This week we had Zone Conference and those are great!! Any time you
get to hear President Ames speak and address us is a great day! He is
defiantly called of God and receives revelation for this mission and all
the missionaries who are within it. President Ames big focus was on
member work and helping them understand their role on the work of
salvation. That was a big thing with Elder Brown and I because we
struggle with getting members involved with the work of salvation. He
also talked about how important our calls are and that he receives
revelation on where missionaries will be most effective at. Then Sister
Ames talked about how she loves "The Transfer Zone" that president Ames
goes in. That is the time where he spends about 5-6 hours a day looking,
thinking, pondering, praying, and then acting on the promptings he
gets. She said she loves it because of the spirit in that room is so
strong. I know that President Ames is called of God. I know that he
loves all his missionaries and wants the best for us. Elder Brown and I
also won the cleanest car award. They said that it was the cleanest car
they have ever seen in the mission. We babied our car so much that week.
We would take our shoes off and put them into bags whenever we got into
the car.
First Date on Mission ;) So on Valentines day during our dinner we went
to an old folks home and have a dinner/date with one of the residents.
It was so fun and my date was hot haha My dates name was Judy
Silvertooth and she was 92 years old. I love the people in the old folks
home! They are so fun to go and talk to and see how the generations
have changed. I'm pretty sure I heard the same story at least four times
and she also sang to me haha I love them!!
Cool thing about our Zone is that we have 17 projected baptism for the
month of march and 11 of them will be on march 1st!! The work is growing
in the Killeen Zone. Elder Brown and I with the help of the Spirit we
have projected 5 Baptisms for March. I'm pretty sure I've said this a
ton but Lampasas is a very fruitful place. This is the Lords Work and We Are His Tools Being Lead By the Spirit!!!!! Hurrah for Israel!!
Love
