Zone Conference

So this past week was zone conference! Basically was just the best thing ever!  So, we packed our bags and took a nice long drive to Prince George after volunteering at the food bank! I think I have had goldfish and a coke for at least 3 meals this week haha!  So we left Tuesday and got there later that evening and stayed the night with Elder Zieler, Elder Ortiz, Elder Nixon and Elder Dean. Crazy eh? I have not seen so many Elders in such a long time!

So Wednesday morning, the zone leaders, the district leaders, and the sister training leaders all had a meeting with President and Sister Burt and Elder Teh, so I got to go! Elder Teh is so funny! So that was awesome! Got to take some awesome notes and right after that we shot into zone conference! Basically just the most spiritual blast I could think of! I was so tired after though cause I had been sitting for about 6 hours.  After that we drove to Vanderhoof and stayed the night and we were finally back in our area Thursday, got to talk to people, had a couple dogs almost bite me again, no big deal...

It was crazy though! We were out knocking this trailer park and we knocked into this guy that had NEVER met missionaries before...we just kind of stood there for a second. You can only imagine because the town has about 3000 people in it, and Burns Lake has had missionaries for a LONG time. So that freaked us out, and he probably thought that we were weird, but we got his number and was just like the coolest guy ever!

Sunday was awesome! Got to watch the temple dedication, and right after that, after just getting spiritually pumped we took a ferry to the Southside and just started looking for people to teach! Of course, whenever we go looking for someone to teach, I think that the Lord has sense of humor. IT’S ALWAYS THE LAST PERSON! So, we came up to this house and Elder Westergard somehow got us in there, and we were just able to teach the plan of salvation right on the spot! I have to admit, it did not seem like they were interested, but once we got on the topic of families, the moms eyes just seemed to light up! So, we had an awesome lesson and were able to commit them to pray about baptism, and see them next week!

It was such a good week though! God has been so good to us! Finding someone to teach makes it even better! I love you guys!

Love
