Surprise!

     Sorry for the unexpected email on Monday. President changed the day of our meeting to next Monday because we had zone meetings on the 24th and the 31st. So he gave us a break. But he didn't tell us until Wednesday night....haha. So next week will be the Wednesday email. So this week, we unfortunately didn´t baptize...it was rough because we have some possibles but we never found them through the week. But this week we will baptize for sure! So we had another zone meeting and activity on the 31st to close out the new year season. We played some more basketball and soccer, and we got to watch the movie 17 miracles. It was really fun, and we did something fun for the zone meeting. Instead of just giving talks, we made different activities so we were up and around. We made a maze in the overflow of the stake center with chairs, benches, and tables. We blindfolded the missionaries and timed them through the maze. haha it was funny. My companion and I were the lab rats and we did the first run before anybody got there. I did pretty good, just hit my head on a white board...haha. Other missionaries walked straight into walls, almost doubled over on benches, and hit their shins on chairs. The whole point was based on a scripture in Isaiah 59. Where if we don´t obey God or keep the commandments, we feel the wall like blind men do. It was a fun way to get the obedience point across.  We had some problems with obedience, so my companion and I had to get on a few people. The maze I thinked helped them. I´ll send some pictures of the maze in a minute. So that´s all I have for this week, but I´ll have more next week when we get the results from last month. I love you all!

Con amor,

Elder Barton
