not sure if i'll have a lot to write about, but I'lll do my best. This
week was another normal week. Lot's of finding and teaching. On
tuesday I had an exchange where another elder named elder Reinsch came
to my area and we were able to have a really good day. We taught some
super good lessons and had lots of success. Wednesday was just another
working day. Thursday we had zone conference which was really good.
They announced some new changes to the mission, well they've actually
been in play for a while, but our mission wasn't told for some reason.
Anyways zone meetings aren't a thing anymore because we have zone
conferences every transfer, so that'll be interesting. Since I'm a
district leader I usually prepare the district meeting outlines and
what we discuss, but I might use the zone leaders more so that they
can provide training as well. During the zone conference we learned
about following the spirit to help discern and resolve other people's
concerns, how to extend appropriate and powerful commitments (PMG
chapter 11), and also about helping other over come addictions/
addictive behaviors. It was a really cool zone conference and our
mission president used a really cool analogy to the first vision about
overcoming those shortcomings. Just how when Joseph smith was being
overcome by satan during his prayer, he prayed more earnestly and put
all his focus and effort in his pray to god, then he was liberated.
Pretty cool connection. On friday we just weekly planned and taught a
few lessons. We have a lot of people we are working with, but it's
hard to catch people home and some aren't doing their commitments very
well, but we just keep working, trying to help these people out. This
week's district meeting is about "how to begin teaching" so that'll
probably help us out in our teaching, making sure people understand
our purpose. Saturday was another work day and so was Sunday. But
something cool was that there was a Recent Convert and an Investigator
that shared their testimonies and it was super powerful. They both
shared some super cool things and the spirit was really powerful.
Overall that was my week, another good one. I hope you all have a good
one. I love you all and I'll talk to you this next Sunday.
