In this it talks about Elder Harmon, he is a friend from school.
Hey guys its Elder Hennen:}
Hey guys its amazing here!!! The spirit
is in abundance here, it is so amazing to see and feel how the holy
ghost is teaching us! My companion Elder Thomson is an amazing elder, he has
so much to offer and is so in the zone its amazing!! Yesterday we got
the opportunity to meet some non-Mormons (our teachers) and got to know
them and find out how we could connect with them, our first Investigators
name is Patricio our second is Val, they both came in contact with the
missionaries and wanted to learn more so me and Elder Thomson discussed
what we should talk about and we felt that the plan of salvation was the
best way to start! We did our personal study on certain things and then
we had companionship study, we discussed what we learned and we came up
with an amazing lesson. Later that night we got to meet with the branch
president and his counselors and their wives. Our zone had to answer a
couple questions so they could get to know us better. We answered the
questions and they began interviewing us to see who would be zone
leader, district leader, and other positions that they have. As we
waited to go into the interviews with his councilors we got to teach the
rest of the zone certain topics that the Branch President told us to
study on and give a brief lesson on them! I got called out to the
interview while Elder Thomson taught that lesson. Once those were all
done he gave us another assignment to teach, this time it was out of the
missionary hand book, we got the topic on "your companion" what the
role is of you and your companion, going threw that I realized how
important it is to always be in pairs. In D&C 42:6 it says,
"Ye shall go forth in the power of my spirit, preaching my gospel, two
by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump,
declaring my word like unto angels of God." After all these were taught
the Branch President and his counselors let us go and take a break while
they went and discussed about the callings. We got done with the break
and they called us in and the Branch President started talking and said,
"we have some callings we want to give out and I'll get started, for
the first one we would like Elder Hennen for you to be the District
Leader, Elder (Preston) Harmon to be the other district leader...). The
minute he called my name me and Elder Harmon both looked at each other
and nodded then he called his name and we looked at each other with the
biggest grins on our faces and nodded again! It is truly remarkable how
the spirit works!! I love this gospel, I know that this church is true and I know that through the atonement all can be saved!
I love
my district, we all have very unique ways of looking at different
situations. Extending everyone's understanding 7 fold. The others that
are in my district are, Elder Adolf, Elder Larson, Sister Follmer, Sister
Egan, Sister Mckonkie and Sister Kelso, she is going to New Mexico
everyone else is going to New Jersey. I love you guys so much and have
not worried about you guys cause I know the Lord will do with you what
he wants and will help you when he sees fit!! I'll talk to you next
week!
Sincerely Elder Hennen,
