Today was the best Zone Conference I've had so far. President Wade is just what this mission needs. We had some great trainings today, and it was so good to see some of the sisters in my greenie district! Ooops I mean "Sistrict". The topic this conference was planning. President Wade said that if we, as a mission, will plan more effectively and follow the guidelines in Preach My Gospel, that our number of baptisms per month could double. We learned some great ways at how to be more effective with our weekly and daily planning sessions. It was a great Zone Conference and our ward did a great job at providing lunch. Well, things are going great. Missions are definitely learning and growing experiences. I've struggled with my testimony, worrying about home (in my last email from home my mom said she may have breast cancer) and trying to get my feet under me as a missionary. It's been tough, but so good. The Lord is really blessing me and today it just hit me that I need to have more faith. Faith to do my part, ten trust that the Lord will bless me and take care of the rest. I don't have to do it alone - and I haven't been, but I need to develop a stronger faith.
