Well these past few days have been really hectic. Planning, reporting, helping missionaries. I know I should be tired but I don't really feel much fatigue. We had 5 baptisms last Saturday! Sunday they were confirmed members of the church. I want to share a cool experience we had Sunday afternoon. Well we didn't have any investigators so we were feeling pretty down. We went out to work and our investigators weren't at home so we were feeling even more down. We felt like dropping our investigators but of course we wouldn't do that. We didn't really know where to go or what to. We took a sec to talk about what might be more affective. after a few minutes we decided to go contact a part member family. When we went their house a guy was sitting outside and he said that no one was there. We talked with him for a few minutes and than asked if we could teach him he said yeah why not! We went inside his house and he told us that he was taught about 2 years ago by some missionaries like us. Him and his wife had a fight and she left about a week before. We shared a simple but powerful message and at the end we committed him to be baptized on Nov.26. He accepted and he shared with us what happened with him and his wife. The had a fight due to his addictions. We committed him to stop smoking and drinking. The spirit was really strong.
Later on that day we received a text from an Elder in our zone asking who's area might this referral be in. I was so excited cause it was ours!! We decided to go contact her right away. We found her house and no one was there... We continued working and going to our appointments. We finished a lesson at 8:30pm and hurry and ran home to prepare our report for the AP's who would be calling at 8:50pm. As we were counting the numbers someone called and my companion answered it and it was her! The referral we received and she read the pamphlet and she was expecting a return appointment. It was so awesome!! earlier that day we had some trials and some downs but it than went up really fast!!! We had District Mtg earlier and set goals as a zone. So far my experience as a zone leader has been great. Well thats all for now. Until next week.
