Zone Conference

This week has been uneventful as far as missionary work goes. On Thursday however, we had a zone conference. It was so sick! I love zone conference, 3 zones around us came as well so I got to see some of my buddies! It was really fun, apparently our mission has a huge problem with gossip. It is super understandable because there is a lot of rumors going around between missionaries about missionaries. So as a mission we are cleaning that up. He also gave us a new challenge. The new mission wide goal was to reach 50 baptisms in the month of March. We reached 47, we missed the mark but we had more baptisms than we ever had before. The new goal is that by the end of this next quarter, each area in the entire mission have a baptism, at least one. So we are working towards that. President Wilson is awesome, he sat by me during lunch and we were talking about Utah. I told him I think he should run for President of the United states, I said "you could be king!" He turned to me and said "I already am" with his business man smurk. It was a really funny moment the whole table was laughing!

Friday I went on exchanges with Elder M our district leader. We met a couple cool people, one of which became an investigator. Elder M is from Ammon Idaho, he was really surprised to hear that I knew where that was! A YSA member took us out to lunch to Panda Express. Im not that big of a fan of Panda but its free! For dinner he made me the best chicken I have ever had. He is a way good cook! Elder L claims to be a good cook but he will never cook anything, so whatever haha. We exchanged back Saturday and I made everyone French Toast. I love French Toast!

Saturday we took N to the AP's baptism. He really liked it and became excited for his, we are still working on helping him gain a testimony on the Book of Mormon, but it is hard to help a blind man who cannot read! He is really awesome though! We have correlation on Saturdays and we were talking with our ward mission leader Bro. T. turns out his son has served in Greely on his mission, and a buddy of his is going to ATC school out in Greely, so I was like maybe he knows Mike! Gotta be a small world in the weed center right?

Sunday was a bit of a let down, N is getting ready for a kidney transplant so he has been on dialysis for a while, he didn't come to church. I was really bummed about that. Sunday night was interesting because we were studying with Elder J and Easter, and the sisters just showed up. Elder J and I tried to calm sister W down because she was having a meltdown. We were sitting in J's car talking and freaking Elder Jeppson gets a call from the District leader and leaves. Just leaves Sister Weiman and I in the car, I was so uncomfortable, don't get me wrong Sister W is awesome and super attractive but it was horrible, I lasted about 5 seconds in the car before I got out and pretended like I got a call. She saw right through it but she wasn't mad because she knows how Elders are. I don't get what Sisters problems are, Elders will be pissed for like 10 minutes and then their fine. When Sisters are mean to eachother, suddenly they have insulted their family, their pet fish, their ancestors and the world. It becomes a ball of hatred that I don't understand. Probably never will but Im cool with being simple minded, its easier.

This is how uneventful this week was, the coolest thing all week, was that I found a sandwhich thingy that now only cuts the crust off, but it cuts your sandwhich into 4 puzzle pieces! So I became a peanut butter and Jelly master! Do you like my apron? Sister W made it for me cause I killed a spider in their car. Small and simple means I guess. To her credit it was the freakiest spider I have ever seen. I think Mom would have cried. So I will describe it for her since she didn't have the opportunity to see it! It was green, hairy, and it had like 4 REALLY long legs and 2 smaller ones, I don't get that but it was also a huge spider, it was probably close to the size of my palm. If I ever see one again I will take a picture before I stab it. I didn't want to smash it cause I don't wanna get my shoes dirty, so I stabbed it.

I will let you know more next week! Love you guys!
