Hello family! This week has been great! No crazy stories or anything, and I really want to sleep... haha my companion fixed our heater and he needs it on full blast to sleep... I need it cold. Dang it. Haha so sorry if this email isn't the best.
At a meeting with other district leaders and zone leaders, we were encouraged to stress faith with our missionaries. We are setting a goal for our zone of 12 companionships to baptize 21 people this month, and of course, the scripture we are going off of is Alma 32:21, keeping the 21 theme. So this will be great! I'm just thinking of an activity to do to make it sink in more! I'm really excited for how this can turn out!
My area is in South Auckland, and we don't have any hikes in our zone. We are the smallest zone in size, but we have the most baptisms of any other zone in the mission (HA!). I basically go sight seeing while I'm proselyting. I'm in the city, so there's not a whole lot to see, but those pictures I sent you of the trees and the bay are the only places that are nice to look at, and I see it every day, multiple times. Don't worry, I'll move around the country!
Tell people that I miss them back at home!
I love you all!
