queridos familiares y amigos!
week 5 has come to an end and week six, the last week of the change starts
today! this change has flown by and i feel like every change is just
getting shorter and shorter. we had a busy week with lots of divs again. we
have been going to a lot of other sectores around the zone to see how
everyone is working, and to help them find baptizable people. we now have
16 baptismal dates in the zone so the work is progressing great. the best
part of this week was interviews with presidente warne. we had interviews
on tuesday and it was a great way to start the week. we just talked about
the zone, how im doing and he told me a funny story about when he was a
zone leader and funny things that happened with the hermanas in his zones.
i love pres warne, one can feel the spirit he has as you talk to him and
listen to his inspired words.
questions:
What is your favorite teaching tool during discussions?
el libro de mormon*
What personal experience have you shared with an investigator lately?
i dont remember a specific experience that i shared recently, but i always
share my goals and desires with my investigators to try to influence them
to have even better goals such as temple marriage, eternal families,
reading the book of mormon every day, attending the temple often...
Did you get the picture of Elder Munoz I sent you last week? Pretty small world
huh?

When you're in a companionship with another zone leader is there a sr companion?
not really, its not called a senior comp, but when one comp has already been the zone

speaking like them, drinking

i miss the music, but its not a big deal at all, there are much more
important things.
