  Hey!  We had a super amazing week!  This week, we got to do the zone training meeting again, I feel like i´m always at some sort of meeting haha, but, it went way super good!  In our zone, we have a TON of super young missionaries, 11 of the 22 missionaries have been out 3 months or less!  I think this zone gets blessed with all of the best missionaries too =)  Every single one of them is a good example, and a leader.  We focused on the things that were taught at MLC a couple of weeks ago, finding people to teach, working with members, and using Preach my Gospel.  We asigned (I´ve tried to spell that word like 5 times, and it always looks wrong...whatever) some Elders to teach us these concepts, and to lead us in Role Plays, we divided into four groups and had workshops, and then all came together and discussed it with a testimony meeting.  It went amazing.  At the end, everyone was openly sharing their Testimony, and it was all on things that they had just learned at the meeting.  I´m proud of how far this zone has come haha.

        We got to hear from President Monson again this week.  He was visiting Frankfurt, and they sent everything through satellite to us to watch.  We filled up the entire Church,  almost every room was full.  It was great to see so many Saints come to see the Prophet.  Sadly none of our Investigators came!  We had 4 Families say that they would be coming no matter what, but, they didn´t come at all.  That sure is annoying.  

        Our Mission is getting pounded by general authorities, on Tuesday, so, tomorrow, we have our Zone Conference (See what I mean about always having meetings?) and Elder Manfred Schütze  from the 70 is coming to speak to us.  I´m way super excited, I get to sit up on the stand with him =)  I´m pretty giddy haha.  Normally we know what is going on for Zone Conference, and we plan a portion of it with President Schwartz, however, Elder Schütze is just doing his own thing, and nobody knows what to expect!  So, i´m excited!

       I´m doing super great, thanks for all of your love and support!
