Elder Zeballos

Dago tay, sic nae?

I started off this beautiful week with my old companion Elder Youngstrom, we went on exchanges with him to see how he is doing as a district leader. He is doing pretty awesome for being fresh out. I am so proud if him, my son! It was fun and refreshing to back in my old area for a day. I got to see some old friends and help Elder Youngstrom out. What a swell guy, wow! I also had an opportunity to go on exchanges with an Elder up the hill in Pinetop. This is kind of a new zone so, we wanted to get a good look into what happens up the hill. Anyways, I went on an exchange up there and it was good. It was weird not teaching Native Americans but, that's okay it was still missionary work. Man, I didn't spend any time in my own area. I was out and about all week.

Because, on Thursday we had another Zone Conference with Elder Zeballos of the seventy. He is a super cool guy and he had a lot to say.  He likes graphs and charts so that is cool. I love math and calculus so, it was fun looking at all the graphs. The coolest thing he mapped out is the correspondence between teaching repentance and baptism. For some reason it was beautiful how simple he made our calling look. I don't know how to explain it. But, then we had a MLC with him the next day. That was tedious because, we had to drive all the way to the valley for it and back. So, that took four hours there two hour MLC and four hours back but, we managed to use that time effectively and we planned out what we were going to train our zone on. And that Zone training meeting is tomorrow! XD Seriously so excited for that.

Then, as for how our investigators are doing. We had to drop a few because they didn't want to come to church but, we had some super good lessons yesterday with our progressing investigators. I think one of the biggest highlights of the week was went we came in contact with this lady on the street and taught her a little bit about the Book of Mormon because she asked us why we believe in it. We opened up to 3 Nephi where Christ comes to visit the Nephites. She really liked that and was excited to read it. It is complicated to explain the joy that filled her face when we gave her a copy and said she could read it. Christ is joy and the Book of Mormon contains the words of Christ so, go read the Book of Mormon today. Love you!
