Elder Whelan, Are You Ready?

Hey everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I got a surprise call last week from my president. Elder Whelan are you ready to be a zone leader? Ummmm sure? Ok so you're going to an area called Las Delicias in Santa Lucia. and you'll be finishing the training of an elder named Elder Richens. Then I thought, wait that means district leader not zone leader. And then he tells me, are you ready to take that position on? "Yes president" while thinking... NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha I didn't want the position but I know that I'm supposed to be here as someone to help my district. 

It was hard to leave, especially one family. They were like my own family here in Guatemala. I didn't want to leave them. They have 3 girls and a son, the oldest is married, the son is one a mission, and then 15 and 12. My comp was really sad to see me go. As I said before, he doesn't have a family at home, and only a few friends who email him. [Editor's note: we're planning on starting to email Elder Diaz, and will be posting his emails in a blog as well. Feel free to email him if you'd like. :) ]

So I had my first district meeting and workshop and apparently everyone loved it. I talked about faith. The Elders in my district told me that it was very well done and that they learned a lot from it. So its all good!!!! 

I'll send more information about it to my family and they can put it in my blog. I don't have time to say it all. But I want everyone to know that faith is everything tying us to this church. Without faith we are nothing and we wouldn't believe that there is a Savior who sacrificed everything for us. 

Anyway...
 
MERRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY 
CHRRRRRIIIIIISSSSSSTTTTTMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I'll talk to the fam on Monday!!!!

I love you all!!

Elder Whelan
