7/2/24 Summer Zone Conference

Well, I'm not sure about you guys but it got to 85 degrees in 90% humidity. And in the midst of all that, we had ZC.

Zone Conference and zone p-day were mixed together. Good thoughts from everyone and the main takeaway was remembering our purpose as missionaries. With that in mind, went and began our p-day just after lunch. Played some football and ultimate frisbee. Its been a while but still managed to do well at frisbee.

Also, went on splits with the ZL's. Lets just say being in a trio for splits makes things quite interesting. Trying to talk to people in a trio is a little weird but we managed. 

Then, church was really good. In Elders Quorum, we discussed ways to talk about the church with others. One common theme was simplicity in what we discussed. There is lots of truth we share but the most important thing is that Jesus Christ is central to everything. Whether its through introducing the Book of Mormon, talking about the Plan of Salvation, or discussing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it all goes back to Him. So, the challenge for you all this week is to look for the little, simple, good things in your lives.

Anyhow, here's the rest:
- Went to a baptism and made a few origami cranes there.
- Entered the main ZC room at exactly the wrong time and everyone just stared at me. Then proceeded to say the wrong thing in Finnish as well. Definitely a good start to the conference.
- Also went to members places on Sunday and Monday. Had some good laughs at both and also good spiritual thoughts from my companion.

Honestly, this week will also be packed with MyPlan travel stuff. So, lots to look forward to. Hope you all have a great 4th of July!

The work awaits,
