Week 52 (May 15th, 2017)

So this week was just a huge week of learning. 

On Tuesday the zone leaders came to our district meeting. (I'm still district leader) and just evaluated how I taught and how the others learned, it was really good. After the meeting they gave me some tips that really changed the way I teach in district meetings and how I teach in lessons. I love the assistants in the mission!!! 

On Wednesday we had divisions with the other elders in our district. It showed me a lot of what I have learned here as well as what I still lack. I need to study the scriptures a lot more and find ways to apply them in my life and in the lessons. It was a great learning experience. 

Thursday we had divisions with our zone leaders, I went with the junior of the two. It was great, pretty much all of the plans fell through so we just did a ton of cosechas and finding people. It was really good to see how they work as zone leaders and how I can apply their teaching and finding ways into my area. I think I am the only Elder in our district that likes the Zone leaders. 

Then the rest of the week was applying what I have learned. Then on Sunday we had a miracle, three of the people we invited to church actually came!!! That means that we will have a baptism this Saturday, and another one on the 28th. It is so good! The second one will be sealed in the temple in a year and part of it was a reactivation of an inactive elder. So the ward is very happy with us for that one!! 

Another thing that I learned this week is that companion study helps build a better companionship. It gives us the opportunity to work out our differences and become better teachers together. 

Also Sunday was mother day!! It was great to talk and see everybody!! Glad I could see he extended family too!! Everybody looks so great!!! Miss you all!!!
