hello mother,
this week has been all kinds of crazy. it all started with the buzz on thursday about who would replace our zone leaders since they are leaving tomorrow. wellllll my companion and i got chosen to be the zone leaders this past sunday haha and to be honest it is such a great calling. if you dont know how the structure of a zone goes it is as follows. Basically the zone is a branch. we have a branch presidency and the branch has about 5 districts which consist of about 8-12 misssionaries each. there is a presidency, zone leaders, then district leaders. to be quite honest i was a little upset a few weeks ago because our district leader was re chosen becuase they change them out every 3 weeks or so, but they re picked one for our district and needless to say it wasnt me ha. i was a little upset because i felt like the ones they had previously picked were lazy, and were not good leaders and not good examples. but apparently i was not picked for that for a reason haha because now me and my companion have the most responsibility out of everyone. we basically assist the presidency in everything, which means about 8 meetings on sunday and a few more throughout the week, its been bonkers but way fun i love being in this calling because i feel comfortable being in a leadership position. but seriously the best thing that has happened to me yet happened the night we became the zone leaders. a girl in one of our districts was pretty sick with a bad migrane and was in need of a blessing. as her new zone leaders, elder weight and i stepped up and did so. he annointed her, and then i sealed the annointing and gave the blessing. it was definitely the most precious thing i have done to date with my priesthood. i have never given a blessing before and really didnt know this hermana very well. but i can testify to you that it wasnt me that was giving the blessing, i was simply the mouth piece, for when the time came to give the blessing my mouth was full of words of advice and blessings for her, and i know it was from the spirit because i was literally about to poop myself from nerves because i had no clue what i was going to say. that was such a great experience. the lord has blessed her, in fact she is behind me now writing letters to her family! such a cool experience. we had ANOTHER apostle this week! M Russell Ballard. i seriously think something big is going on cause its a rarety that you get 3 in a row. anyways his talk was amazing of course, i mean he is an apostle of jesus christ. well im running out of time i love you guys!! hope all is well keep the letters coming!!
