HELLO EVERYONE!!!

so this week was pretty crazy. first week as a zone leader. we are in charge of over 40 missionaries sooooo ya its legit. I have actually loved it. besides being busier than ever it has been the best week yet. i feel like i learned soooo much this week. i love how i get to know everybody so well in this position. its awesome to get to love all these awesome missionaries. i dont wanna see any of them go. i had one sick day this week but i slept through gym that night and felt better the next morning. the TRC this week was my favorite. its basically like home teaching in german. is sooooo fun actually. and its such a confidence boost when you can communicate effectavely (cant spell anymore) in german. the people are always so awesome too. wayyy less stressful than teaching investigators. our investigators are progressing though! our jehovas witness has finally decided to read in the book of mormon and we committed him to pray with faith, in the name of Jesus if it is a true book. both he and Wolfy agreed to come to church with us which was AWESOME. hopefully they felt the spirit there and both recieved witnesses of the truthfulness of the BOM. i had some awesome personal studies this week too! i read in the BOM everyday. Nephi is just the sickest. such a spiritual stud. nephis psalm in 2nephi4 is awesome!! and 2nephi2 is probably my favorite chapter in the BOM at this moment. the Lord consecrates our afflictions for our good. adam fell so that we could come to the earth, and we came to the earth so we could have joy. everyone is free to choose liberty through Christ or captivity through satans schemes. such awesome stuff in that chapter. also the book "our search for happiness" is sooo good. it has the best description of the great apostasy. such a feast of knowledge this week. the german is coming along. our teachers dont teach us grammar hardly at all so thats on us to learn. their philosiphy (spelled awful i know) is that the spirit teaches and we only have to know enough german to get the point across. it makes sense. i would like to not sound like an idiot tho. this week is gonna be soooo cool. all the new mission presidents are being trained here and apparently there is usually at least one member of the first presidency that comes!!! im banking on Uchtdorf! that would be awesome! as long as we get an apostle ill be stoked tho cause we havent had one since ive been here! oh i also forgot to say that we got new missionaries in the zone this week!! we miss the old ones like crazy but these new ones are super solid. we got to kind of welcome them in as zone leaders and that was real fun. we wanted to welcome them into our zone and the whole zone really worked together to make them feel welcome. the german zone has the most elect of missionaries. no lie. i think its rigged for us to get the most solid of elders and sisters. anyways im running out of time. LOVE YOU ALL AND PLEASE KEEP WRITING!!! letters are the greatest.
