!!!

I guess I'll just give you guys some highlights of the week:

Zone Conference was awesome! We had some really good inspired training from our mission President about how we are at our best when we are doing what God wants us to be doing. He also talked about how we receive more spiritual power as we keep our covenants, including those which we made in the temple.

For Zone Conference, we traveled to Cardiff, which was cool for a few reasons. First, because I LOVE Wales, and I hadn't been back since I was transferred from Llanelli last December. Secondly, because the missionaries currently serving in Llanelli were there too, so I got to talk to them about how the Watkins family is doing. I guess they have been teaching Fran more recently, but she still refuses to give up smoking for now. I'm not too worried, at this point, I am confident that the Spirit will continue to do its work on her. I still remember the first day I met her (over a year ago now!), she told me she didn't even believe in God.

We had a really good lesson with Martin the other day--I think he really is starting to catch the vision of how he can overcome all his challenges and be rebaptised one day. He is going to make a list of all the things that he has overcome so far and all the things he still needs to overcome to get there.

We taught this cool kid named Rujit from Nepal on saturday. He didn't make it to church, but hopefully he will in the future. I really hope we can start to see some more spiritual progression in at least some of the many people we have met here.

Anyway, have an amazing week!

Love,
