Hey!!
Well I'm in my new area. I'm in
Gonzales... little south of Baton Rouge. It's a nice town. There are 2 wards here
and 2 sets of elders. My companion is Elder Damron. He is from Idaho and has
only been out about 6 more months than me. He is pretty cool. He likes
sports so we got that in common. All 4 of us missionaries live together. We have
a 2 story apartment so it's pretty nice. It's fun being with another set of
missionaries. I know Matthew said the favorite part of his mission was living
with another set of missionaries. I can see why he said that. It's pretty fun.
Haha.... I think sometimes we might have a little too much fun together. The first
couple days here were tough but I'm getting more comfortable now. The members
here are awesome. My area is a pretty wealthy area too. We have our groceries
paid for so that's sweet. I guess the members love the missionaries here. The
work here is pretty slow though just like it is all over Louisiana. Oh well it's
just something I have to deal with. We have dinner appointments here almost
every night which is sweet. I really think I'm going to like it in this area. I
also found out there is a family in my ward from Snowflake and I knew 2 of their
kids. It's the Bonhams. I knew their son Michael and Joe. Joe was in my Efy group
and I knew Michael from basketball. So they had us over for dinner last night.
Joe wasn't there because he is at college but he will be home for Christmas so
hopefully I'll be here for Christmas so I'll be able to see him. Michael is
back in Arizona right now. Yeah small world huh? Haha anyways nothing really
happened this week except for transfers. My old companion was pretty ticked he
had to stay in Opelousas because it's a super slow area. I think he was a little
bummed out that I got transferred because he really liked me. He would
always tell me that his prayers were answered and that he finally got a companion he
really liked. That's crazy that football is already over for Jaden. It seemed
like the football season just started. I guess it's time for basketball to start.
I miss playing sports so much. Just continue to keep me updated with sports and
stuff. And if you could sometime send me some jackets or sweaters to wear.
Lately it has been getting a little nippy. Ones that I can wear with missionary
clothes and ones with normal clothes too. Sorry this letter wasn't too exciting
because this week was a crazy week. Hopefully next week I'll have some more cool
stories to tell. Anyways you're in my prayers always.
Love Elder Willis
