So....I have to apologize. When I said that we weren´t going to be emailing this week, I was thinking that this would be the first Monday of the month....half way through the week, I realized that Monday still fell in September, and had no way of telling you guys...sorry. So this week was a kind of normal week. With a lot of stress, not a lot of sleep, and mosquitos biting us at night. haha. I wake up with 3 new bites every morning on my hands. haha. My comp. and I just bought some stuff for it. This week was kind of rough on the zone. Some areas blanked and had 0 investigators at church, so we were trying to find out why and what they were doing throughout the week. Then a few of the sisters are having problems with health and they aren´t really excited to be here. And every night that we receive the numbers, there are at least 1 or 2 errors in every text. We have to send the numbers to the assistant, so when there are errors, we have to call the areas directly to ask why and get on them a little bit for not sending their numbers right. It results in less sleep and more stress. But it´s fun. I´ve never had this much responsibility regarding other people and trying to find the way to fix it for every area. I´m just grateful I´m in a small zone for now. So this week, we had zone conference with Presidente. I got to share my first message in a zone conference. My topic was how to ask inspired questions. I thought it would be easy but then I heard that I had to only to practices. It´s hard enough asking an inspired question on the spot with investigators. But I had to come up with something to do in front of the zone and Presidente. You can´t really plan what inspired question you are going to ask, but I think I did pretty well with it. President and Hermana Whitehead shared messages from chapter 10 from Preach My Gospel. Which teaches us how to be better teachers and how to develop differenc attributes. It was great as usual. So this week for reals this time we have the meeting of zone leaders with Presidente. For reals this time, we will be emailing on Wednesday. haha. I´m sorry for the confusion...Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts. I can feel them all the way through the pollution of Mexico City. haha. I love you all!
Con amor,
Elder Barton

| the 2 sweet watches I bought. I bought them both together for the worth of 25 dollars. The Tacuba Metro is full of steals like that (mom note: (my thought) why did he use the word "steals"? I know that the reason you buy two watches is so when one is stolen you still have a watch. Also, I seem to remember sending him to Mexico with 4 watches....) |
