JANUARY 30, 2012

 Well, as for my week, it was a great week, it started off a little slow, We also had a meeting in Raleigh on Friday, and that went really really well, we just account for our zones and learn some doctrine and find out what president wants us to do with the mission and then we hand it down, we had a great month here in Fayetteville. we are really excited because we have 3 more companionships this month to help with the effort. It is so exciting. We also biked about 33 miles the other day, not as much as I use to but I will tell you what, I am really out of shape with biking.. On the other hand my running is really good, we run 2-3 miles every other day, we would run more but we have other exercise we like to do. I was getting really chubby there for a minute.. Well the martialese family, we went over there last night, they are so nice!! We get there our member sits down and starts playing his instrument and then we get the wife to begin to play and she starts singing and it was great!! We are going to go shop at a dollar store today for food. Should be an adventure. So lately we have really been thinking about what could help our zone, almost all of the missionaries in the zone are under one year.. So they are almost all new or being trained... so really young, and we are going to be focusing on having good personal and companionship studies. We are still focusing on conversion of the missionary but we know that this will come through their own experiences in the gospel and learning more. And that applies to all of us in our studies; it is a life long pursuit to gain conversion. Anyway we are going to follow up with them every week. But for our personal area we have been thinking about what we need to do to see the area grow, and we realized that we must give all the credit to God, and since we have been doing that, we have really seen a big change in the area, so it boils down to humility. Well that is about it I guess.. It was a really good week. Well that was about the week in a nutshell. Have a great week.
