Our Zone Is Rocking! This Week Was Rocking!

Dear Family and Friends,

What a great week it has been this week!! The Zone is blowing up baby!!! It's been great! So we have 7 Companionships in the our Zone and we have 8 baptismal dates set!! So I'm pretty excited!! We (my companion and I) also set a baptismal date with one of our friends we have been teaching!! She is awesome!! Her name is JoAnne and she is so excited to be baptized! 

The Zone has been doing great and we have been seeing great success and miracles! It's been good to see so much success because the Wards here were in my Zone have come from different parts of other missions.  In other words, the Tampa Mission absorbed some parts of the surrounding missions of Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale.  Some areas in the Zone were struggling some but we have been working really hard and now all areas are doing well!  The Wards in all areas are working with us and it is so great to see! 

We had some amazing lessons with JoAnne this week! We had a great lesson where we set the Baptismal date and also taught her about prayer! We talked about the nature of God and how he has asked us to pray and how we can have a 2 way communication with Him. It was awesome to hear her prayer after the lesson! She has been praying everyday since and has been seeing the difference in her life. We had an awesome lesson on the Book of Mormon and the Holy Ghost and it was so powerful! We had a recent convert to the lesson to share her expienence and it went amazing!! She has been recognizing the Spirit more and more! We are very excited to see her Baptism! 

We had a fun Zone Activity today- we played Volleyball and carved pumpkins! So that was pretty fun! I carved a Dragon Ball Z character into the pumpkin! It turned out better than I expected! 

I also loved General Conference!! It was amazing!! The Apostles today are such a huge blessing to our lives!! I loved how they talked a lot about Joy! I know pure joy comes from following Christ and His commandments!! We talked to a Baptist guy this week about modern-day Prophets and Apostles. It was fun to teach him doctrine. I love being about to teach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ! 

Thank you so much for your support and prayers!! They are working and I really appreciate them! Have a great week and I love all of you!!!
