Zone Conference - Mission Week 65


Que tal? 

This email will probably be shot cuz I don't even remember anything that happened this week. 

Things of note: 

We had zone conference! Our mission is finally swapped over to the new missionary Handbook which means that now during the week I can read any emails or messages I get during the week. Still can't respond but it's cool I guess. A lot of things are changing from a set rule or policy to "just use common sense". It's frustrated a lot of people just because it's a big shift from 'know and follow every rule exactly' to 'just do what you think is best and what a representative of Christ would do'. It was awesome as always to see President & Sister Rasmussen, they are the best! 

We had a few lessons with Gerardo this week, he's doing pretty good. He's an eternigator but he's honestly progressing at a pretty good pace right now. He has a really strong testimony of a lot of important things in the gospel, just doesn't feel like he can get baptized yet (it's a long story). He hasn't been super consistent with coming to church so we taught him about the sacrament and how that is the real reason church is so important. Afterwards he couldn't stop telling us how much sense that makes and how we changed his mindset about church! It was really good. 

We also had a few lessons with the Peñas but they flaked on church again. They didn't have to work but they took an odd job at a members house and decide to work through church even though the member told them they should stop and go to church. 

We finally met a referral Yadira this week and she is super cool. She works a lot though so we will see how much we realistically can work with her. She has member fellowship already and has a lot of interest. She has a super cute son named Cesar and he's awesome. 

Anyways, that's it! This is the last week of the transfer. I'll probably be staying here there is no reason for me to leave. 

Los quiero!
