Hey everyone! 
So last week was super busy, so I don't have a ton to talk about in terms of work, except that two of our current investigators are GOLDEN and are going to probably be baptized by early February. We got super lucky about them, and they have a ton of good questions. They even came to church for the first time yesterday, even though about half the ward was missing because of the rain (it wasn't even that strong, but sacrament meeting attendance here drops a ton if it's even a bit rainy.) So that was really cool, and it looked like they had a great time.
Highlights of our week were just planning stuff and going to meetings. We had a really cool thing called Mission Leadership Council last week, where we got to Naga and spend a bunch of time on training, reporting on our zones, and making plans for the mission. I learned a ton, and I think we are going to make some huge impact for our zone. It was kind of weird being there, and I felt a little out of place at the beginning. There's tons of really cool missionaries there that I have a ton of respect for, and I felt a kind of inadequate I guess at first. But by the end, I started to feel more comfortable with contributing to everything we were doing, so it all turned out great. We set some pretty big goals for our zone, especially in terms of finding, and President Reeder seemed to like what we were doing there. Our zone is going to kind of be a bit of a testing ground with some of the things we planned, so if it works out, it could be really awesome. We are in the biggest zone right now, and we have a bunch of awesome missionaries that are doing work. We'll see what happens there. But we are excited because this week is our Christmas party, so we kind of get a day off for the most part, which will be nice relaxation. I let you all know how that goes!
Love you all! And I hope it snows more there soon for all of you!
