This week has been great and extremely fast! We've been rushing around to try and see everyone and the time just flies. But the one highlight of the week was that we got to go to London on Friday for a Zone Conference! It was the longest Conference ever. It lasted almost all day... But it was a great one. We learned all about making sure to be anxiously engaged. Without being anxiously engaged we don't get much accomplished. Okay so imagine the scene below- two fish bowls and one of the fish is jumping to the other fish bowl

In the first fish bowl the fish felt to crowded and bored and not getting anywhere. He was just going in circles and following the crowd. So he took a leap of faith and jumped to the other bowl where there was new opportunities and a new adventure! Now sometimes we don't make it to the other bowl but if we have the Lord on our side He'll move the bowl to catch us. As missionaries sometimes we get stuck thinking we have to do everything in the same way, like finding and teaching people. But that's not the case. It doesn't work for everyone and so it's up to those who have a brain to take the initiative and make the change to find success. The Zone Conference was really good because I was feeling like I was in a rut. But that's only because I wasn't thinking of new things to make new success. Now I'm ready to tackle the work with renewed vigor. Hopefully all that made sense. And it doesn't just go for missionary work. Anything in life is the same.
