Zone Conference

 Monday Nov 25, 2019

How have you all been doing this week? This week went by pretty quickly. Most of the time we were dropping people that were not progressing but we hope to change that to finding a lot of people this week. There was someone who came to church this Sunday who is the Boyfriend of a Recent Convert so hopefully I will have information about that next week. One of the big things that happened this week was Zone Conference that lasted about 8 hours but was filled with the Spirit. Elder Klebingat from the Seventy came and addressed us and gave us a lot of really good invitations. Some of the things he invited us to do is Exercise daily and to Role play everyday. I haven't been the best at either of those but I want to do everything I can for the Lord. He was also super bold about telling us what we needed to do. I mean he was German so I guess that makes sense. There was a lot of great trainings and we got to take a picture with everyone during lunch. We also learned about a Training about creating our own Memory Palace on Scripture. Yeah it doesn't make sense at first but Elder Klebingat explained what it mean't. Basically you create a setting in your head and fill it in with different objects or numbers about things. He said that it works well with Scriptures such as the Following Memory Palace. "Luke Skywalker clears the path in Jerusalem for the Apostles. They come upon a Cougar who doesn't look well. One of the Apostles (probably Peter) takes out a swan from his Garment and breaks its neck and feeds it to the Cougar." That is in reference to Luke 9:2. If you don't understand how it works now just think about How Luke Skywalker is the Book that its in, the Cougar has 9 lives and the Swan looks like the number 2. All in all it was a really good Spiritual Conference and I enjoyed every second of it.

Other than that we knocked on a couple doors this past week and didn't find a huge lot of success. We were able to get in touch with an Unknown Part Member Family that may end up being interested. We aren't sure where its going to go yet but the Bishop was able to meet with them this week and had a really good meeting with them. There was also two different occasions where we were bashed. One lady told us that she said we are brainwashed but refuses to read from the Book of Mromon and another family that was well scriptured but kind of had God at a Limited Level. Kind of sad to see that people won't do the Research on their own but that is their fault. However on Sunday night while we were finishing up our Daily Contact we walked back to our car and a car parked right next to us had people unloading some Blankets. We asked if we could help and they said that we can. As we started unloading their blankets they invited us to come over to their house for Dinner but that they were Baptist and didn't plan on Converting. However the Lord always has a way to help people come closer to him and we plan to meet with them sometime in the future. 

I honestly believe that Miracles are going to blow up in our Area in a couple weeks and I have the faith that it will happen. Even though we don't have a whole lot going on I do know that the Lord will provide a way not only for us but for other Missionaries out there to see success. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and I will talk to you all again next week!
