Called to Serve in Provo: Week 36- Temple week

Hola Everyone!

So it probably sounds weird getting an email from me on Tuesday, because Preparation day is on Monday right?

Right! But not this Preparation day. They've made it a new rule that we need to go to the temple on our Preparation day, and most temples are closed on Monday. But cool thing, we woke up at 4 this morning and trekked 100 miles to get to the Manti temple with our district.

That temple is gorgeous! It's out of our mission too which is cool, but we didn't want to hang around too long. Annnd we got to see a live endowment session. So that was a once in a life time experience too!

Currently we are driving back to Helper! Here's us, down below. The scenery is suuper pretty! Wayyy greener than Arizona's mountains. But that's okay.

So a few people have asked what we do as Zone Leaders, I guess I didn't explain it well enough.

This is the jist of it, it's not too glamorous, consider it more like a zone babysitter. We do stuff like deal with, chastise and support troubled missionaries, and collect key indicators at the end of the week to send them to the assistants. We also advise on how to be more successful and positive, not that I know how yet :), because here in Helper/ Price the members aren't as friendly, some missionaries of trouble with that. So it's pretty simple, and fun too. We get and give a lot of training too! On Tuesday we have to go to 8 hours of training, called missionary leadership council. Then on Thursday we do a Zone training meeting for 3 ish hours. That's going to be fun. So Christ was right, we serve our missionaries a lot and he said it perfectly. "If any are chief among you let him be your servant. We just have a bit more responsibility.

Anywho, this week Elder Redmond and I went on 2 exchanges with the 2 of the District Leaders in our zone. The first was on Wednesday and that one was with elder Hansen and Carr. I went with Elder Hansen. There's pics below.

The next exchange was on Saturday with Elder Tuaui and Elder Hernandez. I went with Elder Hernandez. Once again, pics below.

Last Monday night we found a new investigator, her name is R. We don't really have that big of a teaching pool here. It's a smaller town and a little harder to find people. Not that they're not there.

But we did have a miracle baptism this week, her name is K. She was super prepared, and couldn't get baptized any day out of the next few months, because the schedules are so filled and hard to work with. So we squeezed it in for this Saturday. And it worked out. It was incredible, the spirit was so strong. We had a few other elders with us because we were doing exchanges that day.

Anywho, that's about all folks let me know how you're doing. bye!
Love you,
Elder Minson
