Hey Family,

Sounds like you guys had a blast this weekend, I am glad. Our family relationships are so important. Holly be nicer to Mom and listen to her when you are older you will regret it for the rest of your life...seriously. It is so sad that mary is so old, we have had her for a while now hugh. She will probably die soon...hopefully not haha just kidding.

Thanks for being worried about me mom, you know with the years I have realized that you recieve serious revelation. These weekend I have been more sick than I have been my entire mission and it sucks! haha but no worries the work continues and there is no such thing as a break when you are a consecrated servant of the Lord. I am feeling a little better today.

Honestly, the work in my new sector has been different. I think the Lord is testing me. I think that this sector and zone will be my refiners fire when it comes to my personal conversion and diligence. I am excited to show the Lord that I can take anything that life has to throw at me and make the best of what I have got.

My house is awesome we live with members and everyday we have to avoid the temptation of sitting and taking once with them but they are very loving and supportive of what we do.

There was a hilarious thing that happened this week. We had two baptisms and so we started filling up the font a couple hours before and when we came to check the water we realized that we had forgotten to plug the drain. So we had to fill the font with freezing cold water...needless to say our converts will never forget how they felt when they were baptised haha. Other than that it was a very spiritual service though and there whole non member family came so it looks like we will have some new investigators.

As zone leader I am responsible for the welfare of the missionaries and their investigators. More than anything I need to serve them and help them all become more converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I also do trainings and evaluations according to the results that the missionaries produce and if there are any problems or questions with the stake or ward my companion and I take care of it. We are really just chosen to be servants and to lead by example doing whatever we can think of to increase the amount of baptisms and work that goes on on a month to month basis.

Anyways, I love you all. Be kind. Be wise. Be loving.
