I've just been having a great time!
We had a ward Christmas party Saturday and I
was able to meet a lot of the Ward members that way which was so nice. Sorry I
didn't take any pictures.
Also, we had Zone Conference Thursday where 3
zones (San Francisco, San Francisco West, and Hayward zone) went to a church
building in San Francisco and had training all day long. Elder Packer came (no,
not the General Authority, but our Area authority). He is awesome and talked
about Moral Authority, basically meaning you have to practice what we preach.
And right before then, me and my companion had a training on How to Baptize
Weekly and principles on how we can achieve that high goal. We’re committed to
doing it. It's going to take a lot of hard work.
I am a little bit cold. The only bed sheet I
have is the thin blue blanket we got that I brought out with me. And I
accidently left my Mr. Mac jacket in my old apartment. Thankfully, I’m not on
bike. I would be freezing. There are actually bike sisters now. We feel so bad
for them.
We were able to go up to the temple yesterday
with our new investigator, Gervie. She loved it and is super excited about
getting baptized!
Our responsibilities as a zone leader are basically
to give trainings to our zone, account to the assistants and the mission
president on how the missionary work is going in our zone. We also have a
monthly coordination meeting with the Stake Presidency and the mission
president on how the wards are doing with missionary work. The funnest thing to
do is go on exchanges with our district leaders and be able to see how they do
missionary work and learn from them and they learn from you. I really like how
everyone is patient with me. I feel like I don't really know what I am doing
but everyone is helping me out and it makes it a lot easier and less stressful,
especially my companion is patient. I still don't know the area really well,
still trying to do better at that as well.
Also I met Elder and Sister Weeks again at zone
conference, weren't they the parents of Bishop Shumway?
Thank you for all of your love and
encouragement! And say hello to the Ward for me!
Love,
Elder Ranquist
