Zone Conference, Miracles, and Cempoala!

This week was way fun. On Thursday, we had a mini zone conference where we talked about the fire of the Spirit, how it just fills you up and all you want to do is share the gospel. We talked about what we can do to always have that fire burning, it helped me a lot and the rest of the week we focused on having that fire and paying attention to when we don't have it. This helped us really see some miracles. We also had interviews with our mission president which also helped.  President Palmer is an amazing man who cares a lot about us.

Another great learning experience was going on divisions with our zone leaders. I went with Elder Weaver (from Colorado) and we had a good day! Almost every appointment we had in the morning fell through.... luckily it was cloudy that day so we had some nice weather to go knock doors... It also helped us appreciate the afternoon when none of the appointments fell through. All in all it was a good day.

The real highlight of the week was yesterday! We went to church and the first thing the Bishop said to us was that there was a brother in the church who was inactive for a long time but is coming back to church, and he wants his daughters to be baptized! And then the bishop went on his way without even giving us time to ask any questions... Regardless it got us pretty excited and yesterday we went to visit them and sure enough they're super excited to get baptized! They're 10 and 8 years old and are super fun, their mom also isn't a member who wants to get baptized but she has some things she needs to work out so were going to have to wait out that process. Regardless we are super excited, mostly because they've already been to church many times, I already knew them but I had no idea they were not members! So we are going to work with them to be baptized the eighteenth of August!

But yeah, we went to see some pyramids today which was way fun! It was a place called Cempoala!  We went with Elder Holanda (from Brazil) and Elder Uribe (from san diego, cali)

Hope you all have a great week!!!
