Dear Fam, Its been a great week! Saturday was the Baptism of Daniel Annan. He was so excited to be baptized he showed up at the temple an hour and a half early, and waited in the temple waiting room. He doesn't have a phone so we looked everywhere for him and the temple was the last place I would have thought. No ward members came besides the ward mission leader and a member that works at the temple and the Assistants. The broke my heart especially because I think Daniel is one of the most wonderful people I have worked with on my mission. I can't even explain how frustrated I was with the ward. But when the Baptism began I think it was one of the sweetest and most beautiful baptisms I have experienced. Before I knew it I was silently weeping of Joy, I am far from a perfect missionary but as I watched Daniel be baptized and I saw how happy he was I knew that the Lord was happy with me and that this was one of the people he put in my path! How Blessed am I!

President and Sister Judd are amazing people! I think this zone conference was my favorite meeting so far on my mission. The spirit was very strong in the meeting and I could just see it in the lives of them both. They are both very down to earth, and they take their time waiting for spiritual direction. I forgot to bring my notes, there are so many things I wanted to share that I learned but I tell you a little be more about it next week. The greatest thing I learned from Zone Conference was President Judd Showed us a little notebook he had, where he writes down every spiritual prompting he receives. He didn't challenge us to do the same or anything like it but when he held it up I knew I had to do the same. The next day I went a bought a pocket sized notebook and have been writing the promptings I have been receiving down. When we listen, hear and then do I have learned that the heavens open. This is a habit I am really trying to form because I know it will bless me all throughout my life. President Judd called it "Learning the Language of the Spirit" I can feel with in myself the Desire and Joy of Learning this language more and more.
