WELL! It's been a week! Like every week. Holy cow.
To get to the most important stuff first: This Sunday is going to 100% insane for us too. In addition to Mother's Day, it's the day before transfers, which means we as Zone Leaders get to drive one (1) missionary to the mission home so he can go home the next day. You'd think that wouldn't take too long, but because we have a pickup, we're also picking up two other missionaries' luggage and taking that up to the mission home as well, so we're literally going to be busy until probably like 7:15 or 7:30 our time, so that's probs when we'll be skypeing it up.
So interesting fact about Zone Conference: We actually didn't have to do anything except set up and attend. The trainings are done by the Mission President and the Assistants. But we did have to set up and that was a little stressful, especially because we had to call up one of the Bishops to unlock a closet last-minute so that we could get the key that lowers the projector screen in the gym. So that was fun. That was probably the most stressful thing. Also, we went to another one of the Zone Conferences to inspect cars (there are three Zone Conferences, 3 zones each), so that was kinda fun. At our Zone Conference our car won second most clean. Yay? Well so the thing is that everyone went to the car wash before Zone Conferences. It's a competition every Zone Conference to see who can get the cleanest car. We waxed it, shined the tires, and all that good stuff.
So we don't do anything except the usual like contributing at district meetings, but we plan and teach at a monthly zone meeting, and set up other events. So yeah, we're mostly just problem solvers.
Aside from Zone Conferences, this week was pretty cool. Miracle story o'the week: We had an appointment with this less active, so we went to his house to teach him. Turns out he's living with some friends of his from work. So anyways his English isn't that great (he's from Liberia originally), so when I asked if he was sharing with his friends (as in, the apartment), he I guess interpreted it as me asking if we could share the lesson with his friends. So he went and invited them and they totally came and we totally taught them about the restoration and it was great! They understood it really well, and we have a return appointment.
There were some stressful zone leader things going on, which was not great. but things seem to be resolved for now. We went on a lot of exchanges with some cool people, which was fun, including the Assistants on Saturday. Pretty funny--I stayed here in our ward with one of the APs and we had a lesson with this less-active who's kinda funny, and she told the AP how it really was, it was pretty hilarious. Lolz.
Anyways, that was the week! Transfers coming up, we'll see what happens! Scary. I'm hoping I get put back in Spanish, but I have no idea what'll happen.
See you soon!
Love,
Peter
