Oh man this has been such a crazy week! We as zone leaders have been sooo busy!
On Friday we did a total of 15 baptism interviews! With the miracles we saw this week we were able to reach our goal for baptisms for the month of November! We baptized as a zone 26!!! We double the baptisms from the last month so that's a great improvement! We have a new goal of 30 baptisms for December and we are all really excited to surpass this new goal. My buddies Elder Blake and Elder Philpot saved the zone by baptizing 9 on Saturday! I did the interviews for half of their baptisms and it was so tiring! As soon as we got to their house to do the interviews the next door neighbors pulled out their giant speakers and played their crappy music for the whole world to hear! I had to scream for 2 hours straight basically and on top of that the room where we were was small and had no ventilation so I was baking alive in there!
Thanksgiving was this week! It was super weird being away from home for that! It was no where near to a true Thanksgiving! In honor we ordered sandwiches before going to bed to celebrate!
We had transfers this week. Seriously half of the zone got switched out including my comp Elder Knudsen! He got sent to a pueblito called Tartagal and he will be training there! It was weird to hear that. He is a zone leader gone trainer and he is going to die there with his son because he only has 2 transfers left! My new companions name is Elder Ellertson! He is super cool and he is from Temecula, California! He likes to skate and surf so I am already sure that we are going to get along great! He is a new zone leader just like me so we are going to be learning together! I have been up since 7 am yesterday. Being ZL I was in charge of making sure everyone got on the right buses and on time. It has been an exhausting day. I'm about ready to die in my bed. We are here in the bus station waiting for the last bus of missionaries to finally get here and then we are going to rest and what not for a little bit before our p day ends!
I love you guys! Thanks for your love and prayers! Happy holidays!
