ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM HOME
Before I was transferred to Patzicia, I was in Zaragoza and Tecpan. It gets pretty cold here haha.
It's (being called a Zone Leader) a big responsibility and I know that I'm going to learn a lot from it.
My companion is awesome. We get along really well so that's great. We are on the search for more people that have the desire to listen to our message and want to change their lives through the doctrine of Jesus Christ.
I need to work more on my Spanish. It's always been a struggle for me but I have learned that I personally need to do hard things to see the results that God wants from me and for me.
LA AMADO ZONA (THE BELOVED AREA or ZONE)
MAYBE HE IS GOING TO GIVE US A WHIPPING OR SOMETHING
This week was a little slow cuz we had changes a day later and we had to run a couple of errands, but this next week we are going to find lots of people. Sunday we had a change of a Stake President. So that was great cuz we got to listen to 2 representatives from the *Quorum of the Seventy for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints talk. It was great. With Elder Cancino we were doing service outside a house when three men in suits passed by and then returned and I realized it was Pres. Alonzo from the Seventies with the ex-presidente de Estaca (Stake) and another Seventy from Guatemala. I was like, uh oh, haha maybe he is going to give us chicote (whipping) or something haha. But he just greeted us and gave us and idea to put a sign out and say we are missionaries and we do service and would like to share a message with you and then he smiled and went on his way. We just kind of stood there I asked my companion if he said it as a joke or serious and he was kind of like I think los dos (both) haha. Cool experience. Something memorable that he said in the conference was that we shouldn't have a fear to be wealthy/rich.
THE ATONEMENT
The atonement is true and helps us change and feel happy in our lives.
Love you all!!

"*Quorums of the Seventy
THERE ARE CURRENTLY EIGHT QUORUMS of the Seventy. Members of Quorums of the Seventy are often referred to simply as “Seventies.” Seventies are called to serve as special witnesses of Christ, proclaim the gospel, and build up the Church throughout the world. They work under the direction of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
General Authority Seventies serve in the Presidency of the Seventy, in Area Presidencies, and in other headquarters administrative functions. Under the direction of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, they travel frequently to meet with and teach Church leaders, missionaries, and members of the Church in local congregations.
General Authority Seventies have authority to serve anywhere in the world. Area Seventies' authority is generally limited to the area where they serve.
The Presidency of the Seventy is drawn from the General Authority Seventies and presides over all quorums of the Seventy." Lds.org
