Hey everybody! Right out of the gate, this week was pretty packed. Lots to do, and lots going on. But let's get right into it, shall we?
Everything was normal last week, until Thursday. After that, everything just kind of went all over the place. On Thursday, we had Zone Conferences. In week 6 of the cycle. Very unusual, since we normally have those around the week 4 mark. But it was a pretty good conference, in my opinion. We talked a lot about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and how we can better teach it to the people in our areas. Definitely a helpful topic, since teaching people about Jesus Christ is sort of our entire job description. :P
The chaos continued on Friday, when I got a call early in the morning asking me to train the coming cycle. I, of course, accepted. My companion also got a call telling him that he was going to be a Zone Leader the next cycle, so we went into the transfer call already thinking we had it figured out. Or so we thought. But that comes later. On Saturday, we had a stake wide event for the youth who are preparing to serve missions, we did a sort of 'Day in the Mission' kinda thing, with a small training about how to share the message of the Restoration, and then going out to visit members, and do some street contacting. Definitely a fun time. But it did eat up a pretty big chunk of the day. And the transfer call, which is supposed to be Saturday night, didn't end up coming until Sunday morning. Which is where the surprise comes in.
Sunday morning, we get the call from the Zone Leaders, who then inform me that, on top of training, I'm also going to be the District Leader. Didn't see that one coming, I'll admit. But hey, should make for an interesting cycle, that's for sure.
Anyway. That's the rundown on what's up in Mexico City. See you all next week!
