Brett-October 29, 2008

Well the reason I'm writing today instead of Monday is because on Monday we took a little road trip out to Lubbock for Zone Conference. Elder Pearson of the 70 came and spoke so we had a combined Conference with half the mission. I've never seen so many missionaries. Our mission is so big that we never have meetings with the whole mission...even on Christmas. Well the conference was awesome!! Elder Pearson is truly inspired and I learned so much and realized I need to step it up and take things to the next level. He had us all prepare 5 minute talks beforehand on how we can become better disciples of Christ. And I swear everything that I wrote in my talk was covered throughout the day. This past week has been a lot of fun. We've been teaching a ton and I know that we're going to see results sooner or later. Last weekend we went down to the base, that's the more ghetto part of Roswell, and there were some kids playing basketball at the park. Elder Zambrana is way good at basketball, he had a few scholarships to go play in college. So we challenged them to a game in our pros. and said if we win y'all have to come to church with us tomorrow. They thought we were crazy and that they were going to tear us up...oh how wrong they were. We schooled them so bad haha a few minutes into the game they were saying things like Dang do we have to go to church to get this good?? Do y'all play in the NBA?? haha crazy stuff like that. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately nobody came to church with us but we're famous down at the base now. Well things are going great out here. I love serving the Lord and there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be right now. I love you all. Have a great week.
