"I Want to Learn More!"

We went on exchanges with the other sisters in our apartment.  It was so much fun!  We visited with members in our ward and also found a new investigator.  She was a referral from our Ward Mission Leader in the Spanish Ward.  He works in a welding shop in front of her house.  During his lunch breaks he reads the Book of Mormon and because of that, our new investigator would start up conversations with him about the church, and now she's interested in learning more.

Overcoming Fears!

One thing that I have learned is the importance of overcoming our fears.  We all have fears in life or even just a bunch of little worries.  But part of life is learning to overcome them.  In order to do it, we have to do that very thing we want most to avoid.  For example, I strongly dislike OYM (open your mouth and talk to EVERYONE on the street).  I dislike it because it scares me.  But, the only way that I am going to learn to love it and to make it not scary is to do it.  After our interviews with President, we all made goals and plans to overcome our fears.  My district leader committed me to kill a spider by the end of the day.  I did it. #fearovercome

Interviews With the President!

We had interviews with President.  The entire zone meets and then one by one we have our interview with President. While we are waiting, the Zone Leaders and the Assistants to the President (APs) give trainings.   It lasted about 7 hours.  It was really good.  We were told to come with a question - I came with about 20 (just kidding, I'm exaggerating).   Every question but one was answered in the trainings before I even went in to talk to President.  Then during my interview, I got the last one answered.  It was good.  I learned a lot!
