I read that, I could never see them together. But that’s way cool anyways.

That’s way crazy about BYU and what happened. Good thing that Steve young works for ESPN ha-ha. That’s kind of crappy though with the whole situation. The whole nation is like making fun of the honor code at BYU. It’s funny that the only religious university that has rules so that the students keep the commandments of god is a Mormon school.

Last night we had to take care of a situation in the zone. Like 6 elders tried to pull off a freaking sleepover and when we called for stats last night we realized that there were more than two missionaries in the pension. So we called them and asked them and they were like ya we messed up were going home right now. We had to call the assistants and we stayed up last night until like 12:30 until the assistants got there. We had already told them no, but they did it anyway. So were going to see how they react with us tomorrow during our class. Thanks you family for everything you do! I love you guys! Bye.

Elder Whitney,

We played basketball this morning at this sweet gym.
