Zone Conference and Exchanges

Monday: For our district activity we went to the driving range which is always a blast! Then went and got lunch at Chick-fil-A! We met the Jacobs family, they are super nice, have 5 boys, so our visit was a little crazy. Also visited the Eschenberg's who are very tall and very missionary minded!!! At about 9:30 our AC kicks on, water starts dripping out of it, turns out, bathroom sink was clogged, which made it leak...


Tuesday: Went on exchanges with Elder Hadfield!!! It rained, which made finding other ways besides tracting a little harder, but it was a fun day! I learned a lot about being bold and how easy it truly is!


Wednesday: We had an amazing lesson with Judy, her big struggle has been with the Book of Mormon, at our lesson she finally said, "The Book of Mormon might be true, I've just believed differently for 60 years". That was awesome to hear, it may seem small, but even having a thought like that from her is amazing!!!


Thursday: Zone Conference!!!! There was amazing discussions on finding people, testifying boldly, getting around people's excuses, etc. As well as discussions on extending commitments, promising blessings, and following up! After Zone Conference, I went on an exchange with Elder Kirk. He is a fantastic missionary, I learned a lot about the importance of being bold, letting people know how the gospel can bless their lives, after one rejection keeping the conversation going, then working back around to the gospel.


Friday: Us and the Spanish Elders were able to help a lady named Kathy fill some sand bags, transport the sand bags, and lay them in her backyard. That seems so simple, but the happiness she felt to have it done was great to see!


Saturday: Met Justin, Mike, Victoria, and Tanner pickle ball finding, set up a time to play again and share something also! Did a lot of street contacting, as well as some service for a lady named Trish!


Sunday: Church was great, we gave the talk in primary so that was really fun. After church we went tracting and found Brad. He grew up around members, loves the church, and invited us back to share an Easter message! Had a lesson with Vicki, she's super nice, has been through a lot, but found a lot of comfort in the Plan of Salvation!

Remember serving others is the most selfish thing you can do, because of the joy it brings you! So serve this week and enjoy the happiness and joy you will feel!
