10 Do you teach well with Elder Webster?
10.yep when it comes to teaching he is my best companion we teach well together.
11 Are the towns or villages very close together?
11.ya the area where we work is small and the zone leaders work the far away parts of our area.
12 Are the people more receptive to hearing what you have to say?
12.usually but sometimes you meet the babes that think they can’t learn anything from young chaps like us
Special Question:
13 What does it mean to be meek? How can we be meek?
13.well i would say that meek is similar to humble and submissive so its your ability to see that you don’t know everything and that you can learn still. and you need this in order to grow in the gospel if you know everything what do you need gods help for but the fact of the matter is we don’t know everything.
anyway things are going great. if anything really cool happens i will surly let you know. love you.
Great Elder Shelton! Keep up the good work.
What a great guy! It sounds like he is working hard and loving every moment. Keep moving the Gospel Forward!
