I had a great week this week!! We had another zone meeting and it was the best one yet!! We were planning on doing it this week, but the assistants told us that it had to be last week so we were obedient and prepared it all in one day! We were up until 12 last Monday haha but we were able to get it all ready. Tuesday morning we are there and the sister training leaders gave their little part, and they ended up using like half of the stuff that my comp and I were going to talk about!! So we had to wing a little bit of it but its okay because in the Gospel when you have to "wing it" you just need to trust in the Holy Ghost :) so thats what we did and WOW it turned out to be even better than what we were planning and it was exactly what the zone needed! The participation of each Elder was awesome and it was such a spiritual boost! We talked about the attributes of Jesus Christ, things we can control things we cant control, being diligent, about the zone and our indicators from January and February, and we talked about the conversion of the Anti-Lehi-Nephites. We finished with everyone writing down something that was stopping them from being a better person or a better missionary and we "buried" it in a jar of dirt. It was super cool, very symbolic as to "burying our weapons" and becoming better missionaries. 

As for the rest of the week, we had Elder Lynn G. Robbins from the presidency of the 70 come talk to our mission and it was soo cool!! But we lost a day of work because it was in the afternoon, so we worked even harder the other days of the week to make up for the day that we lost and we ended up having one of our best weeks! We found a new family of five that came to church this week because the guys sister is a member from another ward, she came to church with them and then we took out a lesson for later in the day, we get to the base of a hill side and we call him like he told us to.... HE LITERALLY LIVES IN THE LAST HOUSE ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN!! But its all good because they all want to be baptized. Haha I love the mission so much! This is the True Gospel of our Savoir Jesus Christ!

My comp Elder Carter is a stud, the zone is going super well, we are working towards our goals and achieving them! Everything is going awesome and we have the eyesight only on the the glory of the Lord! I Love you so much, have a great week! Be grateful for all of your many blessings! :)

I love you so much!!! Haha thats so amazing to hear about that in the ward. I really do love being a missionary and my testimony gets stronger each and everyday, I love the Gospel, I know its true and I know that our Heavenly Father loves us soo much! Keep doing what ever you can to help other people know what we know too, even though some people don't see or choose not to see the love He has for us, as members of the church we can always be a channel for them, through our kind acts and service they can feel just a little bit more of that light and love that they are searching!

This was an amazing week, talking about service haha wow. We went and moved more rocks for that family up in the hillside one day but that was nothing compared to the other stuff we did this week. Almost all of my area is mountains and hills so this week we contacted and helped soo many people carry stuff up the mountain sides. We carried up refrigerators, bags of cement, giant bags of flour, huge 6 packs of 3 liter sodas, boxes of canned milk, this one guy had a concrete sink that maybe weighed more than me haha. 80% of our contacting this week was through helping people carry stuff up the mountain sides to their houses and little stores, and it really is something beautiful. Like this guy with his sink, if we weren't there, there wouldn't have been any way possible to get that thing up by himself, just the little miracles to be in the right place in the right time to be able to help people, and then invite them to come unto Christ, what a great combination right? This week we have 2 baptism scheduled, one is a kid named J who we've been working with since January, he is awesome, he's been coming to church, participating in the activities and everything, he has progressed so much and now is stoked to be baptized this week and really make the change in his life. The other is the boy friend of a girl in our Ward,  they have a baby and they have been together for a long time now but finally this week they are getting married! (you cant be baptized if you're living together, you have to get married or split up), but they are getting married this week and then he will be baptized Saturday during the same program as J!

We were teaching him the steps of repentance how you recognized that you have sinned, confess to God, never do it again, and do everything you can to correct it. So we explained that breaking the law of chastity was a sin, but now that he is getting married they are completing the steps of repentance and they are going to be a beautiful family, when we explained that we could feel the spirit so strongly, and its just amazing the things we are able to be a part of. 

I love you all so much, I'm so happy for all of my friends and family and for the life that my Father in Heaven has given me, and now for all of these amazing opportunities to share and help others. Have an amazing week!
