the zone looks good


Well this week has been a lot of trying to figure out in who and what to focus in order to strengthen the ward and to baptize at the same time, ensuring that they have fellowshipping and are truly converted. We´re working with a less active named Mauro who honestly seems like leadership material. He knows his stuff, has a strong testimony, and acts like a leader. His family will also be taking the lessons soon as he has been inactive since long before his 3 daughters could get baptized.

Also, Britany, another member of an incomplete family, is planned to be baptized on Saturday. We just have to make sure her dad gets an interview with someone from the bishopric so he can be approved to baptize her. This week we´ll also be going back to the old folks home to do something small. The idea is to keep the members involved and to develop service into a habit and tradition, instead of a one time thing. We`re teaching a couple other families as well that are new...we´ve found them contacting or from references, and they seem really interested. The only downside is that one of them is moving to Mexico City at the beginning of February.

We´re preparing for a conference with a general authority that will be the 26th. There`s a special meeting for zone leaders and then there`s a conference with all the missinoaries in Guadalajara. He`ll also be in stake conference, which I think is this coming Sunday. Should be exciting...I`ll let you know how that goes.

Honestly, the zone looks good, and we`re enjoying the work. Everyone gets along and everyone is working and they`re happy about it. Now we can focus on being more efficient and exercizing our faith in order to keep upping our success, but they`re putting in a good effort. We even got together to play a board game today, and we ate some really spicy tortas ahogadas. Remember the soaked sandwich I told you about? This time the sandwiches were drenched in 100% chile. Yum. Going home, I`ll have to have a spice-off with the relatives.

So that`s basically all there is to mention. We spent all day tuesday in the interviews in the houses, helping them clean their bathrooms and whatnot, but it was a good experience. The sister missionary house was absolutely spotless...I have no idea how they find the time to do that and all the arty posters and pictures and paper maché stuff that they have all over the house.

Well time to run. Love you all!
