Great Week!

Well it was another great week. It hasn't been to cold lately. I don't know, I guess I'm just used to walking around in the cold. I can't wait for it to warm up a little bit. That'll be very nice. Maybe I'll go to Wyoming in the summer time. That way it won't be too hot. It'll be AWESOME. The Nashville Tribute to Joseph Smith is a great CD. Especially The Rising, and Modern Day Sam, the Emma Smith song is pretty good too. It's crazy I've been out for 8 months now. It's going by so fast. Man. Crazy.

I didn't hear about the earthquake until a few days after it happened. I'm kind of glad I have this distance from all the bad things happening in the world. It's kind of a blessing to be cut off a little bit. I'm not totally cut off though. I know that BYU is ranked like 12th in the nation in basketball which is pretty amazing. We just finished our week of eating with the Samoan branch. That was fun. We went to Golden Corall twice, and had brisket on Sunday. it was good. Anyways, we had our 5 baptisms last weekend. Which was really good. They're a solid family. And right now we have 3 more people on date in February.

On Friday we had Zone Conference. That was really good. They talked about how to be a Zion mission. Because last year the theme was becoming Zion missionaries, and now it's about helping others to become a Zion Mission. President Sonne was talking about how there is an evil among pretty much all missions. And that is not reporting when someone does something against the rules because you don't want to be seen as a "traitor/ tattle tale." He quoted President Monson I think and said "tolerance is the mask of sin." He talked about how his brother talks about how being tolerant is "politically correct" but it's not. I was reading something about pride too, and it said that worrying about what people think about us more than what God thinks is a form of pride. And we had a training about how to pray correctly. That was interesting. Well I think that's about all going on.
