Zone Leader in the MillCreek Zone

Well, the things in the district improved. Everybody was able to have a more effective week. It was great. Hopefully they can keep it up. Well as y'all know we had transfers yesterday. I finally left West Valley and now am serving in Millcreek. On Monday Elder Cannon and I were out tracting and we got a phone call from President Winn. And he called me to be a new zone leader. So I show up to the transfer building, and everybody in the mission getting transferred had a meeting in the chapel. Then we went out to the parking lot and all the zone leaders got in a circle to find out where we'd be serving and who our companions would be. They called a few for some different zones, and then they got to Millcreek zone. But the funniest part about it is that my new companion is Elder Widenhouse. So we're back serving together, just like the good ol' MTC times. It should be a pretty good transfer. I haven't really served around any of the missionaries before so it'll be good. Yesterday was pretty crazy. After transfers we ended up having to help the sisters set up some beds in their apartment, and then pick up 2 missionaries and take them to their apartment. Then we got a call from 2 other missionaries and had to give them a ride. Then we got a call from the other sisters in the zone and had to help them change apartments. So it was kind of a crazy day. We're still coming up with ideas for zone expectations and all that. It feels weird having a new area after 6 months of serving in my last stake. I feel lost, and don't know where we're going. But it's all good.

The baptism last weekend went through so that was a great feeling! To finally get someone baptized, even though the family that is thinking about baptism didn't show up. Then this Saturday we have a lady in my last area getting baptized. Someone I worked with a few months ago and then started working with her again. She said as she was in church praying about her baptism that my face showed up. So she asked me to baptize her, which I happily accepted. Hopefully we'll be able to have some baptisms in my current area now! I'm so excited for next weekend with General Conference. It's such a great chance to here the Prophet and Apostles speak. One of the biggest growths in my testimony lately has been that of Joseph Smith. He was such an amazing person.
