Zone conference was good. There was lots of talk about what happened with Peter between the crucifixion and when the Lord appeared to him on the shores of Galilee, and how he really obtained his testimony...and changed completely. It was good. Also, the practices were lots of fun, spiritual, and productive. President said they were the best practices he had seen. I don`t know if that´s entirely true, but I do know I enjoyed them.

Our ward mission activity was also this week (this thing has been inthe pipes for about a month). We taught the members how to share the gospel and answer simple questions about our faith. We started everyone out together and President Saucedo gave an introduction (pro of having him in our ward), and afterwards we divided the members in groupos. Each church organization was assigned a specific theme with common questions, and the groups went through each room/station and spent about 10 minutes learning about the theme and practicing how to explain it to a nonmember in simple words and with the spirit. The themes were Book of Mormon, the Restoration, Baptism, Temples, Traditions, and the Purpose of Life. The members had a great time, and at the end they grabbed materials to give away and also a card we designed (with a member who is good in graphic design) that had scriptures to answer common questions like "why don`t you use crosses in your church?". The bishop also commited the members to bring a new friend to church next week. We´ll be praying and working for that.

We helped out with two baptismal services that weren´t ours this week as well. One was for another area (I did the baptismal interview and conducted the service) and the other was for a child of record from our ward. It was good though because through the other area we found out that the members of that ward have a few references they want to give us with people who were going to church in Utah and are hanging out with the YSA. Also, the other baptism gave us lots of contact with the Rojas family, and that´s a big family where not all of them are members. They like us a lot and there´s actually a baptismal date planned for the 18th with the wife of one of the Rojas brothers. More details later!

Well I´ve gotta run, as usual. Love you much, and take care. Say hi to everyone I don`t manage to write to even though I´m writinga t atl ike 100000000 words per minute to try to get everything in.

Love,
