This week has been a crazy one. We did not quite do as good on finding as we should of, but we still saw some miracles happen. We had some people preparing to be baptized this Sunday, but slowly they all started to fall. One was not doing so well because he had some problems with the Word of Wisdom, which we taught him early in the week, so we knew that General Conference was going to be pivotal to him. We came and talked to him about it right before again, and he set aside everything he had planned to come to General Conference. He came to every session, which was a miracle because Elder P and I had been praying to have someone come to every session. After the final session, we sat down and talked with him for a while with our Bishop. Bishop bore pure testimony to him, that with ours and that of the prophets and apostles, he knew he needed to change. He got baptized right afterwards, we had started feeling up the font before hand. It was an amazing miracle. The baptismal font had not filled up all the way, so we had to do the baptism on our knees, it was an amazing experience. Right after we went to his home and took anything and everything that was his that had anything to do with the Word of Wisdom. He was completely changed from when we had taught him it originally. He is doing amazing now, and has already started sharing the gospel with his friends. It was so amazing that we could be apart of his life. In the zone we have seen a huge need to revamp the teaching pools of everyone. This month we will have a giant focus on New Investigators, and we have a lot of good plans to help followup. We learned a ton in Zone Leader Council about how to improve all of our trainings, and we have come up with some ideas to uniform our trainings together, still allowing plenty of space to follow the spirit, and also how to be more prepared for District Trainings. We are so excited for this month. I love this work so much, and I am so grateful that we are able to be apart in others lives to help them come the Jesus Christ. I know that He lives, and that He loves each one of us, and He wants to forgive us. I know that He has His prophets and apostles here on the earth, leading us now. I love you all
