Zone leader

This week was a great week in the H Zone and the P area! We had a lot of awesome things go on here, and we are really excited for the work that is going on here. We have a lot of new faces, and a lot of new experiences going on, and we are so grateful to be here at this time to be apart of this great work. We are also extremely happy that we were able to reach 42 baptisms as a mission, breaking a record for a single week for us. We have 3 sister companionships training, 1 elder training, 2 new district leaders, and 2 of the training sisters are pink washing in. We have had a lot to do to start off this transfer.

In the P area we had a great week. We have been super busy, and looking to use our time the most effectively. We also started out early on praying to find a family that would follow Christ in their lives. Thursday night we went to a spot we had prayed about, and asked God for that exact thing, that we might be able to find a family that night. We followed the feelings we had and the third door we knocked we met a great family. We could not go in, but we said a pray with them at their door, with the spirit so strong. As we invited them to be baptized they accepted right away, and accepted for March 10! They were so excited. They missed our return appointment on Friday, but we were able to set another one up for Saturday, where we found out that Teddy was looking for greater peace in her life and balance, and her daughters are looking for greater guidance in their lives, and they also have always wanted to be baptized. the mom did not make it to church, but her daughters were able to be there, and they saw the baptism. They both felt the spirit strong there, and knew that that is what they wanted to do. We were able to testify to them that night that they can be ready this coming Sunday, and they are so excited. They are coming to a FHE tonight. We also had an amazing experience on the first day, where a family asked if they could teach them at the church, and we are going to be visiting them tomorrow. The husband is a member, and wants his wife baptized so they can be sealed in the temple.

I was able to go to a Zone Leader Council for the first time this Friday, and it was amazing. We received so much revelation, and I am so excited for the work that we have to do here in H. I am so grateful for the Lord and all that he does for me and the people around me. I know that Jesus Christ lives, and that he loves us, and will support us through anything. I know that we can receive greater inspiration as we follow him and desire that in our lives and plan to help others in the best ways. I love this gospel, and I love this work. I love you all, thank you so much for all that you do.
