Week 35 Zone Conference!

Hey!
This week we had Zone Conference!  So, we took a 2hour bus ride to Limassol and met all the missionaries there!
It was really amazing! President talked to us about a meeting he had in Germany with other mission presidents and how they could help us missionaries. He went to the meeting with questions wondering how he could help us missionaries. It was inspiring. The Area President, Elder Kearon said, " Challenge any excuse, distraction or rationalization; reject those voices that say it's too hard, or not your time. DON'T SETTLE FOR WHAT WAS YESTERDAY'S BEST."
President started to talk to us about how we need to go back to the basics and remember why we are here.We started off by telling us a story about s football coach in 1967, who said, "Gentlemen this is a football." And went through all the basics of how to play football to his players so that they could remember their purpose. And he compared that to us. We need to remember our purpose. And one quote from President that I love is, "You are formed of eternal fabric; you only get stronger when stretched."
This week we also did more cookie service and it went so well! We went to go visit Joan, the old lady from England. We brought her cookies and she was so touched by our service she asked us to come back in three weeks to have a lesson on the plan of salvation with her. We were so happy by her willingness to want to meet with us! It was amazing! We also met with a family from Palestine. They were super sweet! They have a baby girl and love seeing us come over. We will visit them again next week because the wife really wanted to cook us Arabian food. Hahah!
This mission has so many miracles and blessings! I can see God's hand in the tiniest of things! This is truly His work! I know that as we do everything we can in this life to prepare to meet our Father in Heaven again, we will have an abundant amount of blessings and our joy will be full!
I love you all!!
Have a great week!
