Zone Conference

The week here was really good. We had Zone Conference, which was fun. On Wednesday, we were on exchanges, and we got a call from President saying that he wanted to come out proselyting with us since he was in town for the Zone Conference the next day. That was fun! We had some unique experiences. We went to talk to some guy in one of the apartment complexes and he was not happy about it. He got pretty upset with us and was telling us that he was the assistant manager and that it was private property and that if we were not off the grounds in 5 minutes then he would call the cops. The problem was that we had an appointment with a less active Sister in the apartment across the complex, so we told the man. He said that we couldn’t and that we needed to leave. We said that we were going to go over, and so we did. The Sister, when we opened the door, told us that he wasn’t an assistant manager and he was lying to us. As we talked with her, President felt that we should just go in and teach her, so we did! Lo and behold, the cops were never called and we were able to have a great lesson with her. 

We also had Zone Conference this week! It went really well. It was good to see President and Sister Tateoka and to see Elder Patterson again. It was a really good Zone Conference. I was able to talk with President afterward for a few minutes, which was nice. 

The rest of the week was good! After our Zone Conference, we did a power exchange with the Burns elders, so I was able to work with Elder Oswald a little bit again. That was fun! It has been fun to see how much missionaries grow throughout their missions. 

Things with Elder Holt are great. He is a really good missionary and he is extremely talented at playing the piano and all of those types of things. He played the special musical number, a Hymn by John Schmidt, and was able to pick it up and learn it in only about an hour. He’s great.
