Dear Family,
The week was pretty eventful!....ooooh. So, We'll start with Zone Conference. Zone conference was great! Edler Ringwood came and spoke with us and had a bunch of inspiring words. He used a few scriptures as the basis of his discussions with us; D&C 4, D&C 88:...can't recal, I have it written in my notes which are not with me, and 2 Nephi 31. D&C 4 was all about serving with all your heart, might mind, and strength...what I got...heart is service spiritual motive(testimony), might is commitment/will power( that is a toughy), mind is our inteligence, strength is our physical. It was very motivating. D&C 88 had to do with how he went about teaching us...having us all edified and all speaking our learning and understanding, so ALL are edified. Which helped out a ton with our 2 Nephi 31 discussion. I got a ton out of it and don't have the time to go through it, but it is now a much greater chapter in my heart. Great before...better now...all were edified. The picture to depict Zone Conference is the one of me and a few elders in the gym. Its all my mission posterity, save but one. A good little reunion.The next picture of the week depicts a baptism! yay! Kaleb's baptism went well, though we were getting a little anxious becouse they didn't show up till close to go time...niether had the opening prayer or the first speaker, but it all worked out and was a great day for Kaleb. I had the honor of taking him into the water.The water didn't stop there! The last picture is of the Family Fun Zone for the OU Sooner home games. It rained all day! Lucky for us, once we got the tents put up we had some shelter and were dry in a couple hours...until we had to tear it down and the rain got worse. The missionaries get to be apart of this activity because there really isn't a whole lot of productivity on these days because like I said before college football is more important to this town than anything. This way we get to be a friendly face giving free food and water out to those passing by. Pretty much the entire state migrates to Norman for the home games, so the missionaries get to share some joyful hotdogs and every so often talk about what were all about.It was a pretty eventful week!Love Ya!
