Working Hard ...Walking Tall

Naps and a New Companion

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I think I might as well just keel over and die. If I thought I knew what stress was before I came out on my mission I was wrong. Don’t get me wrong I love what I’m doing out here even though the outcomes are very sparse. Sometimes I feel like they are expecting me to literally be superman and remember and do a million things at once. Once I feel like I’m starting to get a hold of things they ask us to do ten more things on top of the rest. Yesterday I just had enough. I couldn’t take it any more so I decided not to write anyone and just go take a nap. I feel like I could use another nap right now. We were trained by our zone leaders today for about 3 hours and now I’m trying to remember it all. Days like today can be very overwhelming.
Elder Williams is a great companion and missionary. He is constantly trying to do things go serve me and make things easier for me. He is really enjoyable to serve with because he has been out just as long as me, he is a hard worker, I feel like we carry an even load, he is very knowledgeable, I learn scriptural things from him every day, he is really easy to talk to, he is not afraid to talk to people, he is a super cleaner/organizer (which is such a change from living with other missionaries…I love it), and the list goes on.
We are meeting new people and having a good time doing it, teaching some really good meaningful lessons and trying to help people progress.
