Well I'm still in Lafayette, serving on Purdue Campus! It's been very fun so far, and the 3 months I've been here have really flown by. A few updates on the area, we have had 2 baptisms in my time here, and we are now setting up for 3 more. We have 1 that is very ready, and is just waiting on a confirmation about President Monson. 2 others that are waiting for more spiritual witnesses about the Book of Mormon, and Joseph Smith. It's so neat to watch the spirit work with these wonderful people. I have really come to love them all! Elder Wilson and I were able to prepare a wonderful Zone Training meeting. It's a 3 hour meeting that we are in charge of and it's just for our zone. We unveiled a new "vision" for our zone, or a theme that will guide our next few months worth of work: "Why do I love them?" In all the things that we do, ask yourself that same question. Why do I love those kids in the back seat that are yelling and crying? Why do I love those kids in my school class that disrupt everything? Why do I love my Husband/Wife? It's put so much into perspective for me. I have been asking this question multiple times a day, as we study and plan, and teach. It's easy to find compliments, and begin to feel that genuine charity towards others. I encourage all to come up with, or apply this vision to their lives. It's been amazing!
Not much else... conference rocked! I hope we get new younger missionaries here! I'd be excited to see how they do!
Keep the faith!
