Go Sisters!!

And so the weeks begin to go faster and faster. This weeks passed like.... I don't know something really fast hahahaha. Let's try and see what happened.

Tuesday we had Leadership Council with all the Zone Leaders and Sister Trainer Leaders, APs and President. It was a really great experience. We did it at President's house, which is really nice because their house is so nice! Each Zone had to do a presentation on how their area and how their Zone is doing. Our area is super hard and it's not doing too well, but President was happy about how our Zone is doing, because it is doing really well! The missionaries here, the majority of them being Sisters, always complete what they are supposed to do, bring people to church and they baptize! We also learned about the importance of keeping the commandments. Friends and family, we keep the commandments because it's what God says to do. We don't drink coffee because it's bad for our health, we do it because it's what we need to do and because we love God! And for only that reason.

Wednesday and Thursday passed like nothing, but we worked really hard!

Friday we had Zone Meeting, and that was awesome! Animating the Zone, as we work to have another great month in June. Our Zone consists of 2 Districts. Elder Naisbitt and I are the District leaders as well, and Elder Copeland is the other District Leader. The 3 Musketeers! We are trying to throw some fire. We talked about doing absolutely everything you can to get what you want. Go watch "The Quest for a Go Getter" to see what it really means to give it your all. Whether it be baptizing or anything else, ya gotta do everything that you can, and a little more. Then we talked more about the commandments and how to be the best Zone in the entire world!

Saturday we almost had a baptism... but the guy didn't want to do it. Me and Elder Naisbitt spent about 2 hours trying to talk him into doing it, and I felt like we were completely guided by the Spirit, because I had no idea what I was doing, just saying whatever came to the mouth! But there's this thing called agency. Hahaha. Yes... that is almost 3 months straight without baptizing... and yes it has been really hard. But that hasn't stopped me from working. Gotta keep working.

Heard that Utah State is going to play at Duke this year.... awesome! Happy Birthday this last week to my amazing mother, and the 30th was Mother's Day, so happy Mother's Day to all my Nica moms! Congrats to all those that are graduating this week!

Love you all with all of my heart! Keep up the great work!
